Programming.

I have only one regret...

And that's that I didn't start programming when it first occurred to me that I should. I'd be at least four years further along. Sigh...

A brief list of the things I've been working on.

The front burner:

Chapter 6b - the layman's introduction to database migrations in Ruby on Rails
