Ruby on Rails is growing

Dec 12, 2005 Author: admin | Filed under: Blog, Programming, Web

Seems like Ruby on Rails is becoming a popular programming language these days, in fact, it’s overcoming Python books right now! (ok, so I don’t like Python anyway but still…)
You can catch the news at O’Reilly radar here.

While I was looking at the data, though, I noticed something perhaps more newsworthy: in the same period, Ruby book sales surpassed Python book sales for the first time. Python is up 20% vs. the same period last year, but Ruby is up 1552%! (Perl is down 3%.)

Groovy, in the meantime you can try Ruby.

Tai Chi classes

Dec 7, 2005 Author: admin | Filed under: Blog

I’ve started taking Tai Chi Chuan classes yesterday at a dojo near my work place. So I must say today I feel like i’ve taken quite a beating, I guess mainly from being quite a slacker when it comes to exercise…
But the class was fun and I enjoyed doing all the exercises, let’s see how it goes from here on.

Firefox 1.5 & worthy extensions

Dec 6, 2005 Author: admin | Filed under: Blog, Web

It should be no surprise by now that Firefox has reached version 1.5 and it’s available for download.
Among the updates there should be some speed improvements plus minor bug and security fixes. My only gripe is my favourite skin which lost compatibility, i’m talking about PlasticFox Crystal SVG. *sniff* *sniff*

Anyway, you shouldn’t miss the update and too make things better i’ve found out two great extensions to make your online life easier.
del.icio.us - Firefox Extension and BackPack - Firefox Extension
I love BackPack, it helps me keep my stuff organized, it really is very usefull and this extension is the cherry on top of the cake. Del.ici.ous is fantastic because I don’t have to carry my favourites from work to home and forth.
So happy browsing and please quit IE while you can, you’ll thank me later. :)
