“...I've been working since 2008 with Ruby / Ruby on Rails, love a bit of Elixir / Phoenix and learning Rust. I also poke through other people's code and make PRs for OpenSource Ruby projects that sometimes make it...”

In The Lab

The Lab is a place to test out stuff in a live Rails (now 7) application. This is basically the equivalent of scribbles and notes that pile up on my desk.

Gems

Working on a number of Ruby gems so I don't have to write the same code for nearly every project I work on.

  • faker-gpk - Faker extension for Garbage Pail Kids
  • interactor-stopwatch - a miniature Interactor extension that is watching the clock.
  • m3ta - versatile meta tags for Rails
  • ouroboros - Ouroboros is an experimental implementation of an infinite circular Array. An Array eating it's own tail.

Tools

  • Copenhagen Map - Looking for a house and the usual suspects don't support our search criteria.

PRs

I do contribute to OpenSource, sometimes they get merged sometimes not.

Platformer Game w/DragonRuby

I like platform games, and have recently starting building out a kitchen sink of things a Platform game needs to support all the sort of puzzles I like.

A book on how to create a Platformer Game w/DragonRuby

What if I wrote this down and shared this with people, what kind of world would that look like?

From Rails To Ruins

A book on how to dismantle the Rails framework to a pile of dust.

A Non-Fiction book about terrible things

I had an idea for a movie that I won't ever film. So I'll just write it down instead.
