Yesterday I started looking at Rails and it looks good, very good. I see and catch a glimpse of its power and its features and I’m feeling good. Don’t like hype so much but the product itself is cool 
What can I say? Got through Four Days On Rails tutorial and altough I’ve found some things that I don’t like too much I enjoyed reading it
Ruby HTML/eRuby reminds me ASP3/PHP/PSP and so on, I prefer something like Cheetah and scaffold didn’t impress me much, but seems ok for little apps.
I admit that my post isn’t enthusiastic as others but I like this “stuff” and now I want to try writing a test app from scratch (speaking about “from scratch” in Rails could make you smile but that’s it…)
See you on irc.freenode.net/#rubyonrails (I’m rhymes)

So I dug around because I thought that the only way was to write a custom widget, but I immediately found a problem: there’s no documentation on writing custom widgets with PyGTK except for this: widget.py (in the pygtk cvs repository). Looking here and there I found myself in the GTK+ cvs repository reading this and this… but there was nothing there for me

Since I’ve decided to host all my stuff in one place I’ve started switching my old blog to my new domain: http://www.oluyede.org. The host is on classic LAMP (Debian + PHP + MySQL) and so I chose Wordpress as blogging tool. It’s wonderful. I also imported the old archives and spent some (too much) time to categorize them.
