Yay! I’ve made the Mephisto-WordPress conversion and now have one less mongrel process eating up resources on my slice :)
Lovely theme, eh? It’s called Color Paper and it’s FREE from Smashing Magazine.
That is all for now… stay tuned – cool things should start to happen soonish ;)
Very nice. Had to save this one :) Get Your Cyborg Name
And it’s taken me a whole week to write a post that says I suck at this…
Well, maybe I’ll go for more of a tumble log type setup – that way I can be short, sweet and simple.
Then again… how would that be any different from my Twitter account ?
Well, maybe I’ll post soon… maybe not. I make no promises, but I’ll try harder.

Well… after several months of not being able to blog due to random Typo errors, I’ve finally made a transition to Mephisto CMS. It was a surprisingly smooth conversion once I found the proper combination of script hacks. There are still a few problems though, unfortunately. Mainly, that pagination seems to have “disappearred” with the newest release – so please, enjoy my most recent 15 entries until I can make this damn plugin work.
On to the update… It’s been about 5 1/2 months since my last post, I was freelancing then – but now I’ve got a real job – Project Manager at MetaSpring, a marketing, design and development startup studio in Ann Arbor, Michigan. And awesomely enough, I primarily get to work with Rails! We just launched our redesigned website and blog so please check them out and leave a comment!
NOTE: This post was supposed to go up like a month ago, but I’ve been having serious technical difficulties with my blogging software and did not have a chance to fix it all up until now. Update post coming soon, I hope. Here you go…
Hi, how are ya? I’m pretty well. Yeah, I know it’s been a while since you last heard from me, but it’s been a crazy year. I apologize for my absence and promise to remain actively social, at least until grad school…
A rather lengthy update follows the break.
Recent government action has dramatically increased (300-1200%) the fees internet radio companies must pay to play the music you enjoy.
This means that sites like Pandora and Last.fm, as well as many other online radio stations, could be shut down due to bankruptcy.

About a month ago I conducted a couple informational interviews for my Job Search Strategies class.
The first interview was with Robert Dempsey, Project Director of Atlantic Dominion Solutions a Ruby on Rails website and application development firm, and Founder and Director of Rails For All a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of Ruby on Rails to developers and businesses.
My interview with Robert is available in the Interviews section at Rails for All.
The second interview was with Craig Ambrose, a freelance agile web developer specializing in Ruby on Rails. In November, Craig began producing his Freelancing On Rails podcasts which have been a great insight into the world of freelance web development (something I’d like to try full time down the road).
Read on to view my interview with Craig…

Well, I’m really not sure why I didn’t do this a month ago, or why it took me this long to think of it, but my new portfolio site is up at JulieMarie.net.
I built the site with Radiant, a simple, Ruby on Rails based content management system and designed the layout myself.
Check it out! Let me know what you think :)

Well, since I don’t really have a lot of time to write more than one blog post per month, I figured I’d link you all to my Twitter page where I have the chance to post once or twice a day.
You can find me at twitter.com/jewlofthelotus. Add me if you’re a Twitter-er (?), too. :)
I don’t tweet too often and I don’t necessarily tweet about what I am doing. But if I have something meaningful to say in less than 140 characters, I’ll tweet about it.
And so I give in to this Twitter thing.
