Create Database

I'll need to remember this information to set up MySQL in production.

mysql> create database qotd_prod;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> grant all on qotd_prod.*
 -> to 'prod_user'@'localhost'
 -> identified by 'password';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.05 sec)

Trying Is The First Step Towards Failure

Homer Simpson said that. I found it while searching for quotes to add to the quote of the day application I built following Glen Smith's instructions. Glen is part of an excellent podcast on Groovy and Grails (and Griffon?) and is now also teaming up to write a book on Grails. I think I will find inspiration in Homer's sage advice and get on with failing. If I do it enough times I just might suceed.

I Am Not Alone

Maybe this web thing will catch on. In researching blogging tools I found someone kicking off a new Grails project that plans on blogging how it goes. Hmm, sounds familiar. Feel free to follow along and see who finishes first.
