    Besides riding to the top of here, watching these guys win an unwinnable game, and having a crap-ton of fun here, I still managed to code an extraordinary amount. Wrote a Facebook application (I’ll talk about talk about that eventually), came up with a bunch of ideas for other ones (if I feel like spending…

    I’ve been doing developing in CakePHP, which is a pretty awesome rapid development framework, that tries (with 90% success) to give die-hard PHP developers a fast way to build up applications (similar to Ruby on Rails).

    Standing on one leg, Facebook made a couple changes to its API, which is the way other developers (like me) can write programs that Facebook users can use. That’s it. A couple API changes. Removing a couple minor features which were annoying end-users, discussing some future changes. Putting my foot down, I’m left with nothing…

    In a city that already is a little bit too addicted to being connected, it’s nice to know our Mayor is ahead of the curve.

    I’ve made significant progress, to the point I can say that I have a working alpha of Metro Times. To Check DC Metro Times on Your Cell Phone Send a text message to metro [AT] skeevisarts [DOT] com (replace AT and DOT with the appropriate symbols). In the message, include the first few characters of…
