Ruby, RubyOnRails

My life has been changed. I have been a dedicated perl programmer (and perl evangelist) for over 10 years. I've always loved perl, until I was introduced to ruby that is. I've found a new favorite language. Ruby. It rocks. Its terse, follows (nay, enforces) DRY (Dont Repeat Yourself), and is extremely powerful and flexible. Its got perl culture and java class. I'm sold. Have some koolaid yourself at ruby-lang.org.

dead animals aren't only on the road

I was walking through the company parking lot today and happened to notice a dead bird stuck behind the bumper of a van. Pretty odd, looks like the poor thing was stuck there alive for some time. I'll post a photo as soon as i figure out whats wrong with my usb auto mounting.

back from OSCON

No, I've not quit photographing the dead animals, I was at oscon 2005 for the last week, and before that I've just been really busy. I'm guessing theres lots of fresh (kinda) meat to see on the roads since I've been gone, and I'll be posting a new one monday or tuesday probably. in the mean time, check out the photos from OSCON on the oscon2005 group at flickr.com.
