Last week I spoke of the virtues of using Ruby on Rails. If you are in the web development biz it's hard not to like a programming environment that doesn't make your life simple. For me, the closest comparison I can make is Coldfusion. If you've programmed in CF then you know it's closer to scripting then high level coding. Rails is the real deal, plus you get access to all the Ruby libraries to see how things are done.
The book I was refering to was not a ruby book but a book on PHP and MySQL programming. "PHP5 and MySQL from Novice to Professional", but I'm no novice.
As for the house, we've been getting a lot of interest from agents and buyers. I'm trying to renovate the guest bathroom and kitchen. Patch the leaks and rotted stones. And when its all done...and sold I'll be extremely pleased.
My french observation this week: They have a thing for cheese, not any cheese but really stinky cheese. Kamala's papa brought some cheese over and I spent days scrubbing and tearing apart the cabinets in the kitchen trying to find what died in there. It was that strong and that bad. I stick to emmental and italian. Nice and savory for me.
