This is my personal blog where I like to blog about technology and other interesting stuff in life.
Up until this past weekend, I would have recommended TFS to any development department. I would have mentioned how it is easy to merge and branch. I would have said how useful the built in project alerts were. I would have told you that we have not had to waste hardly any […]
Tonight while checking LinkedIn, I actually clicked an ad!! It is a pretty cool product to help you prototype your user interfaces on a white board. This would have been very useful on the Experimentation Platform we developed awhile ago at work. It’s called GuiMags.
Yesterday I attended Twin Cities Code Camp 4. This was my third code camp. It was probably one of my favorite ones. I went down to the cities with James, Manohar and Jordan. We also met Joel D a former developer where I work. It was kind of nice that […]
I am current working on a project and needed a date picker. I found a pretty decent one called CalendarDateSelect that integrates very nice with Ruby on Rails. It comes with a few themes. All you have to do is include the corresponding style sheet. It is pretty easy to customize […]

It has been one week since the F1 Web Challenge and I think I have finally recovered. It was a very fun event. It was actually longer than 24 hours. I was up for 36 hours!! It was on the U of M campus (St. Paul). There were eight of […]
Today I was trying to figure out how to validate if a user entered a number in a given set. I searched the internet high and low and could only figure out how to validate a range. I actually found the solution in a book, so I thought I would post it.

I found a Ruby on Rails tutorial today that I thought I would share because it was easy to follow and it is targeted for version 2.0.2. This tutorial is a little bit more extensive than ones I have posted in the past. In this tutorial you will use scaffolding. This also includes setting up […]
