Kryptonite
After two weeks, seven finals, hundreds of items piled up in Bloglines and a broken wiki, I return to the world of language wars and license wars and whatever more. As I’m writing this I have my local copy of Novemberborn up, behind the text editor, and I see the bright yellow of the Reboot banner (to the right, link). Oh yeah, less than six days to go! Rock! Supposedly I’m going to get interviewed by Nicole Simon of the preboot podcast, so we’ll see how that goes.
Yesterday I started at the new job, I’m a colleague of Anne now, if you’re inclinced to know. I get to do cool JavaScript work, with what a great team (it’s good to work with other folks who do JavaScript, instead of developing on your own). It also happened to be the first day something “in real life” told me I should “blog” more, well, this one’s for you, Lon!
Speaking of the “blog”, I’ll be getting a PowerBook later this month, and wil be spending the weekends on hacking away at this site. I’ve got some cool stuff lined up, and if the Ruby on Rails framework is as fast to develop in we should definately see some results before the summer ends. In any case, I’ve already read the pickaxe (great book, even if you don’t care about programming you should read it, it’s that much fun), and although I’ve written not even a few hundred lines of code, it’s the most beautiful language ever.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a wiki to repair.
