Afternoon, Evening, Morning to all, Grab a beer/coffee/cup of tea and settle in for an exciting read. Today's Recap is exceptional: we have no less than four blog posts, new slides, upcoming presos and more.
** You'll notice there are no Gists from #riak in today's Recap. This is not for lack of content. It's due to just the opposite, actually. The release of 0.13 and Search gave way to some great conversations in #riak but I wanted to make sure I got this Recap out before it was too late and decided to leave that content out due to lack of writing time today. But, there is some good stuff in the logs, so I would urge you to go read them if you have a moment: http://irclogger.com/riak/2010-10-11 http://irclogger.com/riak/2010-10-12 That said, if you happen to read the logs and you happen to think there are any convos or orphaned questions in there worth putting on the list, definitely Gist them up and send them out to everyone. Enjoy!

Rusty's talk details are here ---> http://strangeloop2010.com/talks/14453 3) There were a flurry of blog posts that appeared about Riak Search after its release on Monday: 3.1) Alain O'dea (@alainodea) wrote up a quick post called, "Riak, now with Search." This is a great little overview of that starts with configuring several buckets in Riak for indexing in Search and then takes you through doing some queries. Post here ---> http://concise-software.blogspot.com/2010/10/riak-now-with-search.html 3.2) Joe Lambert wrote a post called "Riak/Riak Search: Setting bucket props and custom extractors" for his blog Seg Fault. As the title eludes to, this one is all about setting bucket props and custom extractors. Another short but great read! Post here ---> http://www.megarockv.com/2010/10/13/riakriak-search-setting-bucket-props-and-custom-extractors/ 3.3) Mathias Meyer (@roidrage) wrote up a post for his blog entitled, "Why Riak Search Matters..." This is a an awesome piece. Post here ---> http://www.paperplanes.de/2010/10/12/why_riak_search_matters.html 4) Rusty Klophaus posted his slide deck from the recent Riak Core talk he gave at the CUFP conference. Slides are here ---> http://www.slideshare.net/rklophaus/riak-core-building-distributed-applications-without-shared-state 5) Looks like the Homebrew install for Riak has been brought up to speed with the 0.13 changes. http://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/commit/d9bbc117f704a4371cd5e02d27fc100d71f3ed63 h/t to Preston Marshall (@bbhoss) for helping out here! 6) OJ (@TheColonial) posted the third piece in his series about development with Webmachin, ErlyDTL and Riak. To quote @russelldb [1] , this is turning "into an in-depth and comprehensive series on erlang web dev." It's long, but it's _worth_ it! Post here ---> http://bit.ly/9j2Zp2 [1] ---> http://twitter.com/#!/russelldb/status/27216352323 7) Rusty responded to a comment on the Basho Blog from jpartogi asking "What is the reason for using Java for some bits in riak-search?" Some of you might be interested in the response.
