  To follow up on my debugging of the Hibernate issue I was having a couple days ago in the KeepTabs project where viewing a single bookmark loads the entire User graph… It turned out that the issue was a bug in the auto-generated JSPX files that Spring Roo MVC created. This is one of the [...]

• Ajax Notetaker

  Posted on May 31, 2006 by Ben S. in KeepTabs, SaaS, Web Design

• Online Calendars

  Posted on February 9, 2006 by Ben S. in Business, KeepTabs, SaaS, Startup Journal, Web Design

  Joel Spolsky talks about some good usecases for online Calendars… My needs are probably weird, but not that weird. Here’s what I need a calendar to be able to do: Enter flights. Many of these calendars only lets me enter things that start on 15 minute intervals, and flights are just not scheduled that way. [...]
