I’m very late on a bunch of weekly status reports, but I’ve got good reason I promise. This summer has been a bit of a “summer of change” for me. Perhaps more renovation than change. First, I decided I was sick of looking and feeling like crap and got into a weight loss program. I’ve [...]


Phew, it’s been a good week with Bookie. First, we have some new ways to contact and follow Bookie. There’s now a Google Group for better long form discussions and assistance. You have a feature idea, question, or just feedback? Then go ahead and send it to the list. Don’t forget to follow BookieBmarks on [...]


I just finished up reading Start Small, Stay Small and there were some good points in there. One is that writing about your progress on a project each week helps people move forward. There is something about putting down what you’ve accomplished and what you plan into the public that helps keep the motivation motor [...]


Introducing Bookie: only for developers Delicious has been pretty stagnant over the years. I love using Instapaper and really kept waiting for Delicious to add that feature in to my pages I send into Delicious, but it never arrived. I also kept waiting for link checkers, a decent mobile view, and maybe even some support [...]


A long while ago I checked out a Ruby on Rails class that a guy was giving out. I was doing PHP work and this Rails thing had quite the hubub going on about it. So like any good techie I bought the Rails book, the Ruby book, and went work work. A week later [...]


It’s been a fun little bit working on helping speed up a Pylons app at work. Performance needed improvement, and while we knew a couple of big places, I also wanted to look at getting some profiling in place. Fortunately I recently ran across Marius’s post on profiling Pylons applications with Dozer. Now Dozer was [...]


We’re all using ajax these days and one of the simple uses of ajax is to update or add some HTML content to a page. What often happens is that the same data is often display in a url/page of its own. So you might have a url /job/list and then you might want to [...]


I really want to be a unit tester, I really do. Unfortunately it’s one of those things I can’t seem to get going. I start and end up falling short before I get over the initial setup hurdle. Or I get a couple of tests working, but then as I have a hard time trying [...]


Just a quick follow up to my last post on adding the ability to add some tools to help serialize SqlAlchemy instances. I needed to do the reverse. I want to take the POST’d values from a form submission and tack them onto one of my models. So I now also add a fromdict() method [...]


I’m not a month into my new job. I’ve started working for a market research company here locally. Definitely new since I don’t know I’ve ever found myself really reading or talking about ‘market research’ before. In a way it’s a lot like my last job in advertising. You get in and there’s a whole [...]
