10 Things I've been Doing Lately
- Integrating Ferret, a very nice search engine for Ruby, in a project with acts_as_ferret.
- Learning ten finger typing.
- Writing an article about one of my favorite clothing labels, New Zealand based Huffer, for the magazine of two friends.
- Been hiking though snowy mountains in Norway on my summer holiday.
- Reading "RESTful Web Services" by Leonard Richardson and Sam Ruby. A highly recommended book on REST which I'm starting to like.
- Doing my first real-life project with the features of Java 5. That might sound a little ridiculous, but the clients using Java I worked for over the last year all used Java 1.4, mainly for political reasons or restrictions of the application server environment (WebLogic 8.2 is a no-go with Java 5).
- Finding more and more joy in photography, and at the same time starting to really like Lightroom.
- Playing with AP4R, an asynchronous job processor for Ruby and Rails. It looks like a very nice and more reliable way to do background tasks than BackgrounDRb. The latter now has a new maintainer by the way. Maybe that will bring the mostly stalled development back up to par.
- Working in my office. Something I really enjoy. Having a decent and quiet place to work in is important for a freelancer.
- Looking for a new mobile. In case you're wondering the iPhone doesn't appeal to me.
