Way too busy

So I’ve been very lax in posting. I’m very busy lately with rock climbing and work and other social things.

I have so many things to talk about like the awesomeness of OS X Server, MCX, LDAP and other nifty things. I haven’t been doing much Ruby development lately since I have other priorities. Reve is moved over to github.

Moving away from SVN

I will no longer be updating svn here at crudvision.com. I want to move Reve to git (at github). I won’t do it if I can fall back to svn, so I’m jumping ship.

Moving to github will also mean I can dump dreamhost as a host and move crudvision.com to my colocated machine to save money each month.

I’m sorry for the complete void in posting. I’ve been very busy with life, work and rock climbing. Yes, that’s right, rock climbing.

In early March I started a new job in Toronto for a gaming company (I’m not really allowed to talk about it much, unfortunately). I’m a sysadmin there and I love it. It’s much better than developing the same web applications over and over. I’m almost ready to resume programming for a hobby now that I don’t do it all day every day for pay.

And the rock climbing. My partner and I started climbing recently. We’ve noticed an unusual number of IT professionals that climb! It’s cool and odd at the same time.

I hope to post more, but the real goal of the post is to say that I’m ditching subversion, trac and intend to use github as the only source of documentation for Reve. (I just hope I can get traffic from github to this blog to pad my ego.)

A quick post

This is just a quick post to say that my life has become quite hectic as my spouse recently died. I’m also planning to move back to North America…

I haven’t had much time to wrap my head around my newest Reve ticket/bug report. Once things settle down again I’ll be able to get back into posting and making Reve better.

And so it begins

My name is Lisa Seelye and I’m a Ruby on Rails developer. That is to say I use Rails in my hobbies as well as professionally. I’ve been using it since May 2006 and have loved it since.

Prior to using Ruby and Rails I came from a PHP background (the astute observer will note that my site uses PHP) and before that Perl.

I live in the United Kingdom (by way of the United States) and work in Leeds, England. I love my job and the chance to use Rails is really nifty!

So yeah… I’m hoping to use this space to write about Ruby, Rails and other things.

The name of this domain name is shamelessly stolen from DHH’s keynote from Railsconf 2006. I happen to appreciate the CRUD way and REST so I appreciate David’s ”crudvision”.

Hello, World.
