Updates
I’ve haven’t posted for quite a while. Here’s what I’ve been upto for the past few months:
- Started working with merb + activerecord for a major project - no need to abandon ruby for django now … unless I need django-admin. My primary reason for choosing merb was its loosely coupled architecture (read: freedom of choice). I also choose to stick with AR until DM is stable enough for production use.
- Started working with git, which has been a good experience so far.
- Abandoned Gentoo Linux, though I still have a soft spot for it. What I don’t have is the time or energy to manage it. Thank you, Gentoo, for a proper linux education, but now I just need a Desktop with a low maintenance overhead. Installing Ubuntu 8.04 on my desktop and laptop was a sobering reminder of how far Desktop Linux has come.
- Reading - various stuff. One standout book that I recommend is Black Swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb., an accessible rant about randomness and uncertainty in the real world.

Hey,
Thanks for using Merb. We’re working hard to make it work well for people like you who consider a good architecture an important part of the decision about a framework.
Let us know if you run into any problems.
