  1. New

    September 24, 2008 by james

    My friend Chris challenged me to do a blog based on one word, the word being “New”.

    So here we go.

    • New season for television is finally here, so far all the shows I’m digging are Fringe, and the Mentalist.  Haven’t had any time for any comedies, although my aunt tells me that worst week ever is pretty “effing funny”.  Might have to catch up on that online or something.  My faves that have returned seem to be in good form as well, Heroes,The Shield, House, Prison Break, and Terminator.

    This weekend I went to the Rock The Bells festival this weekend, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with the turn-out, and the acts.  I didnt like the sun so much.

  5. Attack of the Nautilus

    August 1, 2008 by james

    Sup y’all. Quick non programming post.  One of my favorite jazz songs is Nautilus by Bob James.  Its a well known fact that if you’re a producer in hip-hop, one way or another, you’ve sampled this song. The drum breaks are killer, the guitar riff is automatically recognizable.  Anyways, I’ve put a muxtape together that has the original song, and 5 other songs that sample it.  I hope you enjoy.

  6. Ruby On Rails, Tag Soup, Linq Love, and more.

    July 28, 2008 by james

    In another one of my previous jobs, one of our different projects was running on Rails with Ruby, and I don’t know why, but I was always critical/skeptical of Ruby On Rails.  After getting my job at Agencynet and discussing the MVC pattern with my coworker Ben, he started to tell me how great Ruby On Rails was, so I decided that I would take on a new language.

  7. MVC .NET, Ruby on Rails with Windows

    July 25, 2008 by james

    Different design again for the blog, but I’m content with this one, so this will be it for a while. 

    Anyways, this is a quick post, as I’m getting tired but wanted to mention that I’m working with .NET’s new MVC framework, and it’s pretty exciting stuff for me, mainly due to me not using the MVC pattern before, and from what Ive been doing so far, I’m really sad that I’m only just now hearing about/working with it.  I am somewhat concerned that we are still working with a preview build that we may getting bitten by major changes from now to release, but I think it’s definitely worth the risk.

    I’m going to attempt to install Rails,Ruby and a working IDE on my Vista Laptop this weekend so that I can start learning that language, I’m going to document everything I go through and post about it on Sunday or so, I expect a frustrating, yet fun experience with that.

    Also make sure to check out my friend Ben’s blog, its recently redesigned and really dope, designed by another co-worker Chris.

  8. Hi, I’m James.

    July 22, 2008 by james

    What’s up world, this is the first post of my new blog.  I’m going to use this spot to talk about anything that really comes to mind, including, in no particular order:

    • Programming principles, issues i face, and opinions
    • Videogaming,Videogames, and the Videogame industry
    • Music, mostly of the hiphop nature
    • Fashion (rarely)

    Im hoping to change the image above, i was going to attempt something tonight, but couldnt really find the images i was looking for, then pretty much figured it’d look like complete garbage, so i stopped.

    I’m going to try and keep things going around here so feel free to comment on whatever and i hope you enjoy your time here!
