Besides, I didn't know it at the time, but what I was really waiting for was an awesome web framework to come along that would make it fun to write my own site. This site is written in Ruby, using a framework called Ruby on Rails. I must give "mad props" (as the kids say these days) to DHH for writing it, and I'd like to thank my friend Ara for never shutting up about ruby. Without Ara's tireless rubyvangelism, this site would probably be a junky php script with database errors on every other click... so thanks guys! I'm afraid that my exposure to Ruby and rails has made me somewhat of a rubyvangelist as well. Of course, I am still living in the belly of the beast (java) at work, so ruby and rails are only a hobby for me. Still, they're fun enough to make me stay up late and neglect my family, which is more than I could ever say for perl or java.
Speaking of staying up late, it's getting late enough that I need to end this post and go to sleep. But before I do, let me ask that, as you peruse guod.net, if you find bugs or have any suggestions for improvements, please drop me a line or post a comment! Later...

January 8th, 2005 at 12:59 PM We rented Bushisms last night and we were baffled by the President's improvisational vocabulary skills! He is not to be "misunderestimated!" Trust me. The DVD was a total waste of time though. It was basically composed of 10 good quotes and an hour of crappy filler.
