Working Out
So I have started doing a Bootcamp through work… it really really sucks. It is kicking my butt and it feels good.
I am thinking that I should have Sherry do this with me.
Koders purchased
So for those of you that have not heard, I am working at a great new company called Hashrocket, based out at the beach. More on that later, but I wanted to also fill you in that my old company has been purchased by Black Duck as of last week.
I keep tabs on the news reports that are coming out about it, and this is the closest thing I have to a mention in them:
But Levin says Koders’ three employees, including Rush, will be retained on a consulting basis, and will continue to work from their current location in Santa Monica.
Check out the full article at Xconomy.
The move actually makes a lot of sense, as Black Duck offers larger companies insight into their open source usage, and Koders obviously knows a thing or two about that industry.
LOVDbyLESS: Open-source software for building social nets
Bloggers have wordpress, mephesto, typo and other open source solutions. Yet there isn’t an open source social network platform, until now. Built with Ruby on Rails this open source project has all the basic features you will need to setup a basic social network.
Mac Tips
I just bought my first mac (MacBook Pro 15″ with souped up HDD) and am going to have a transition period where I learn how to use the mac versus a PC. So I have decided to start blogging tips I learned.
So here is tip #1:
– to delete to the right of the cursor (on the laptop), hold down the function key while hitting delete
– to delete to the left until the beginning of a word, hold down the ctrl key
– to delete to the left until the beginning of the line, hold down the command (apple) key.
