I created a chat room. Because the world needs another very basic chat room. I made it with Node.js, Express, Socket.io, and CoffeeScript.

Because the world needs it, I created another To-Do List – but with super awesome “Pairwise Comparison Technology”. Try it out on the desktop and on your phone. It stores your list locally so you can come back and they’re still there. Was a fun exercise.
I used Backbone.js, Backbone.localStorage, and the Zurb Foundation Framework.

Died laughing when Douglas Crockford called this the dog balls:
(function() {
// some code
})();
Those ending parens are the dog balls just hanging outside. haha.

Sublime Text 2 has Vim key binding through the “Vintage” package. Oh yes! I think I have switched!

The more I learn and understand about the Unix/Linux culture, the more I want to participate in it and to (one day) contribute to it.

Finally PASSED the second course in my Unix/Linux program. I had the zone files right and I was running the named service ok without errors in my log files, but I was not including localhost when I ran nslookup so I was getting “host not found”. Needed to run “nslookup fakezone.net localhost”. But I’m done with that now.
Now I get to move on to Unix services which includes Apache. Stoked.

Just completed my first real deployment to Heroku. Stoked! Was having trouble with switching from SQLite while in development and PosgreSQL in production. Got that tackled. And then got the rake commands and pg commands on a shared database figured out.
So now I have the source posted in a private repo on GitHub and the app working on Heroku. Heroku really is so simple to deploy once you know even a little about what you’re doing.
Stoked.
