This is old news, but I’m unemployed at the moment. It’s kind of a big deal for other people since I look like I’m job-hopping, but the reasons are perfectly valid. Anyway, all I’ve been doing during the past few weeks are going to events, meeting people, and finding a job.

I have recently transferred to a new job. I am now working as a Ruby on Rails developer for TwitMusic. Before I go on about promoting my new employer (which I won’t do for the sake of this article), I would like to point out that I am being trained for the position before I get involved with the production code.

One of the benefits that you get from GAE is that your web application gets to be hosted by the same servers that power Google....

After a long time of reading and thinking, I realized that I’m having problems because I didn’t embrace the sudden transition I had with annotations. Since I’m the kind of person who embraces change, I decided to stop whining and use the auto wiring feature instead....
