Twitter is probably one of Web 2.0's most successful failures. Despite doing just about everything wrong, they have managed to hold onto their popularity and market share. It is rather surprising how despite more consistent downtime than uptime, continually turning off features to rewrite them time and...

Title: DM-Paperclip - Paperclip for DataMapper Tonight I posted the official release of the DataMapper port of Paperclip that I've been slowly working on for while. Paperclip is a Rails plugin by Thoughtbot which makes it really easy to attach files to your models. I've been interested in doing some...

This may seem a little bit off the wall, but one thing I've been starting to do lately is instead of littering my Projects directory with a bunch of ConsoleApplicationN folders, I've started using the unit test runner within ReSharper to fire up quick little sample things I need.

In late December is when I finally took the plunge and bought my first Mac. Since I did most of my work from my desktop, a Mac Pro made better sense. My laptop was much more of an after-hours machine that I used from the living room at night, or on when I travel (which isn't that much). I had fallen...

One little project I had taken up recently was to get Thoughtbot's Paperclip plugin working under Merb and DataMapper. Initially, what I wanted to do was to was implement it completely as a DataMapper custom type. Basically, I wanted this as the class definition: class User include DataMapper::Resource...

Probably nothing to really go screaming about, but with wanting to become more publicly active as a developer, part of that involves getting code out there, and also contributing to other projects. At Telligent , we do yearly performance reviews and goal setting as way to grow as a developer in experience...

Not too long ago, some others like James and Rob had mentioned using Google Apps as a way of moving service into the "cloud", so to speak. Google Mail is one that has intrigued me for some time. I have a Gmail account, though rarely use it. I knew Google had Apps For Your Domain, but never took the plunge...

I now have a tumblelog as well: tumblr.invalidlogic.com Or linked in the title as well. I subscribe to a couple people's tumblelogs since they're a great way to get quick little tidbits like links or the latest youtube crazes. I figured I'd start one for the stuff that is kind of in between Twitter and...
