jaev 1.0 released
After some weeks the third release candidate of the jaev was the final one yesterday.
The jaev framework is in productional use at least one installation and no major problems where filed so far. I'm keeping my fingers crossed 
I am working already on some new features:
- Caching negative responses of mail servers
When a mail server refuses communication due to suspected spam, the result will be cached to reduce network traffic. - Suggest e-mail addresses
When the validation fails suggest a list e-mail addresses. This algorithm may use the previous request and a default list of domains to compute some suggestions.
If you have any good ideas, file them on the issue tracking system or the google group.
Maybe I am applying for a google wave developer sandbox access to provide a google wave robot for online e-mail suggestion. Bah, that sounds like some work
Maven and Flex hoodoo
The last time when I blogged about the Flex mojos I was still quite frustrated and thought I had a better solution. Now some time passed and on April the 3rd the new version (3.1) of the flex mojos was released and me and some of my colleges made some interesting discoveries.
Frist TV spot for scoyo
My new employer has created his first TV spot. It addresses the target audience quite aggressively, but I guess it's all right. The german culture lacks the will to pay for education at all.
Due to my position as head of client development I am very curios about the performance of our website when TV broadcasting starts. We have lots of good people in the operations and software development team but we never tested our system in peak usage scenarios. I'll guess you can't simulate the load generated by TV broadcast anyway. This reminds me on the 30th of may 2005, when we launched the simyo Website with prime time TV spots. Damn, I was nervous. And I really was relieved when called your customer to tell that the website was fine (gimme more!) and they already sold over 1,000 units. A highlight on their release party, which I missed. But I was a scary chicken that day and didn't want to travel half around Germany while nobody takes care about a brand new website
So, this is the scoyo TV spot:
I'll keep my fingers crossed when the first TV spot goes over the air ...
Waiting on the bank of river Elbe
