Over at dreamrail.com my dad is putting together a list of 10 things that are just flat out wrong with the world.  It’s a pretty entertaining list so far.  Swing by and take a look.

Just a shot in the dark to see if anyone has heard from an old friend of mine, Mason. We worked together in Austin, TX and I was curious to see if anyone had heard from him, or if they knew how to reach him. He’s an awesome graphic designer, and last I knew was big into Volkswagon’s and Kirby Lane.

Let me know if you’ve seen or heard from him!

Those web app guru’s over at 37Signals recently released “Getting Real: The smarter, faster, easier way to build a successful web application“. It’s a $19 PDF download and a highly recommended read. There are a few sample articles available at the book site, along with “Getting Real” posts on their SVN blog site.

This book could not have been released at a better time. I’m currently working on an organization tools for Personal Trainers, Massage Therapists, Aerobic Instructors, and anyone else who provides Health and Fitness services. I’ve found that by following one of the maxims provided the the 37s, I’ve been able to maintain a great deal of momentum.

Getting Real: SAYING DONE!

This post boils down to not getting bogged down in the details. Make decisions, evaluate feedback, wash, rinse, repeat. Simple to say, hard to do. I’ve been agonizing over a simple calendar system. In particular, recurring events. Here’s the story of the feature:

Say a trainer works out with a client every Monday at 6:00am. The trainer should be able to enter an event and then specify that it is recurring. The event should then be generated in the database. Here’s the rub, how long should it recurr? 1 month, 3 months, 6 months? After trying to figure out how to do this, and fearing a database table of event filling up, I decided to say DONE!

The trainer will specify the recurring period from a drop down that will go up to 1 year. So, the appointment example above will populate in the database and in the system until March 2007, if it were entered today.

I finished the code a few hours ago, and my wife is now using the feature! I could have spent hours trying to figure out some way to be clever, instead the feature is delivered, and I’ll have feedback shortly… How cool is that?

The hits just keep on coming. First Sun, now Apple:

The Ruby on Rails web application framework has built up a tremendous head of steam over the last year. Fueled by some significant benefits and an impressive portfolio of real-world applications already in production, Rails is destined to continue making significant inroads in 2006. Simply put, Ruby on Rails is an open source tool that gives you the advantage of rapidly creating great web applications backed by SQL databases to keep up with the speed of the web. And with the release of Rails 1.0 kicking off the new year, there’s never been a better time to climb aboard.

Check out their article, Using Ruby on Rails for Web Development with Mac OS X, on their developer site.

It’s been a while since I’ve last posted here… Sorry about that, I’ve been programming away on a rails application. I have to say that I love this framework. I am actually having fun programming again. Seems like I’m not the only one that’s caught the train:

From comments section of this site:

Roman Strolb, Sun Microsystems:
Btw, I also like Ruby on Rails… it’s a nice web framework. Yes, I’m a Sun employee and like Ruby on Rails

It pretty cool that a Sun guy would admit this. Now if they would just admit that JSF is crap and move in the Rails direction, the Java world would be a much better place.

Caught this story over on /. yesterday… People are getting into a tisy over Blizzard not allowing people to activly recruit and advertise Gay and Lesbian guilds in the World of Warcraft game. Furthermore Blizzard refuses to allow same sex marriages between players…

While the lines are drawn between “Damn Right!” and “That’s so unfair…”, I think there are some deepers issues here. First of all, sex is not a part of the game, nor does gender play a role in the how the character develops. Furthermore, marriages are not supported for anyone. Male gnomes cannot marry female elves, etc… So the big question for me is… WHY THE HELL DID ANY OF THIS EVER COME UP IN THE FIRST PLACE???

The scary answer is that people are actually projecting their real lives into these games… This is becoming their reality…

The not so scary answer is that these people are simply looking for attention or some other source of validation for their view points. My hunch is that this is the more common case.

Bottom line is, people pay $15 / m to rent space on Blizzard’s servers. If they don’t like the name you choose for a character they can (and will) ban you from playing. It’s their property. If you don’t like it, don’t play their game. It’s not a democracy, and the constitution or declaration of rights do not apply. YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO ANYTHING EXCEPT ACCESS TO THEIR SERVERS when you pay your monthly fee.

It’s a weird world we live in… Not even games can be “fun” anymore. Some fool with an axe to grind must always show up and make an issue out of something that isn’t even possible in an online world… And before anyone posts it, I don’t want to hear about meaningful online relationships… Or “But my online wife and I connected over a mouse and key board…” Give me a break… If you are reading this and are angry, you need to turn off your computer and go outside…

It’s true… REALLY!

