Whether its the winter months or just being busy the blog and me went into hibernation for a while. Besides realising I turn more Mancunian when under the influence of alcohol I have little to report.

Oh actually – yes I have.

I have a new personal project I am working on. A ‘pet’ project. One similar to the “Chavscum” site – a social phenomena more familiar to the British readers of the blog. Although so as to not leave out our American…’friends’ a “chav” is roughly equivalent to “trailer trash”.

Cultural Virus

Although my new site will have a greater international appeal due to this sub-culture being particularly ‘virulent’. It will run aloing the same lines though but using some of Rails unique little strengths to make it nice and smooth in operation. With nifty features allowing for more user interaction.

Web Templates

I won’t go into too much detail but basic image uploading and commenting have been implemented. Along with me re-learning RJS templates. My previous stumbling block to all og this was design – I’m hopelessly inept at design. This time I ’stole’ my template from the OSWD. Well worth a look if your like me and can’t design to save your life.

New Sub Blog

I have no idea what I’m going to do with it nor what its content will be, but after many, many failed attempts to transfer my blog to a Typo powered one it failed. I even attempted….nevermind. I don’t want to highlight my own lack of patience and inadequacy. I have a new blog I’ll post other more personal things on and as such will have more regular postings.
