Plans on Two New URL Shortening Sites
Recently I bought the domains, lolz.ws and lulz.ws. What am I going to do with them is make them URL Shortening sites.
Imagine linking to something funny on Twitter, Facebook, or to a friend using lolz.ws: http://lolz.ws/alias
Imagine linking to something you are doing the lulz for using lulz.ws: http://lulz.ws/alias
Of course it will be possible to use both URLs for just about anything. It will be a while before I get these sites up.
Ruby on Rails Sucks? I Don't Think So
I have been playing around with Ruby on Rails for a while. You know how to program and know the commands for it, you’ll think it’s cool. Ruby on Rails is a MVC framework for the language Ruby. MVC stands for Model-View-Controller. The model is the database logic, the controller is the application logic, and the view is the presentation logic. Using this style, it keeps things organized.
People will think Ruby on Rails suck because they don’t know how to catch on to it. I admit, I was originally one of them, until I read Agile Web Development with Rails, Third Edition (Amazon). This book showed me how powerful this framework was and how much it was capable of doing. Doing validations is a breeze, embedding variables and Ruby code is a breeze in the views, routes are easy to configure (no .htaccess), database migrations to keep things in order, ActiveRecord to ease querying, updating, and inserting (no more SQL queries), and there’s so many other cool things with it. There is even loads of plugins on the Internet and on Github that do kickass things.
