I'm not doing so hot at updating this blog regularly, am I. :) School's keeping me busy (seems like I say that a lot) but I'll try to figure out a focus, something that'll get me writing. (And be interesting to read.)
In the meantime, I think I want ...
After a month of OpenLaszlo, I've had enough. Coding in XML just isn't my style, I'm afraid. (And yes, I know you do half the coding in JavaScript, but that doesn't change anything.) I don't think that means XML-based programming languages are inferior or anything like ...
It's been a while since I wrote about programming. Almost a month, in fact. ~sigh~
So, the BYUFHLC is on hold for now due to time constraints at work. (I have to get all the new extraction software done by a month from now when we present it at ...
Last week on Top of the Mountains I mentioned my FHLC/UVRFHC mashup (which I'm now calling BYUFHLC). It's written in Ruby on Rails and is 75% done (I just have to add support for the non-place searches, like surname and such). Here at the Center for Family ...
Stumbled across Mephisto today. It's a Rails-based blogging system, and dang does it look good. ~drool~ I am pleased with WordPress, mind you, and it's treated me well, but I'd really really really love to blog on a Rails blogging app so I could tweak things in ...
Lately, the need to finish these major projects at work before I switch jobs at the end of August has turned most of my coding time (well, all of it right now) into ASP.NET time. Blech. It's okay, I suppose, and it could be worse (COBOL, anyone?), but ...
In response to Andy's comment, here's why I'm enjoying the ride on Rails.
Ruby. Once upon a time (and this time happened to be eight or nine months ago), I decided to learn Python. It didn't take long before I decided I'd never go back to Perl or ...
This next month is going to be a bit of a crunch, with several large projects to finish at work before I leave at the end of August. I guess that's why I haven't blogged here lately, but that's kind of dumb because work is coding and it should ...
I've gotten a quick prototype of Beyond up even faster than I expected. It's the bare minimum, but it works, and wow, Ruby on Rails really is as cool as I thought it was. :) Did I really just get it up as fast as that? ...
On Saturday I spent the whole morning reading through Ruby on Rails API and a number of other resources which have made quite a difference in my understanding. The API was the biggest thing, though. So much of what I had questioned before now makes sense. The ...
