Why Ruby is so sexy-awesome, part XXXIV
I use Ruby whenever I can. Not specifically with Rails – Rails extends the language and adds some nifty things, but the beauty is all Ruby’s. Today I was using Ruby (in a Rails app, as it happens), and I … Continue reading
Dotproject strikes again…
I’m sure I’ve bitched about open source plenty of times, but I have to rant once again. Dotproject is my project management application of choice. It does everything I want, and in particular allows for very awesome time estimation which was extremely useful for Bloodsport Colosseum. I was able to break down every task into subtasks and really get a feel for how much effort was left by looking at the accuracy of past estimates.

Phusion Passenger – first impressions
Okay, as I recently mentioned, I’m tired of Mongrel for my Rails apps, so I’m going with Phusion Passenger. The install was actually tremendously more difficult than they claimed, but I attribute that to my own lack of smarts. I … Continue reading
A new day, a new blogging app
Typo seems cool to us Ruby on Rails jerks. Because it’s Ruby on Rails. It has sexy live searching. Um… and like… did I mention it’s Ruby on Rails? So… yeah. After the thing sucking time and again, and eating … Continue reading

If you’re not smart enough to program, don’t write a programming guide
I can’t believe this. Simply amazing. I really can’t. I’m not even sure this is good enough to fall under my usual “Awesome Software Discovery” banner. So I work at a place where we use Ruby and Perl a lot, … Continue reading
AutoIt fans rejoice! New version of myAutToExe available!
As I previously mentioned, I like AutoIT a great deal, but I like decompiling other people’s stuff even better. Just a couple days ago, the genius who brought us the only 3.2.6 decompiler released a new version, 2.2. I haven’t … Continue reading
Another reason Perl is crappy. Really crappy. REALLY REALLY crappy.
I’ve been using Perl professionally for about four years now. I never really loved the language, but I certainly didn’t hate it quite so much before this job. There are many obvious reasons to hate Perl: * The hacked-in OOP … Continue reading
AutoIt Decompiler for v3.2.6+
I’m a huge fan of AutoIt – I think the program is a wonderful tool for administrators as well as casual programmers who just like to mess with stuff. However, I recently discovered that the developer of AutoIt, in an … Continue reading
ActionScript 3.0 (AS3) ToolTip for Flash 9 (CS3) programmers!
I’m learning Flash right now. My next few games are going to be built in Flash in order to help me learn, and then hopefully build a nice PBBG using Flash and a dedicated C++ based network server. Should be … Continue reading
Nerdmaster does something useful…
No, children, this isn’t the unbelievable (and fictitious) story of a bad little nerd who finally finds redemption via some amazingly-selfless act. This is, instead, the true story of me, the very selfish nerd who offers something useful to the … Continue reading
