Programming Goals: January-March
Jan 7th
Wherein I describe some goals I’m setting for myself for the next few months.
AT&T iPhone 3G versus Verizon Blackberry Curve
Dec 21st
Herein I compare my shiny new iPhone 3G to my tired old Blackberry Curve.
Google Chrome 0.2
Sep 12th
There’s nothing to hate and plenty to like about the 0.2 release of Google Chrome. It’s blazing fast, but doesn’t have the extendability and extension ecosystem that Firefox has.
Redmine and Passenger bugfix
Aug 11th
Redmine+Passenger has issues with RedCloth 4.x so use 3.0.4 or the included version instead.
Passenger and RubyEnt updates
Aug 11th
My webserver is now running Phusion Passenger 2.0.3 for Ruby/Rails apps using Ruby Enterprise Edition 1.8.6-20080810. This greatly simplifies application deployment and helps improve performance and memory usage.

Another successful Passenger deployment
Jun 25th
This morning, as a result of a hardware failure on my home server, I decided to move my Redmine devtracker to my Linode host.
