In my text processing class today the professor started teaching about Perl. I learned the basics a few years ago but had forgotten most of it because I don't use it often enough. And yet it came back rather quickly -- within, oh, five minutes. I like ...
After a month-long hiatus of sorts, Beyond is back. I moved the development blog over here and will be updating it fairly frequently from now on.

I'm a to-do list person. Can't help it. Lists here, lists there, and pretty soon lists everywhere. I carry a pocket-sized notebook around with me everywhere so I can jot down additions to my lists. I sleep with pen and paper by my bedside just in ...
I found out today that my web hosting company (Bluehost.com) doesn't support Ruby on Rails and doesn't plan on supporting it in the foreseeable future. It is a sad day. I suppose I could still learn it by installing it on my Powerbook, but it'd be much ...
I just discovered OmniGraffle. :) Sure, it came with my Mac, and I think I tried it out once when I was first exploring everything, but I'd forgotten about it until a recent thread on the BYUMUG mailing list, and a few minutes ago I decided to try it ...

So, I haven't gotten much programming done lately. These planned redesigns of my websites keep calling to me every time I post to one of my blogs or visit Blank Slate. ...
Two different people came to me today asking about genealogy on the Mac. So of course I told them about Beyond (and I really need to get the website up soon so I can tell people about it), but I feel kind of bad because it's still vaporware at ...
I haven't really mentioned my programming goals for 2006 yet, so here they are:
1. Learn Ruby on Rails (and rewrite Blank Slate with it).
2. Learn Ajax. I know Ruby on Rails gives it to you "for free," and that'll be quite nice, but I'd like to know how ...
I'm in the middle of reading Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby. It's hilarious. But I think only those with a certain sense of humor will appreciate it. At any rate, it does a good job of introducing Ruby and I'm thoroughly enjoying myself. I'll be ...
So here we go. :) Since I'll be posting a lot about computers and programming and stuff like that, I figured it'd be best to start a separate blog. More to come soon.
