I have been using Rails longer than I have been using Ubuntu, and only one of them has been longer than a year, so this is a de facto Newbie’s guide, but hopefully you’ll find it useful. After you’re done (and it should take you no more than about 10 minutes), you’ll be able to [...]

For those who don’t speak geek, just stop reading. Moving my typo blog away from TextDrive has been successful. It was just too much trouble trying to survive my encounters with the TextSamurai while running lighttpd there. Typo and lighttpd don’t exactly give me the warm fuzzies any longer.

It’s been exciting for many reasons. First, [...]

Unfortunately for all of us Virginia residents, our Department of Motor Vehicles is bereft of love. The Setup Today’s goal was to transfer the title of the car I’ve been driving for many years into my name. My parents were the previous owners, and they own the car outright. They signed the title over to [...]
