Rails Day Completion

Sunday, June 18th, 2006

I just woke up after crashing hard. Rails Day was a blast - we hit some snags at the end, some of which we overcame, some of which we did not, but I’m still really happy with what we accomplished, especially considering the fact that neither of us really knows what we’re doing in Rails […]

More Rails Day

Saturday, June 17th, 2006

We’re closing in on the end of Rails Day - only 4 hours to go! I can’t believe we’ve been at this for nearly 18 hours; we’ve created something about which I’m really happy and optimistic - I think it’s something we could take quite a ways. Once the domain name goes through we’ll put […]

Rails Day 2006

Saturday, June 17th, 2006

Coming up on 7am, 8 hours in to Rails Day, and still going strong. We’ve made some pretty good progress, and Ryan’s really starting to get the hang of things. I’m putting in some tests now, though there are a few I’m not sure how to do yet. I’ve been actively participating in the RailsDay […]

Firefox Consistency On Multiple Machines

Thursday, June 15th, 2006

I’ve struggled for some time to find a balance between my computers - work, home, laptop, and beyond.

Finally, I’ve come across a few Firefox Extensions that I expect will make my life so much easier and […]

New Fun and Upcoming Activity

Monday, June 12th, 2006

I got a DS Lite this weekend, and it’s been a blast. Been playing some Brain Age and Big Brain Academy with Aaron today, the ease of connecting to share games is fantastic. Katie got a new sewing machine too, and she’s loving it. I knew there’d been advances in sewing technology, but going from […]

In Search of Productivity…

Tuesday, June 6th, 2006

I’m easily distracted, easily sidetracked. Whether its Bloglines, chat, sports scores, or the conversations of those around me (eavesdropper!), it’s been the bane of my existence and something I’ve struggled to deal withfor quite some time. In fact, I probably shouldn’t be stopping to write about it now, but here I am. In my recent […]

Programming Weekend

Monday, June 5th, 2006

I wish I felt like I’d be ready for Rails Day on the 17th, but I’m just not sure. I’m thinking I’d like to participate any way, for the experience. I’ve had an application idea in my mind for a couple months now, but working on other apps has kept me from it. Am I […]
