So, in the day job I am having to integrate our custom software with the task management software suite ActiveCollab. Depending on what you are wanting to do, this can be a frustrating experience, or an incredibly frustrating experience.

old/What Habari is, and what it isn’t

So recently I made the offhand tweet that Habari will be the new Rails, and I was only partially joking.

Tomorrow, May 23rd, I will rise from my bed at hopefully a decent hour and greet the day one year older. Tomorrow I turn 32. Kinda crazy.

I feel a certain measure of satisfaction as I begin counting down another year of life. The silver is really starting to show in my hair, but the spring has not yet left my step. Everyday I find new reasons to love life and my place in it. I have accomplished much that I would consider momentous and more than my pedigree would lead one to think possible.
