Alan’s Blogometer Has Moved
The blogometer has moved. The URL for my blog is now.
http://blogometer.com/
This is the new URL for the web log of Alan Gutierrez. I’m going to find another place for the my boring technical notes, and use this as a place to record my real career experiences.
I registered the domain name blogometer.com in […]
Bad Blogger! - I’m posting this now, but I’ve got too much to do today. This is my next post. It will be updated throughout the day.
Persona Management
People tell me that they like my blog when I post about New Orleans, but the rest of the stuff, it doesn’t mean anything to them. Sometimes those […]
I’ll be blogging more now that I’m getting out of administration, and back into development. There has been little to discuss since much of what I’ve been doing has been quite rote. It reads rote.
Life Ann Arbor has become unusually livable lately. Perhaps, this is because I’m on my way out of Ann Arbor, or […]
A while back, I said that Interweb would move from joke to parlance. I think it will. I do.
Here’s Accoridan Guy using it, knida jokey, kinda not, in the On the Interweb category of his blog.
The Interweb ®.
Not doing it for me. Same problem as as before. No place for idea capture. This can’t be both a place to record notes on development, and a place to introduce msyelf to other people. In this regard blogging is fundimentally flawed.
Tagging doesn’t fix it either.
There are dozen ideas about Ajax right now, and I […]
Couple days back I posted about how I don’t like Maven, and how I feel that Maven is not good for open source development.
If it’s one thing that I’ve learned in this last month, it’s that different systems have different advantages. Web chat boards loose information, for example, but that only means that people will […]
I’m looking forward to having Think New Orleans running.
The new software is going to be the basis of The Engine Room blog. I’m going to be blogging in the small, to record decisions. Using a blog as a developer’s notebook. Blog entries are not articles, and don’t require a title, or snappy writing.
There are so […]
My Rails plans are as follows…
Install a few Rails applications. Start to use them. Study them. Good candidates include Instiki for an Engine Room Wiki, and Trac or Collaboa. Actually, Instiki is using object prevalence, which is kind of hard for me to swallow.
I’d like a Wiki for the Engine Room. It is much better […]
I have a hard time asking for help on listservs and USENET. I’m not sure why.
I was getting better before I cranked into ThinkNOLA. The XML-DEVers where most helpful with questions about Unicode while I was designing an B+Tree index for Momento.
Otherwise, I get stuck. It’s difficult to ask questions about Java or XSLT because […]
Started debugging my rewrite rules in my httpd.conf. I’m using mod_rewrite for everything, an I am no longer using Alias, or calling ProxyPass directly.
Using Permalinks told about setting AllowOverride, which I’d not done, and as a result, the WordPress admin page that sets the permalink, and generates rewrite rules, did not work correctly.
I’d like to […]
