A blog!

It had to happen eventually. I'm one of those web developers who's had an unfinished personal site for... too long, about ten years now I think. My problem is that I don't like putting up sites that look ugly, but at the same time I have next-to-no design skills; so my own sites just go through this endless cycle of getting coded but with only half a design, and then abandoned until I have another half-design idea.

Hopefully what I have now is something that looks just about passable, but is functional enough for me to be able to post random things to. We'll see how it goes.

New Rails documentation site

Lack of a decent manual has always been a big problem for Rails (an API reference is not a manual!) A number of projects have sprung up in the last year or so trying to make up for this, this new one is the best I've seen so far, so hopefully it will gain some traction.
