What I Learned Today
I had a heck of a day! I spent the day working out of Carrboro Creative Coworking, which I recommend. I ran into friends there, and knocked out a prototype of an app I've wanted to build for a while.
The cool part is that I used a bunch of technologies I don't normally use. I'm using Haml and Sass, Compass, and MongoDB with MongoMapper. I've had a hate-on for Haml for a while, but I wanted to try Compass, and since I was using that, I thought I might as well try Haml, which is required by Compass. So far, I have lost my hate for it. I'm not up to even strong-like yet, but there's definitely weak-like.
I even made a patch for MongoMapper and sent a pull request. Any day I contribute back to open source is a good day.
