Getting Blojsom working with IMified was a no-brainer:
- Get an IMified account
- Add a "Wordpress" service with your Blojsom blog's XML-RPC endpoint
and login details
- Post to your blog from the comfort of your instant messaging client
In the before time ... in the long, long, ago, there was blojsim which allowed you to post to blojsom from IM. Mark and I also wanted to create a service around information creation, aggregation, and exchange across stuff that we called "something me". It worked the same way as blojsim, but was really more agnostic. I don't run the somethingme service any longer.

I committed the scripts to run blojsom on the H2 database. Thanks Claudio.

Burton has this warranty they call W48. The whole idea is that they'll try their damnedest to get your warranty goods back to you within 48 hours after they get it.
I've only had to use rider services once before to get replacement screws for my new CO2 bindings. I could still ride with the bindings, but I had a frankenstein screw on there for a day.
Cut to about a month ago when I had ordered a new Field jacket. I had things packed in various pockets and I'm at the top of the mountain when I stretch my arms out before heading down and I notice the front zipper opened up. OK, maybe I didn't zip it up. Zip it up again. Stretch. Zipper opens. Ugggggggggh. Call rider services. Get a Return Authorization #. Send the jacket back for repair or replacement. A few weeks go by and I'd call every couple of days to see if I'm going to get my jacket back anytime soon. "Still at the seamstress," they'd say. I was beginning to lose my faith in W48 and Burton jackets since my iPod jacket from last season had to be sent back since the control pad was faulty. So, I call again this past Wednesday and finally they say, "It's been awhile, so we can give you a new Field jacket in medium or you can get the 3L jacket in small." I wear a small and the 3L was a better jacket anyway so I went for the 3L.
And so, even though W48 didn't quite work out like it's supposed to under ideal conditions, Burton still did the right thing and came through for the customer.
Sadly, it's getting warm again and there aren't many days left for riding.
*sigh*
I figured I could also knock off being able to write templates for blojsom in multiple scripting languages by implementing a BSF dispatcher. This would be similar to what Roller did with a BSFRenderer. blojsom has had the ability to use multiple presentation technologies since blojsom 1.0, so it wasn't a big deal to plunk down a few lines of code to get this working.
Now you can use any of the 20 some-odd scripting languages supported in the Bean Scripting Framework to write templates for blojsom. This in addition to dispatchers for JSP, Velocity, FreeMarker, WebMacro, and Groovy.
I did also play with the JRuby engine behind the BSF dispatcher to use Ruby's ERB for templates. The only minor gotcha was having to include the JRUBY_HOME on the CLASSPATH so that the application server could find the erb.rb file. The JRuby wiki page on require and load behavior was helpful.
After that it was just a matter of configuring the BSF dispatcher for "ruby".
<bean id="ruby" class="org.blojsom.dispatcher.bsf.BSFDispatcher" init-method="init">
<property name="blojsomProperties">
<ref bean="defaultProperties"/>
</property>
<property name="servletConfig">
<ref bean="servletConfigFactoryBean"/>
</property>
</bean>
And writing a template.
require 'erb'
template = ERB.new <<-EOF
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="<%= $BLOJSOM_BLOG.getBlogLanguage %>">
<head>
<title><%= $BLOJSOM_BLOG.getBlogName %></title>
</head>
<body>
<%
$BLOJSOM_ENTRIES.each{|entry|
%>
<p>
<%= entry.getTitle %> <br/> <%= entry.getDescription %>
</p>
<%
}
%>
</body>
</html>
EOF
$out.println template.result(binding)
And that's it!
P.S. You can declare the BSF dispatcher multiple times in the blojsom configuration to support multiple template types. Say, for Beanshell as well.
<bean id="beanshell" class="org.blojsom.dispatcher.bsf.BSFDispatcher" init-method="init">
<property name="blojsomProperties">
<ref bean="defaultProperties"/>
</property>
<property name="servletConfig">
<ref bean="servletConfigFactoryBean"/>
</property>
</bean>

A big thanks to Mother Nature for the 18" of fresh powder she dumped on Stowe Mountain in VT this past weekend.

Upgrading Confluence from 2.2.9 to 2.4.2 caused some minor pain in that Confluence didn't seem to want to create some BANDANAS table. So, I had to upgrade 2.2.9 to 2.3.3 to 2.4.2. Pffft ... whatev.
Gwen Stefani (almost) said it best.
The shit is bandanas, B-A-N-D-A-N-A-S!
Hallelujah holla back!
