Now for something completely different

February 9th, 2007

Here’s something for the weekend. Programmers tend to have strange geeky hobbies, and so have I.

The music is a punk cover version of Monty Python’s “Sir Robin”, performed by members of our live action roleplaying club.

Want to know more? (german)

On the JavaScript side of things, I’ve played around with something very handy for developing JavaScript—I’ll probably post about that this weekend.

Enjoy!

Is JavaScript overrated? (Hurry if you want to know!)

February 5th, 2007

I’ve you want to catch my tutorial on leaving the basics behind and grok some serious JavaScript, you better hurry as RailsConf is more than half sold out and the fastest selling O’Reilly conference.

RailsConf is from May 17 to May 20, 2007 in Open-Source-Mecca Portland, Oregon.

See you! 🙂
