Mobile and Android

Really think that Android has a shot at opening up the last (until we find another one..:)) closed computing frontier. Mobile computing. Unleash developers and the great ideas and code will flow. Verizon's announcement that they will be opening their network is a great sign. Will see if they follow through.

So I am digging into Android AWS (Aas We Speak). Trying to come up with an idea for an app that will exercise most of the capabilities and get me some hard/valuable experience.

Catching Up!

Been a looooong time. Lots of changes.
Commute...I work in Maryland now. No more 1-1.5 hour treks down the I270 to Virginia.
35 minutes door-to-door...SWEET!

Work...no more managing. I am a Rails grunt now. Trying to get the team to embrace writing automated tests for their code. Putting together a Continuous Integration (CI) capability. As of today we are automatically runing rake test:units whenever SVN based repository changes. I have Selenium based (HTML) tests running most of the app. Trying to get them into the CI suite.

Language...Ruby on Rails. I do most of the front end stuff. Lots of Prototype and Scriptaculous.
