Talk went well.

I was nervous as usual, but I think I did pretty well. Almost everybody stayed until the end and folks asked lots of questions after the talk. After I clean up the speakers notes in my slides, I will hand them over to TriJUG so they can post them on the TriJUG site.

You did a great job during your talk. I've already put up my comment at talk.

I like the way you abstracted out the domain model from the persistence mechanism. I think it makes it easier to switch persistence mechanisms if a better one comes down the pipe.

Again great job. I wish more developers had the same passion you have for software and Java.

I did enjoy your presentation. I didnot realize that a topic as mundane as Weblogging could sustain my focus for so long!. I liked the way you presented the architecture part of it. I'd be interested to know if you have any nice links or writeup on Wiki vs Weblogs and how they go together.. In a corporate infrastructure, I am not really sure how wiki & web logging fit together... Wiki seems to apply better to knowledge transfering.. So as a developer I might update my wiki page when I am writing some code and next week when a new dev takes over my code and sees modifications, corrections etc, he'll rewrite the document. Wiki is probably more precious with respect to product documentation.. Weblog is more of a personal diary, so how will it help me in a corporate setting to maintain a web log ?

I use both a weblog and a wiki on my current project. I was the one who installed it and I'm an independent contractor on the project. I don't think my current client really cares about the weblog, but I use it as a "status report." So if he ever does want to know what I'm working on, he can view it. As for the wiki - it's become an invaluable tool for writing tutorials.

And BTW, I'm investigating that "#showStatusMessage()" thing at the top of the first comment. Looks like an error I introduced when I hooked up hierarchical cats.

Steve: Wikis and weblogs are similar in many ways and share many features. Generally speaking, a wiki is good for shared information, a sort of shared collaborative workspace. If you develop tutorials, specs, hits, and tips on a wiki your coworkers will be able to help you develop and maintain your work. A weblog is better for a personal, categorized, timestamped log - it is your personal log space.

I'll add my "nice job," Dave. Well-organized, well-presented, and you adapted it well to the responses from your audience.

Apologies for getting excited about the more...metaphysical aspects of the Blog phenomenon. But the resulting discussion was interesting, even if it didn't really have much to do with the design and implementation of blog-software!

And so now I'm on JRoller, and it's All Your Fault. Way to go!

Excellent presentation Dave! You really made me interested in Velocity, X-Doclet, Hibernate and ofcourse JRoller. Also thanks for your advice on SAS! :) I really appreciate it. -Amish
