A cool introductory tutorial to Ruby. I've been intrigued by Ruby for the longest time since I think that Rails has such great potential as a web applications framework. Of course whether or not we're going to use it for one of our sites is another issue altogether; I'm not being entirely tangential here though (heee).

In other news: It comes a surprise that people are actually reading this blog. Not to be disingenuous or anything, but I've sort of resigned myself to finding some direction content-wise, since when I'm not posting eulogies or pretentious life epiphanies, I am dorking out over dead languages and obscure books and programming syntax, among other things.  Have been advised to find a niche since it's apparently one of the tried-and-tested blogging methods nowadays, but surely there's still some space for miscellany in an increasingly balkanized digital space (which remains hospitable nonetheless).

I don't think anybody's blogged about Filipino tapsis before, have they.  (I may have a problem).

i've been interested in ruby on rails for a while now. haven't actually had the chance to look into it, as have been busy getting (re-)acquainted with PHP during my off hours to keep in touch with the times XD; thanks for that link!

(ps: er... tapsis?)

Tapsilog kiosks? :)

Re: Yeah, Ruby is cool. "Multi-paradigm programming" is a great pick-up line hehe.

I thought Ruby on Rails looked interesting, too! I've been oohing and aahing and reading all sorts of articles about it which I can barely understand!

Of course, I can barely understand WordPress so it's probably not something I can use.

Are you planning on writing a series of reviews of tapsilog kiosks? Because I'd totally follow that!
