Congratulations to the Washington Redskins as they finish the season with a bang and make it into the playoffs. It has been an especially emotional season for us die hard and the wanna be fans alike. Good luck in the post season. R.I.P. #21

New site

Posted by mjwall on December 30, 2007

Well, nothing like waiting until the last minute. My personal weblog has been down for over a year. One of my 2007 new year resolutions was get it back up. Here goes.

Over the past year or so, I have been doing mostly Ruby on Rails work, both personally and professionally. I had to find another job about 3 months ago, and I was dreading having to go back to Java. RoR is just so much fun. I wanted to set my new weblog with RoR and looked at both Typo and Mephisto as well as few others. Why did I choose Typo? I think it was after listening to Stuart Halloway’s podcast. So far so good. I have to say, I am surprised by how easy it was to get set up and going. Much different than my experience with drupal 6 years ago. Surely I know more now, but I am still surprised. I’ll post more info about the set in the about page

I plan to blog mostly about technology, things I find interesting and things I learn. Maybe someone will find it useful.

Thanks for stopping by.
