Newsflash July 17th, 2008
Playing catchup a bit, things have been hectic since the California move. Seems about time for a quick updated.
I am now a software engineer for Plinky, Inc. I am pretty excited about the position and what we are working on, but I can't say much more than that at present.
Unfortunately, for now, feedish has been put on the back burner while I reevaluate my approach.
Fortunately, I've become the de facto maintainer of the couchdb adapter for the DataMapper Ruby ORM. There is still plenty of work left there, but I'm pleased to be making advances quite regularly.
I have a couple other projects in mind/in the works, but nothing I can really show at the moment. Just thought is was about time to make a 'proof of life' post.
Not dead! September 25th, 2007
I've been extraordinarily busy with various ventures, but it seems like about time to check and and start posting a bit more regularly about what I'm working on.
Most notably my main gig with ImThere continues to go really well for everyone involved. We just pushed some updates over the course of the last week and the boss wrote an article about how we got to where we are that landed us on vitamin. I was glad to help out editing it and helping push out a number of the updates to get us there.
I am also continuing to work on my own projects and my attempt at a feed aggregator(I am calling it feedish) is really coming along. Still a number of things I need to figure out how I want to approach, but the main functionality is there. I'll post more about what I have cooked up there. I think it will be a breath of fresh air in what seems like an area that is rather lacking in innovation. More as I figure it out.
Reemployment August 10th, 2007
I have been busy, and hence quiet lately.
I was hired by Ramped Media to work on imthere.com. We are rolling out all kinds of new features and I think it is going to be a really great site. Really exciting time to be joining them, and its keeping me pretty busy, hence the recent silence.
In other news, some users were kind enough to point out some bugs in the user-owned tagging portions of acts_as_taggable_redux. I think they have all been smoothed out, so it is hopefully an even more complete and robust tagging solution than before. As per usual if issues come up, email me and I'll sort them out. Thanks.
