Every Project Needs a Home - Hacking Scala
Recently I created home page for my project Scaldi. I wanted to make it for a long time, but from the other hand I don’t want to spend much time finding some hosting and maintaining its infrastructure, making page design, etc. Github page is nice, but still I would like to have somethng more simple and unique as a project’s front page.
I think Scaldi is the first non-n8han project to use Pamflet—It’s always nice to watch a hobby project clamber over that hump. (And if I have overlooked a site that Brian Clapper produced with his fork of Pamflet, I apologize!)

Easy breezy restful service testing with Dispatch in Scala
My search led me to Dispatch, which is a highly compact Scala DSL wrapper around Apache’s reliable HttpClient. This DSL, however, is not very well documented and rather hard to decipher due to its heavy usage of symbolic method names but nevertheless highly appealing when understood.
No argument there.
Periodic Table of Dispatch Operators
This is so great. I’ve been in some kind of Mexican standoff (racist? —ed) with Dispatch users, waiting for somebody to write decent documentation for the request and handler verbs. Now Wilfred Springer has made something far better than it would have occurred to me to try to make.
They call this “enabling behavior” on the Oprah show, Wilfred.
