What’s going on.

A lot of things have happened today so I thought I’d go over what’s up.

Firstly I decided to open source the code for my blog. It’s available from GitHub. The project is called RBlog. You can get all the info to get your own copy from there. I would like to encourage anyone interested to take it and make it your own. I’m actually going to be toning it down a little so that it’s easier to extend. Then I’ll probably branch it off and make a more feature rich version.  Now you’ll notice I’m using WordPress to host this blog. Since I decided to open up my app I feared there may be security risks I haven’t tracked down yet so I’m doing this till I feel a little more comfortable with the stability of the software.

Also I’ve been playing with Heroku and I have to admit that it’s pretty cool. Still seems a little buggy but I think as it stabalizes it will bring a whole new era of mobility to web development. With this service you can work on your application from anywhere you can get an internet connection. Now if this isn’t cool enough you can still work on your app while out of reach by using the service to clone your app using git and then updating everything when you get a connection again. It’s a very impressive service and just pure genius as far as I’m concerned so Kudos to those from Heroku and keep up the good work. I for one am very excited to see what the future holds.

Now I was going to post some more stuff but I’m getting a little tipsy so I better save it for another day. Don’t forget to check out RBlog and I’ld love to hear any feedback you have.