This post brought to you by the letter ‘Q’ and the “Less is More” campaign.

A good friend of mine is getting his brains beaten out in a thread over on the server side about the Eclipse vs. Netbeans debate. It seems as though Sun Engineers are hell bent on claiming that Netbeans is a worthy project. Honestly, I’ve looked at it, its cute, but wake up people… Eclipse won that prize fight long ago. Sun is sending in a washed up fighter against the champ of the world… The people have spoken. Quit wasting time with NetBean and give me a reason to stop using Ruby on Rails!! Actully don’t… Rails is too much fun…

It’s funny how the creators of Java have completely missed the boat in the IDE and Web markets, are being completely awful to loyal Java users and then wonder why this thing called Ruby on Rails is eating their lunch…

A few days ago I traded in my beloved Mazda Miata, and got myself a Ford Escape. For those that know me, you’ll understand that this act in and of itself was somewhat traumatic for me. I love that little car. However, a 1/2 hour commute in the winter is not fun when the back wheels are spinning all over the place and you aren’t quite sure if you’ll keep control of the car as you merge onto highway traffic. Hence, the purchase of an SUV.

It turns out that giving up one of my favorite toys would not be the only difficult event of this transaction. My local DMV is absolutly crazy. Here is a quick run through of my hour and a half of fun.

I walk in the door and am immediately greeted and checked in. Within seconds a woman at a terminal calls my name, and I find myself in the door and being helped in under a minute. Promising begining, eh? One minute of hope, 89 minutes of agony.

See, I needed to do two things at the license branch which is apparently a big no no. I needed to transfer my old license plate from my Miata to my Escape AND I needed to get a new license with my new address. My wife and I bought a house 5 months ago and I still had a license with the address to our old apartment. Now the fun begins…

Clerk: Sir, I need something with your new address on it.
Me: The title to my new car has my new address on it, use it.
Clerk: Sorry sir, I can’t use the title. I need something else.
Me: You can’t use the title?
Clerk: No.
Me: Why not? It’s a legal document proving ownership of a vehicle.
Clerk: DMV Policy.
Me: Ok, I really don’t have anything else on me… Wait, here’s my old registration, it has my new address on it.
Clerk: Great, we’ll use that.
Me: Wait. You guys issued me this registration with my new address but have my old address in your computer?
Clerk: Umm… Yeah, it says here that you live in Warsaw…
Me: I moved from Warsaw over 2 years ago, and had an apartment here… That address is currently on my license…
Clerk: Oh.
Me: So you guys have issued me two documents in the past that have two different addresses on them, and neither of these addresses are in your computer system now?
Clerk: Looks like it.
Me: Your system sucks.

Blank stare from the clerk.

Clerk: Ok sir, we have your license ready to go, let’s do your title transfer…

After about 20 minutes of typing away, the clerk calls over her manager and proceeds to explain to her that she has no idea how to a title transfer with their new system. I sat there listening in. 15 m inutes later and more typing.

Clerk: Ok sir, I have this straight now… All we have to do is get your wife added to this title and we are all set. What is her name?
Me: Kristin Ripley
Clerk: We don’t have a Kristin Ripley
Me: Her maiden name is Deible
Clerk: Ah, here she is. We’ll have to change her record before we can continue.

After 20 minutes of typing away, the clerk calls over her manager again and proceeds to explain to her that she has no idea how to change a last name. I am angry now.

Me: Wait. My wife has a new license with her new last name, and she got it here…
Clerk: Ah, I see that right here on my screen.
Me: So why is her name not changed in your system, you issued her a new license?
Clerk: I have no idea.
Me: Your system sucks.

Blank stare from the clerk. 20 minutes later…

Clerk: Ok sir all you have to do is pay…

So I pay…

Clerk: Sir, it looks like you lived in a different county would you like to register to vote?
Me: ARE YOU KIDDING ME! I HAVE LIVED IN THIS COUNTY FOR OVER 2 YEARS! I AM REGISTERED TO VOTE IN THIS COUNTY, I VOTED IN THE LAST ELECTION! IT SAY RIGHT THERE ON YOUR COMPUTER SCREEN THAT I AM ALREADY REGISTERED! YOUR SYSTEM SUCKS!!!!

The manager quickly steps in…

Manger: Here’s your receipt sir, have a nice day.
Me: It’s the middle of the night (7pm), your watch and your system suck!!
