Boundless Body Radio Reversing Diverticulitis on a Carnivore Diet with Olaf Kock! 796Send us a textOlaf Kock is working in the software business, currently in technical sales. As a self-described nerd, he found the ketogenic diet in 2012 through a podcast on software security out of pure chance and quickly started a one month trial of the mysterious condition called ketosis.This experiment has evolved through several flavors since then, but as far as Olaf is concerned, the experiment never ended, and he is still ketogenic to this day!Compared to many others on the ketogenic lifestyle, his health journey was rather unremarkable until 2024, when...

Radio Liferay RL067 Bryce Osterhaus on Frontend DevelopmentFor this episode of Radio Liferay, I've talked with Bryce Osterhaus, Frontend Developer at Liferay for ~ 6 years. With his experience, he's a perfect complement to me: While he feels at home in the browser, client side, I'm comfortable on the backend, away from all of the messy frontend stuff - prepare for some naïve questions coming his way. We spoke about a design decision that has been made in some internal projects: His team has built a UI that does not utilize Liferay's page/site infrastructure. It's rather an application that utilizes some of the infrastructure but not what's t...

Radio Liferay RL066 Ryan Schuhler on creating liferay.comA while ago I sat down with Ryan Schuhler. He's Associate Program Manager at Liferay, which is a fancy name for Webteam Lead, and we talked about "dogfooding" Liferay DXP to build liferay.com - which features are used, how the site evolved and what is fed back into the product.

Radio Liferay RL065 Zsolt Balogh - Happy BirthrayOops - in times of fast news like this, I sat on the recording for a while. Unacceptable, but as almost nobody is commuting in April/May 2020, it's questionable if you'd have put it on during your commute anyway... Happy 10th Birthray to Zsolt and me and several others (listen to the episode if you want to know what that means) This is a quite non-technical episode, just two people remembering the "good old times": Don't expect to learn anything new about the product(s) - instead you'll hear about how we got from "there" to "here" in the past 10...

Radio Liferay RL064 - David Nebinger - Horror StoriesAn episode that was recorded together with episode 62, but got a bit lost (well, I admit - it was just sitting on my disk). But here we are: David shares four of his favorite horror stories - those that tought him what he never wants to see again. Hopefully it's useful so that you learn from it before experiencing those stories yourself.

Radio Liferay RL063 Andrew Jardine - Mastering LiferayFor this episode I spoke with Andrew Jardine, Community Contributor Award winner for 7 years in a row about his history with Liferay, the community, how to improve it and, of course, his new passion project, https://masteringliferay.com/ We've recorded this episode during Devcon 2019, but I've been keeping it back for a bit, to give Andrew a bit more time to produce more content for the site that we mainly talk about.

Radio Liferay RL061 Caris ChanIt took me long enough to bring her on: She's followed Liferay's history for longer than some of the other founders: Caris Chan. And yes, that name means that she's Brian Chan's wife. During my last visit in Liferay HQ, I took the opportunity and asked her about her view on Liferay's history - about 15 years for the company and 20 years for the software project.

Radio Liferay RL059 Testing at Liferay with Kristoffer Onias and Victor WareYay, another episode, and maybe in time to sweeten your trip to Devcon in Amsterdam. I spoke to Kristoffer Onias and Victor Ware. Both work on testing Liferay with different areas of interest. You'll hear quite a bit about what Liferay does internally on testing. I actually talked to them quite a while ago, and the episode has been sitting on my disk since then.The numbers that you hear may no longer be accurate, but the overall information definitely is. Sorry for keeping it a secret for so long (there's an even longer kept secret... up next...) (More notes...

Radio Liferay RL058 Jorge Ferrer (continued)Two episodes (or an eternity) ago, I spoke to Jorge Ferrer, Liferay's VP of Engineering. We didn't have enough time to finish the conversation, so we continued a while after - and then I buried the recording /o\. Anyway, apart from it being still from "before the release of the current version", it's still relevant stuff, I feel bad about missing to post it. Check for yourself - here it finally is.

