I have only one regret…

By Grubb | Published: February 23, 2010
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: Wordpress customization CSS Photoshop jQuery GitHub The back burner: Rails Sinatra HAML SASS Webby Facebook APIs A whole lot of PHP, CSS, JS, and when I have time, Ruby.

Chapter 6b – the layman’s introduction to database migrations in Ruby on Rails

By Grubb | Published: October 14, 2009

This is not for programmers. This is for myself, because when I first started poking at Rails 6 months ago, I didn't have any idea why I needed to edit a migration file, much less what a migration was, except that it must have something to do with a database. I only knew that because of the command

Chapter 6a – Version Control

By Grubb | Published: October 14, 2009

So it's been a while, eh? Not too much in the mood to write about what I've learned when most of what I've learned is how much I have to learn, y'know? Anyway, I've been back into Ruby on Rails lately, since Ruby has got to be the dead simplest real programming language out there. Oh yeah, and I have a major project cooking on Rails, but I'll elaborate later. Let's talk about version control...

IE6

By Grubb | Published: July 23, 2009
Here's a link to a techCrunch article that links to yet another cute little video that someone put up on YouTube. The gist is that designers and programmers hate the stupid quirks and security holes that are present in IE6 and have mounted a vigorous campaign to get corporate IT departments to finally get on with the upgrade. But, I actually work a bit in corporate IT, at a call center full of computers running IE6. They're running that way by necessity, because many of the computers in that place are so old that they won't run an OS newer than Windows 2000. How about that techCrunch?

Giddy-up

By Grubb | Published: June 9, 2009
I'm relocating some stuff this week.  I've just bought a year of hosting with Media Temple, which seems to be where all the cool kids are parking their websites, and trying concurrently to transfer all manner of domains and live websites to said host.  This should be a lot of fun.  I'll probably hose a lot of stuff this week, this website, the new forum, who knows what else.  By the way, if you're thinking about registering a domain name, don't go Google Apps to do it.  They are a partner with GoDaddy, so just skip the middleman and go straight to GoDaddy.
