@IILWY - I am up for that! I’m not very good at blockles (Neil thrashed me last time), but I’ll give it a go.
@iPhone - I can’t believe how cheap they are, in the UK we basically get £150 off, for the same contract, and same term length (18 months). However £60 will go towards my MobileMe subscription, which I think is going to be pretty impressive, all I want is the syncing, however it will be good to use the apps for inspiration.
@EntreList - Maybe we should only stick a few select tags, wipe what’s currently there, and just make sure we only use tags that are going to be used often. E.g: EntreList, External (for twitter, facebook, IILWY, etc), Wakoopa, TheWineGod, VoiceTracker. Obviously the list would be added to as we start new and exciting projects. I have a few more ideas, but will think them over before plurking them out (sounds like an appropriate phrase!) on Entrelist.
Speaking of which, I’ll just give a short run down of what I am up to at the moment. ThinkRefresh is coming along nicely, I am working on a series called Rails 101, for beginning Rails development, however there will be a lot of non-Rails Ruby content. My boss is going on a trip abroad next week to source wine for TheWineGod, and I will be beginning the e-commerce system.
I have been making a central account manager for use within a set of applications (CMS, e-commerce, issue tracking, client login etc), and in doing so I decided to port out the authentication as a plugin for Rails called Authenticaterb (http://github.com/ryantownsend/authenticaterb) which is also coming along great. I’ll soon be releasing another plugin aimed at easy to implement spam filtering.
Have to look into my current subscription, because it’s with a different carrier than the one Apple made an exclusive deal with.
just share your thoughts! For instance: Coen, why don’t you tell us a bit about your PhD. in AI, Mark, why not share your startup idea, Taede, why not talk about your experience of being in a startup? I’m sure everybody is curious to hear it, guys
