Wow, when your up at 6AM in the morning studying for a Psychology test and you run into a photo as beautiful as this, you just gotta tell somebody about it. It’s quite euphoric to look at and a great find.

See, browsing the Digg homepage at any hour can have great results.

Mix Podcast Episode 002: February 23, 2009

Wow, I’m enjoying making podcast mixes a lot more than I thought I would. Maybe they will keep coming more than once or twice a month. This episode I have stepped away from the housey, progressive feel of the previous podcast and am focusing on just really good trance music. There are more songs with vocals this episode and a lot of songs I think need to get more recognition. Anyways, I’m trying to come up with a good name for the podcast. Any suggestions?

Enjoy!

Track Listing:

  1. Creeps – Sebastian Sand
  2. Vampire (Feat Carrie Skipper – Gareth Emery’s Garuda Remix) – Myon & Shane 54
  3. Pandora (The Blizzard Remix) – Mike Foyle
  4. Groove Nova (Oliver Smith Tech Remix) – Jaytech
  5. The Gift – Pryda
  6. Fly to Colors (Genix Remix) – Markus Schulz
  7. Nova (Original Rise Mix) – Daniel Kandi
  8. 7 Skies (Cressida Remix) – Kyau & Albert
  9. Anthem (Nic Chagall Remix) – Filo & Peri Feat Eric Lumeire

Why I’m using Skribit

If you haven’t noticed yet I have added a new item in the right sidebar called Skribit. Skribit essentially is a blog topic suggestion application developed by Paul Stamatiou. Paul is a recent graduate of Georgia Tech and is now working on Skribit full time. If you haven’t checked out his blog yet, I’d definitely suggest reading it. Plenty of good inspiration and great posts over there.

I hope to use Skribit as a way to communicate with my readers directly about the topics I write about. I mostly plan on writing tutorials about using CSS and Ruby on Rails to develop web applications and with Skribit now all of my readers will be able to suggest topics for me to write about.

I have moved. And wordpress 2.7.

I have finally dropped my horrid GoDaddy.com hosting and am now proud to be on Media Temple. Having this new host will finally allow me to deploy some of the web projects I’ve been working on.

Also, I have upgraded to WordPress 2.7 and everything should be running smooth. If you notice anything at all please leave a comment to let me know. Also, I have set my server to automatically back itself up to Amazon S3 daily at midnight using a bash shell script and a Cron job. If you are interested in this please check out the great post from Brendan Nee. One issue I had: I had to remove the double quotes used for the location of the key file in order to get s3-bash to recognize the file existed.

Happy new year again!

Happy New Year!

So apparently this year was a second longer than last year because there are just over 365 days in a year. I wanted to take this time to just wish everybody that follows me on twitter a happy new year and to expect much more frequent posts from me this year(as it is one of my new year resolutions). I will be writing some articles about ruby on rails and my recent experiences soon. I hopefully will also be launching a web application my friend and I have been writing sometime this spring. More details to follow shortly on that.

As far as everything else goes, I’m headed back to Pittsburgh in a few days for my spring semester where I will be focusing pretty much full time on computer science now.

Anyways, I will be updating to wordpress 2.7 later today(when I wake up) and hopefully that will go smoothly.

Happy New Year!
