In the Coming Days
So Much to Do
2008-05-27The short story is: Viget is being extremely generous and is paying for me to travel to RailsConf this year. Despite the fact that I have only been in their employ for three whole weeks. I'm extremely happy working there and I only hope that I am living up to their expectations of me.
I am excited to go to RailsConf for two reasons. First, I have never been to a conference before, any conference, and I really expect to learn a lot in the sessions I am enrolled in. Second, I may finally get to meet many of the people I talk to on the irc chat rooms for Merb and DataMapper. People like Yehuda Katz, Ezra Z., Adam French (who I think is going), and a coworker from Viget South, Ben Scofield, who will be speaking, as well. All in all I have extremely high hopes for this trip.
In other news, I've got draft copies of many, many blog posts. The problem is trying to decide where they will be appropriate. Some are about the beta for Dropbox (my favorite service, at the moment), including some nifty tricks. Another post is a followup to Getting Things Done with Mail and iCal combined with a review of the GTD application, Things. On the Viget Extend blog , I've got some ideas for posts on topics ranging from Microsoft Exchange calendar subscriptions in iCal to accessing the LDAP global address list from Address Book.
