How I did it
How to write an ebook
It took me
30 days
It made me
Great!

How I did it: I did some research on how to write an e-book, picked a subject matter that I liked to write about, then set to it.Friends of mine did some free proofreading for me, and I used a 30-day trial version of Adobe InDesign to create the layout.When I was done, I put the put online, and decided to publish it totally free.

How to learn Ruby and Ruby on Rails
It took me

If you’d like to know more, please visit getonabudget.com.

Thanks and good luck!

get an ebook reader
Untitled 13 months ago

I’d love to get an eBook reader. It’s a shame that they’re all either too ugly, too expensive, or to locked down with formats. I read primarily PDF eBooks now (much cheaper) and need to find a good eBook reader that handles PDFs.

run a 5k
rumblestrut 17 months ago

I ran my first 5K this weekend. I wrote about it on my personal blog if you’d like to read more (rather than duplicating my copy).

I wholeheartedly agree this was worth it. I”m not exactly a skinny guy, but I made it.
