River – Amazon Wishlist Gem

Posted on October 30, 2009November 1, 2021

One more post on Amazon Wishlist code. As another follow up to my post on Amazon Wishlist RSS, Ruby and Signing/Authenticating your Requests and the site I built to run the code My Amazon Feeds (post here) I’ve created a gem to contain all the code. Get it by running sudo gem install river </pre>…

Heroku

Posted on October 30, 2009October 25, 2021

I’ve watched Heroku for a while. I’ve even tried to deploy an app there a few times, but never got into it that much. I needed a cheap (free) place to put My Amazon Feeds.com. It’s just a utility site. It’s not meant to scale or be production worthy. Instead it’s meant to show off…

Social Network Dilution

Posted on October 27, 2009November 1, 2021

My wife thinks it’s funny that I never check Facebook anymore. I got her into it and now she checks it daily. I got my account way back when you still had to have a .edu email address to get an account. It was worthless for a while because no one else I knew had…

Justin and Joel’s Epic Mountain Bike Adventure

Posted on October 15, 2009November 1, 2021

So today I and Joel decide to go ride mountain bikes. I’ve been stuck in the house all week writing code because I’m to big of a wimp to go ride in the rain. He talks me into a ride from Latheom’s Hollow over into Millville canyon and back to his place. He tells me…
