About Me
Gotta do what ya gotta do and what I do is..
When I'm not eating Dim Sum or enjoying a nice hot Taro Bubble Tea I'm with my Mac and either working on a Ruby on Rails app or I'm reading something from my massive RSS list. My background is building large database-driven web applications. I love em, dream em, design em and then program em. Mike Scriber and I are working on a few personal projects under the 5ooh flagship and the first project we plan on releasing is a Ruby on Rails specific job/gig board.
My Arsenal
- Blackberry 8830
- 15" Macbook Pro
- OS X Leopard
- Terminal (My best friend on my Mac)
- Textmate (I finally made the switch from Eclipse + RadRails and it's Fan Friggin Tastic!)
- Subversion
- Nginx (The godsend of web servers)
- iPhone 3G (iPhone you ain't got nothing on my Blackberry but you are nice to browse at highspeed while working in the downtown cafes)
Go Ogle Bot.Ca
When I learned way back, back in the day that Googlebot.com was the domain they used for their spider I was like wow that's cool! I felt like I was on a nerdy top secret mission and I wasn't supposed to know about that domain. I went to a whois and checked it out, sure enough it belonged to Google. I then asked myself...hey...what if the .ca is available. Low and behold it was! I snatched it up and forgot about it until recently. February 2008 Go Ogle Bot.ca was born. Go Ogle Bot.ca is my personal virtual playground that I can blow (if needs be) up while testing new server configurations in the wild.
