Man, the more functionality I add to the backend (and I'm not even talking about anything awesome or groundbreaking) the more I hate this layout. To the point where I don't want to try to style the new features because I'm planning on ripping out the design elements and starting again from scratch. This means no tags or comments or images here until then.

Boo.

Well, I was hoping to get a little more user-facing functionality done on the site today but instead I ended up reading a lot about responsive design and getting a little client work in to boot. Played around with Gridset and Typekit some more until I banged out the little progress you see here today. I think it's nice.

I was going to post a little about some interesting (to me) things about ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer but I just remembered that I haven't remotely coded up anything to display code snippets. I'm just using simple_format to display plain text in baby HTML.

Tomorrow.

I'm not sure where to start with this but I'm sure it's time to do so. It's been a long little while since I've had a real personal internet presence. I've been working behind the scenes but nothing to show for myself, of my own.

It's time to change that.

Tomorrow.

Just kidding.

So... In case anyone cares, I'm building the site with Rails [3] using Haml and Sass for the UI bits and RSpec for the testing library. I thought about Sinatra but in the back of my head this site might get a little more full-stacky than I'd prefer using Sinatra. I could come back to regret that later, right?

Tomorrow, I'll swing back around for tags and comments functionality but dinner calls.

Hope to see you soon.
