No, I Haven’t Posted In A While
Here’s why.
Besides the day job, and chores, and life, I’ve been working on two projects.
The first was a redesign of my strangely high-traffic site, BlogSkins.com. I completely redesigned every single page, and I also added a ton of features. You can read the details here, if you’re so inclined.
The hype around Ruby On Rails had me intrigued, so my second project was to do something with it. What I did was a site called What They Said. The purpose is to be able to see what your congresspeople said about specific topics over time. I’m still tweaking a number of things, specifically how quotes are identified, but it’s pretty well done and it has been a lot of fun. Check it out and tell me what you think.
That’s enough BlogSkins for a little while, aside from maintenance, and What They Said shouldn’t take too much more time. So what’s next? I have a few things on the list — some will be public, and some won’t. And my priorities tend to jump around over time, but I do owe some specific people some things, so that will have to come first.
See you when I’m done.
