Good start to the season for the Falcon’s, start as we mean to go on. I’ll be there in a few weeks time, cheering them on as they take on the Jacksonville Jaguars at the Georgia Dome.

I'm back Aug 13 2006
So the regular visitors to blogs.eldiablo.co.uk (if there are any) will have already noticed the redirects in place to ensure all requests to the blog end up at its new home: www.crazycool.co.uk. This will be the new home for my personal blog, so everything from code, to rants, to observations on life and politics. I quite like the new design I stuck together for the blog, and I’m going to be building on it to eventually include widgets for easy access to archives, searching, recent comments, and my personal blogroll.
The blog software itself is a totally overhauled version of Scrawl, and this time its so customizable I can truly do whatever I want with it. I’m going to be testing this for a while longer now my own blog has gone live with it, then I’m going to be throwing it open to a few select people who can run their own sites hosted using it. Then we’ll see where else it goes :-)
Because of the overhaul, I haven’t blogged much recently. I’m going to try and get back in the swing of things with some more regular blogging, especially now I’ve got a kick-ass site to do it on ;-)
RIDE-ME, one time Aug 13 2006
So, RIDE-ME has hit version one, and I’m proud to say I was able to be a part of it. In fact this is the first release that has some of my work in it, namely the add-in architecture, and the console add-in built on top of that. It’s shaping up pretty nicely now, and recently I’ve been working on a Rails project using RM with almost no problems. I know I’m a bit behind the times blogging about the release, but come on people, please digg it - we are getting plenty of downloads but a spot on the digg.com frontpage wouldn’t go a miss ;-)
Can I Play With Madness Jul 18 2006
Some online fictitious craziness from dotnet funny man Rory Blyth. Was listening to an old DotNetRocks episode featuring him the other day, man he cracks me up.
RIDE-THIS Jul 18 2006
My first real contribution to project RIDE-ME, the add-in architecture, is now in the trunk of the source tree. Check it out, comment, submit patches or let me know feedback. I’m pretty pleased with it, and it should foster some nice add-in development hopefully :-)
Extra, extra, read all about it Jul 15 2006
Hmm, via SvN, Newshutch, a nice looking web based feed aggregator. Might be worth a play.
For all these times, that we walked away Jul 14 2006
Bit of a catch-up here, as it’s been far too long since I blogged:
- England are out, and the World Cup is over.
- I got me SkyHD installed, and it is sw-eeeet. I can now watch HD sporting events, movies, and other assorted goodies (including alsorts of random documentaries, which I’d never usually watch except for the fact that it’s in HD). The box itself is sleek and chic, and bar a couple of random lock-ups last couple of days, has behaved excellently for a first generation piece of equipment. Oh, and the Sky+ PVR system is fantastic, I forgot how much I missed being able to setup entire series to be recorded with a couple of remote clicks.
- I’m wrapping up the add-in architecture for RIDE-ME. I hope to have it in my branch by the end of this weekend, and then merge it over after then to trunk. We can then test the hell out of it, while the other guys start to write whatever add-ins they can dream up. Eventually, in the 1.0 release, it’ll see the light of day, and we hope to build a nice add-in community around it. Oh, and I’m now hosting all of the resources for the RIDE-ME project.
- Did I mention HD? I’m currently watching Die Hard With A Vengeance apparently in HD (didn’t even realise HD cameras were around back in ‘95), and Bruce Willis never looked so good.
- I’ve been having a lot of fun with the object/relation mapping framework I’m working on at the minute, integrating it tightly with the model-view-controller framework I knocked together. It’s starting to come together, and I’ve just implemented associations in queries (read: joins). I’ve got a reason for putting all of this together, and that reason is almost ready for the big-time, so watch this space…
- I’ve ordered a SleepTracker watch, but there’s no stock at the minute so I gotta wait.
- The new Rise Against album is fantastic, along with the latest albums from Billy Talent and Lostprophets, expect reviews soon
- RubyCLR is superb, I think John Lam might be a genius

…is a Digg like clone, centered around .Net content. Useful resource for .Net developers.

Get offensive like Tet Jun 28 2006
Interesting article from Ted Neward, starting with an interesting analogy, segwaying into a brief history of the Vietnam war, and ending up with the crux of the article being about object/relational mapping, the black art of mapping objects to relational database tables. Interesting concepts and ideas, I’m still reading and digesting much of what the article has to say.
While I’m linking like a link-whore this evening, DHH finally blogs about his ActiveResource sweetness committed to the Rails trunk the other day. His post includes the slides from RailsConf, and the entire concept sparks a load of potential ideas off with me.
