Labor Day Sale: Free Caturday!
September 02, 2008
This was indeed a good labor day. I spent most of the day mucking about on my computer with various coding things, doing this and that. This. and. That. Oh right, I rewrote my caturday page from scratch for fun today and... what's that? Oh look... Cats.phantomdata.com is already back up for perusal. Not quite as many cats yet, they will get added automatically in short order. Enjoy!
Just like my Twitter comment says, I definitely enjoyed my day of Rails programming again. After all this ASP.NET stuff, its nice to get back to a more modern web-oriented framework with things like ORM, sane routing, database management (migrations really are sexy), out of the box sandboxing (including database) and unobtrusive semantic compliance. Did I mention just how lovely Ruby is to work with? I'm also very pleased with the new'ish RESTful routing that comes with Ruby on Rails 2.0 and got some very nice URI structure going on. Want cat 27 as a raw image? Sure, just call /cats/27.image. Want it for display? Easy, just call it with a standard GET request. RSS will be coming soon too so you can just call /cats.rss.
I'm definitely looking forward to getting to do more Rails work in short order. I've got a couple new app ideas that have been floating around, and will definitely be happy to see coming to fruition
More new kitties have been added to respond to demand..

Cats will be added. I have so many cats that it would cost me an ungodly amount of money if I added them at once. I want tracking. I want impressions. Above all, I want who likes what kitty. That's to come. :)
