Your humble and not very consistent author has survived the Christmas Rush and the purchase of our first home with very few social causalities. One of these few has been blogging. SureWest is going to come and hook up my fiber connection on Friday, until then I am at the mercy of places that advertise "Free Wifi" but don't actually have a live connection. (I'm looking at you LaBou Bakery of S.Natomas)

This doesn't mean I haven't been hacking. I have started working with Mongo and MongoMapper both of which are really cool and deserve a post written with out the distraction of a fast food joint. I'm also looking at Redis. These alternatives to SQL databases make the complex data relations found in Antares Trader much easier.

I'm also enjoying learning from the folks at the Sacramento Ruby Meet-up. More will flow from this blog.

Finally, I'm starting on Rails 3 sence I know that it will be the version I will want to which I will port Antares Trader. I thought Merb was great, but it will also be nice to be back in the main stream again.

More will flow from this blog. Hopefully starting Friday
