Rolling
I am trying to get rolling on learning something new. I feel that my learning has been stunted for the last 7 years or so, and in the IT industry, that is a pretty bad thing..
I have been playing with Ruby on Rails a bit. It appears to be a powerful way to build database driven applications with minimal effort.. I am good at figuring out how databases are useful, and I am pretty lazy when it comes to pounding out code, so it may be a pretty good match.
I also have been hacking on the church website a bit... Moved it over to PHP so that I could use server side includes to reduce the hassle involved in updating it.. I downloaded a test version of Textmate on my MacBook. Now I have 28 days to dig up 58 dollars.. I am looking for a good embedded podcast player if anyone has some suggestions.
In other news, Julia earned her Jr. Yellow belt. Nathan is going to test for his next month. I made Bratwurst's for dinner, but I fell fall short of making anything Big Al worthy. Maybe next time. I had to work today. They where moving servers around down in the data center, so it was slightly more exciting than your average saturday. I get to work graveyard shift on Sunday night / Monday Morning. That should be fun. It is kinda like going back home.. We are eliminating our graveyard shift in a week or so. So this will likely be my last visit to that shift.
