Telecommute day. It's not often that a tutorial article on a web development technology makes you laugh out loud for several seconds, so I say bravo to Paul Adams for his July 15, 2005 Webmonkey piece called "Getting Your Feet Wet With Ruby on Rails" (specifically, page 2). Same goes for why's (poignant) guide to ruby—excellent! Helped another student with mailbox too full problems. Edited press releases from Susie. Helped student HA with problems decoding attachments in pine. Arranged with ITS when they can perform an upgrade on our wireless router. Reviewed a service contract for Lynn P. Participated in an Apple iPod conference call with Tom Jops and Jason Ediger who discussed iTunes U, a new service from Apple which provides free podcast hosting to universities. Minor web updates for Cindy. Stopped work. Bought laundry detergent and rubber feet and chair foot pads at Target while waiting for a table at Elephant Bar. Dinner at Elephant Bar (75 Serramonte Center, Daly City) with Patrick: two half and halfs, I had pan pacific soup with chicken, Patrick had hawaiian chicken luau. We shared a fudge fudge brownie. Our server was Alejandra, who was very slow.
