First and foremost - oops, looks like I didn’t get my four posts last week. Oh well. Maybe three a week is more reasonable…or I’m way too fucking lazy. Sheesh.

But on to business. I had planned to add another entry yesterday, but I got sidetracked. On Friday, Al asked me if I would be interested in joining him and Josh for their RailsDay2006 project. Since I hadn’t registered, I ended up not actually writing code, but I did do some extreme programming with Josh, without me actually typing anything. We came up with a half-finished e-mail autoresponder called on_vacation (source will be available soon!).

It’s a pretty nifty app. When we did our last checkin, it was able to check someone’s pop3 account for new messages, ensure that we had not responded to the message, queue a response to be sent, mark that e-mail as autoresponded to, and finally send autoresponses. There was also a frontend with a signup/login thing. We didn’t quite get around to implementing an away message management screen, though.

In other news, I did some web designing today. I’m not entirely sure where I’m headed with this, but have a look: freePets.
