Open Source on Launchpad

A synergistic moment if there ever was one.

I love my OS. I don’t dislike my XP. It’s been good to me (and continues to be) but i *really* enjoy working on my ubuntu. And i’m still discovering things about it, which is half the fun right there. And as a result, i was introduced to launchpad.

And i really enjoy working on launchpad. I don’t dislike sourceforge. It’s been good to (and continues to be) but i *really* enjoy working on launchpad. And i’m still discovering things about it, which is half the fun right there. (Codeplex hasn’t really shaken my boots much in any form or manner yet).

I love programming. I don’t dislike .NET. It’s been good to (and continues to be) but i *really* enjoy working with Ruby, and in particular, with Rails. And i’m still discovering things about it, which is half the fun right there. And in all my discovery and learning, it was about time to bring the 3 together, in a practical way which helps me be more productive, first and foremost in keeping a tab on my new adventure as an entrepreneur.

Introducing… timesheet. Nothing new, nothing too fancy. It’s Rails, developed on ubuntu, using *nix editors and IDEs where i could scour them, and hosted on launchpad. It works, it’s functional (and i can even port it sans changes to my XP environment) and readily available. Probably has enough bugs (certainly more roadmap expected) to keep me busy exploring features in launchpad, but at least it looks marginally better than my excel spreadsheet (lol)
