My father came two days ago from Lagos. After the ceremonial procedures, I got him to show me the state of the site he was working on and the pictures of Amsterdam - he was there for a few days before he came here. My dad gave me his Sony Cybershot camera and also the domain http://shriphani.com . Hence my blog’s residence is here.
I’ve almost finished my essays etc. I think I will be free to work on my web application after that.
I got a mail from Pavithran S. recently. He says that there will be a mukt.in meeting on the 30th at Osmania University’s Astronomy building and I have to make myself visible there. From what I gather on iLugHyd’s forums, there is a meeting on the 30th as well. And the topic….. Rapid Web Applications with Ruby on Rails !!! This will give me the chance to learn more about Ruby and the Rails framework which seemingly is undergoing drastic changes in the soon-to-be released version 2. I tried ROR myself some time back and found that scaffolds don’t work with rails 1.99. Open source software’s biggest drawback is the lack of backward compatibility. I supposed developers have to take backward compatibility seriously. Entire applications need to be rewritten thanks to these huge changes that are incorporated into the new releases.
Dad has a few problems looking at pdf files on his Treo. Seemingly files over 1 MB in size do not appear in full resolution. I have a solution with me right now and I shall put it here in the next post.
I wrote this post right after I woke up and hence my grammar/spelling/ might not be correct.
