I am in the process of redesigning my blog. The default WordPress theme is nice and all but Charlie and Catherine have shamed me into doing something less mundane. One of the things that had bothered me was my blog roll. It was out-of-date because WordPress’s default way of handling links make it pretty painful [...]
TonicVia [Sam Buchanan](http://afongen.com/blog/) is a very promising RESTful web application framework for PHP. If you are doing web development in PHP I definitely suggest you take a closer look. I am always interested in how RESTful behaviors are implemented, regardless of the language and environment used so I went and had a little peek at [...]

Being relatively new to CSS I recently attempted to layout a page with a sidebar to the left of the main content using only CSS. I spent several hours [...]

After working with it for several months I have reached conclusion that it is not the paradigm shifting framework I had hoped for. Rather, it is just an incremental, [...]
I haven’t written much about Ruby lately. That is mostly because the piece of software I am working on is written in Java, with a little PHP on the side. I do write Ruby code, though mostly in the form of small scripts. In the last few months, I have started using Ruby in places [...]