Radio Liferay RL057 Documentation with Jim Hinkey and Cody HoagToday I'm welcoming a repeat guest and a new one: Jim Hinkey (of episode 21 fame) and Cody Hoag - both from Liferay's documentation and knowledge management team. This episode has unfortunately suffered from various disturbances in the space-time-continuum: I had it sitting on my disk for quite a while. The Javadoc Contest that we've "started" in this episode was actually published/announced in the meantime and unfortunately ended recently. Congratulations to Sébastien and Marcellus. However, not to render the call for action in this episode useless, let's start another one soon - there can't be enough Javadoc, and I a...

Radio Liferay RL056 Jorge FerrerToday I'm welcoming a repeat guest, Jorge Ferrer, Liferay's VP of Engineering. I've had the great opportunity to ask him a lot of questions that provide deep insight into what's running behind the scenes in the engineering team. We didn't have enough time, so this is part 1 of our conversation, to be continued in episode 58. I need to squeeze in the (already recorded) episode that contains more information about the Javadoc Contest (please participate).

James was the first guest on Radio Liferay (back in episode 1 - as well as others) and now - at least temporarily until episode 66 is published - will be the last. We're talking about upcoming changes, and sadly it looks like this will be his last appearance on this program.

Radio Liferay RL051 Raymond Augé - Motivation for ModularizationAnother Devcon "private" session - I missed his presentations, but got the summary right when he was done: Ray Augé took the time to answer all sorts of questions about the Modularization in Liferay 7. In fact, he answered so many questions that we made it a 2-episode recording. This week it's about the motivation for modularization: What problem does it solve? Next week will be more technical, telling you about the implications of the updated architecture to your code.

He's Software Architect at Prodyna AG, a Liferay Partner and the author of Nabucco Script Center, a Liferay App available on the Marketplace. He also convened the "Pimp my Scripting Engine" workshop at Liferay's Devcon 2015, which I missed. But this only provided a perfect reason and excuse to speak to him. As we recorded this on site at Devcon, you'll hear more background noise than usual - As usual, Auphonic did their best to clean the recording, and they did a great job.

I grabbed Chema Balsas, Software Engineer at Liferay Spain, and Emil Öberg, Consultant at Monator Technologies, a Liferay Partner Company in Sweden. This is a three-way conversation with Chema Balsas and Emil Öberg that we had during Liferay's Devcon 2014. Chema had a Theme-Workshop (sorry, no recording) and Emil a presentation on Rapid Frontend Development, so it made sense to talk to both of them as their experience overlaps.

Brett had a presentation on DevOps Best Practices with Liferay, Logstash, Kibana, Elasticsearch, and New Relic at Devcon (among other symposiums and events).

A while ago I talked with Juan Fernandez and Ivica Čardić about an exciting project they're collaborating on: Liferay Cloud Services. "What's this?" you ask? Well, good that you're asking, because here's the explanation. It's all about helping you monitor the health of your Liferay Installation, keeping an eye on the installed fixpacks (if you're using EE) or showing you some monitoring information that the server provides and you'd otherwise risk not to see.

Radio Liferay RL022 Samuel Kong - Radio Liferay Episode 22Yes, I know. I didn't keep my previous promise to quickly follow up with the next episode.

Radio Liferay RL021 Jim Hinkey.

Radio Liferay RL018 Radio Liferay Episode 18: Michael Young on founding, sync, wsrp and ejb in marriage websitesI finally spoke to Mike Young, founder, CTO and employee number 2. Unfortunately Mike had to leave early after last year's european symposium, so there I just got "the Brians" instead of the whole founder circle. This completes "the founders", though with Mike I'm more on the technical side. However. For those interested in the company history, there's still some things in there. As you'll see and hear, Mike is the project lead for Liferay Sync which has just been released this week (1. February 2012) - check it out or listen to the earlier episodes where it was mentioned. (11 and 13) Please refer...

With this, you get an impression of how a highly visible and intense project is structured and what's happening behind the scene.
