Resisting Gumption Traps Since 1995

I am pleased to announce the 0.1 release of Gaegene, a collection of general purpose models, utilities, and mix-in classes to help develop Google App Engine web apps. It was created while developing Giftag for Best Buy.
The 0.1 release contains two modular apps to help simplify two common design patterns, counters and slugs. Future releases will also help with images, pagination, and tagging.
The project’s main repository and wiki, as well as a test/example webapp are hosted on bitbucket.org.

When I was in college, I used to look at the kids who took the compiler theory classes and loved to work in assembler and think to myself, “Thank goodness you like that stuff. Now I can concentrate on solving real problems with C.”
Now I realize that I’m starting to look at C programmers the same way. “Thank goodness you like that stuff. Now I can concentrate on solving real problems with Python.”
I guess I’m just a “top of the stack” kind of guy. Shoulders of giants and all that.

Would you like me to provide you with a weekly mix of music rarities from my collection?

Yeah, it’s just a little different than the previous theme, but I like the clean look. Plus, I was finally able to use my POVRay “skills” for the header image.
And just in case you were curious, WordPress 2.5 rocks!

It’s been a while since my last post. Actually, I think I made my last post while sitting in a house boat in Amsterdam. Right now I’m sitting in the Saturn dealership waiting for an oil change.
Just a little less cool.
But now I’m about to embark on the upgrade to WordPress 2.5 and figured that’s as good a time as any to get back into blogging gumption. So, please pardon the mess while I try out some new themes and plugins.
Hopefully more interesting posts will follow.
