2010 is here, where did the time go?
Huh? It’s 2010? I haven’t posted in 6 months? What happened?
Summer of Learning Challenge
The Summer of Learning Challenge didn’t happen. I didn’t even do it. No excuses. I did other things.
All is not lost
Around the end of 2009, I dusted off my idea of creating a git based wiki like publishing portal with Rack. I put it together in about a week or so and it’s slowly evolving and gaining some content. It’s fun, even exciting, to bypass frameworks and DSLs and all the opinionated code and build something on the leanness that is Rack. A great learning opportunity to boot. So maybe something came of the challenge after all.
Rubyyot – Rack + Git
It’s up on rubyyot.com with the source on github still wonderfully rough around the edges and in need of a code review. Ahh, to create something again.
Flannel – Warm and fuzzy
I made my own markup parser for this, it’s called flannel and an liking it so far. Of course it too is still in it’s infancy, but I’m not only using it to format my wiki thing, I’ve also given it a little command line attention to allow it to transform text files for my blog posts. It’s warm, fuzzy and everything is just as I want it, and if not, I change it.
