speak at a conference
RubyConf 2006 2 years ago

Last weekend at RubyConf 2006, I was lucky enough to give a lightning talk in front of the entire conference… then that evening, some folks had arranged RejectConf, an opportunity for those people who got their talks rejected by the main conference to talk anyway.

It’s a hell of an experience talking about a topic in front of people who are gathered for exactly that topic. Intimidating to be sure, but exhilarating too.

Get a job where I can code in Rails all day
Worth it! 3 years ago

Since I added this entry, I’ve discovered that what I really meant was “Get a job where I can code in Ruby all day”. As of a few weeks ago, I’ve done this, and believe me, it’s worth it.

Write a rails app in 24 hours
Railsday 2005, baby 4 years ago

Like a bunch of others, I participated in Railsday and managed to get a full app done in about 18 hours of coding (I’m weak, I slept).

Shameless plug of demo site: http://tat.bleything.net!
