So it's April, and you Know what that Means!

Counting down the release of Jaunty Jackalope, Ubuntu 9.04!
hehehe!

so, i'm writing a few apps right now, right, mostly focused on one webapp (top secret at this time), but also dabbling in something i've always wanted to do, write a cli to take some of the mystery out of sshing into a client computer. so far, so good. I might even push it to github, just for giggles. I don't think it's really useful, but it has been fun to say the least.

so far I've written the menu and a validation block for the menu. hey it's a start. now I've got to store data in a file that the compy can read. Me being a rails guy, you'd think I'd use a database, but this is a highschool type of project, and I'll solve it using a highschool type solution, text values using csv's!
awexome!
It's Pascal all over again!

Beware your editor!

So,
I have a new jorb! Doing Ruby on Rails work even! I quash bugs and recently had a little editor snafu that I didn't catch right away. You probably already know this, but don't make my mistakes.

Usually, when it comes to text editing I use Geany on Linux. It's a nifty little design, and it's pretty simple to add snippets and what not. Sometimes though, when I'm tired and not thinking straight, I'll use good ol gedit. Hey, it comes with Ubuntu, does some pretty good syntax highlighting, and I don't think it's bad, it just does some default actions I don't like. The dang thing automagically backs up whatever file you are using! That's not a bad thing when you are doing something in say the /etc/ or /boot/ directory, but when you are using git to manage source code on a rails application, and you accidentally gedit your config/database.yml file, you can quite easily add commit and push your automagickally generated config/database.yml~ file containing your topsekrit mysql passwd for all your team to see!

I know I did!
what a n00b/dweeb...
