- Hiya, I think some of the contrast between colours could do with improving. Grey text on a gradient thats grey is a little difficult to read. I also thought the bluish/grey gradient on the top nav looked 'grubby'. You could clean up the whole top nav a little to tie in more with the clean image of the rest of the site. Remove the gray oval shape and the shadow above the nav. |

- I think more customers are choosing technology out of fear than good is and many developers are doing a shoddy job standing up to those fears. Customers fear that a world of risk and hurt will come unless they choose "a standard", like Java, C#, or PHP, and by silently bowing in agreement, developers are selling the customer short. In the advent of highly agile and open source frameworks such as Ruby on Rails (and there are many others), it has never been easier or safer to "experiment" with new technology. Unlike the days of old, it no longer requires an engagement with a vendor and a blind bet on his treasury box of magic tricks. Vendor has turned community and the treasure box has turned transparent. |

- As earlier mentioned, the fine chaps at Combustion Labs invited me to come to Vancouver for a week to introduce their team of PHP programmers to Ruby on Rails. Now considering that all three companies I've done Ruby on Rails consulting for has either already switched or anticipates to switch to the platform, I feel that the pressure is on to keep the winning streak going. And I wonder when the bag of tricks is going to run out, so it won't be possible to dazzle guys like Lars Pind of Collaboraid who noted this after I visited: Watching David demonstrated to me directly, visually, personally, a very productive way of working that broke with a number of traditions we've held for years... So to ease my mind, I'm planning to think of stuff I'd like to do on whatever little spare time I might have. |

- It's been fifty days since our last confession, so it's no wonder that this outpouring is by far the biggest yet in Rails history. It's absolutely packed with goodies ranging from a whole new framework for sending email to the smallest new alias for an existing method. In total we're just shy of 100 additions, changes, tweaks, and fixes. This is also the release with the highest number of contributors. I've counted at least 23 different people with patches in Rails 0. |

- I'm sometimes amazed how, when I write a Newsletter, it sometimes seems very appropriate to a current debate. I just added my latest Newsletter, "The NUB Of Your Marketing Strategy" to my signature yesterday. The previous two posts are extremely rich in ideas. I see behind this a lot of what I call being customer-centric rather than product-driven. However I feel that Saatchi and Saatchi are just finding a way of dressing-up some quite old ideas. |

MPR Radio (Oct 26 2004 11:55 GMT) - Last Friday Minnesota Public Radio did a radio commentary on the race in 25B. Michael Koo came down to New Prague on September 18th for Dozinky Days. He followed me and my opponent as we interacted with the people attending the festival, and also interviewed me. There is real interest in the race in 25B due to the close election in 2002. I told Michael that I thought it was unfortunate that the state DFL party has taken such a negative campaign position...... |
