... doesn’t matter that much to me.

I don’t like what’s going on in it as much as I used to and besides it’s neither the at the top of the evolutionary tree nor does it pay particularly well – so who cares!

“Practice makes perfect”, as the saying goes. Earning a living programming Ruby has been giving me plenty of practice. And, even in this age of googling, I find it very helpful to have good books at hand to refer to. Recently I bought “The Ruby Programming Language” by David Flanagan and Yukihiro Matsumoto, which I’m find to be an excellent reference.

I don’t consider myself a Ruby master yet, but I’m getting there…

wana change the way I think!

oh yeah!!!!!!!!!

Getting a much better understanding of ruby and how it relates to rails with the David Black book: “Ruby For Rails”. Definitely recommend this book.

i like it, reading Agile Web Development and Ruby for Rails currently.

Started creating classes and playing around with coding some more. Will have to think up of more stuff to create.

I’m now using rubytorrent to bittorrent down the latest ubuntu.

I already have windows XP (legally) installed under vmware for my experiments. Now I want ubuntu for comparison.

I’m going to set up ‘canned demos’ of my work in a ready to use state and I’ll be able to set up either windows or linux easily for one-off jobs.

I wanted to use a ruby-flavoured bittorrent so that I get used to ruby. Thing is that bittorrent is a much more sophisticated piece of software than most of the web stuff. I’m going to try to read bits of it…

Good
