I can see clearly now...
November 08, 2005 @ 04:38 AM... the rain is gone[1]...
I get it. I understand Ruby on Rails. I love it. Ajo and I have been working on a couple small projects to get our feet wet. I had “the moment.” If you’ve switched to Ruby recently, you know what moment I’m talking about. I’ve started two or three more projects in RoR now. GrowNext, an ERP-type system for greenhouses (purely a personal project to stretch my abilities, for now)... I’ll also be working on BrastenAndJessica.com, a site dedicated to my upcoming marriage… And I think I’ll begin working on replacing the current DellRumors.com with a RoR-backed site. Programming Happiness!
Amy Hoy recommended a book to me[2] called Don’t Make Me Think. After picking it up and reading the first few chapters, I’m recommending it to you. All about web design and keeping the users happy. It’s fantastic and a very well designed book, which makes sense if you think about it.
Also, there’s an elderly lady sitting behind me here at the coffee shop coughing every 5 seconds. I have no desire of being patient #1 in some bird flu pandemic. :(
[1] – Figuratively. I live in Seattle, the physical rain is currently fully present. [2] – Amy Hoy did not actually recommend the book directly to me.
