The “I’m so busy” post of random things…
I really hate posting things like this but I don’t want to say too much about what I have been working on. Not because it is top secret or anything, just that I don’t want people to look at it until it is presentable. Instead, let me tell you about the technology I have been playing with:
- Dreamweaver, Contribute, and Photoshop CS3 – These great applications (I would have liked a UI update on the lines of other OS X pro apps but ah well, next time). The speed improvements alone make them fun to use. I have been working on some new CSS lately for a new ‘International’ web site and Dreamweaver CS3 has been so nice to me.
- Ruby on Rails – ya ya I am a big RoR convert. Not because I can code it though. I love it because I find it much easier to manage a project that is using it. We have a new Experts and Speakers application along with something else in the works and I just love rails. It is even more exciting at the moment because there is some time going into optimizing the server environment.
- Twitter – if I haven’t said it before, I will say it now… this is one addictive web app and it might actually be useful. It is a really good knowledge dump.
- BarCampWaterloo – just over two weeks until the fourth BarCamp in Waterloo. Hoping it is the biggest one yet!
…oh and Facebook is starting to get creepy. No idea why, after a year in there with a few UW folks I was comfortable hanging out. Now it just insane and insane in a way that those of you who just got to University might never understand as you haven’t lost touch with people for 10 years. That is another post 
Details coming on our cool app.. promise.
