Reading directories and outputting results with Ruby on Rails

December 10th, 2008

There is a great article on how to read directories and output their results with Ruby on Rails. If you would like to find out how this works and how to implement check out this website! It explains perfectly on how to do this. This is a great tip because I could never find anything on google that worked properly, but this does!

**The tutorial is here…

Changing tides…

December 4th, 2008

You know, sometimes in life you are dealt a wild card.  And this my friends was a time for me to be dealt that wild card.  My creator gave me the biggest sign of my life and threw it right in my face.  He said “here look, look what is happening! do you believe me now?”.  Well now I believe.  Im just happy to say i’m glad that I took my trip to Utah, because if I didn’t, I would still be blind.  Thank you creator.

Weird post, I know.  But for those of you who know me and know what I am talking about you’ll understand.

On that note, I am single. lol. anyone interested?

Time to make a change

November 10th, 2008

I’ve decided that its time to make a change.  Over the next few months I will be busting my ass to try and gain weight.  Im targeting a goal of 160 lbs;  Right now I weigh 153, so this change should’nt take that long.  Im trying to start small so that way I can accomplish this easily and be satisfied.  That way if i do accomplish this, then maybe i’ll be more motivated to move further and possibly be in the 175 range.  They say it takes 21 days to create a habit, so today is the 1st day of my hulking habit.

I’ll keep posting my results here for my own benefit, cause its not like anyone reads this crap anyways.

Putting for the dough.

Great putting drill

Next time your practicing on the putting green, try this drill, it could save you some strokes!

Grab 2 tees and stick them in the green just on the outsides of your putter head. This creates a gate for your putter. Place a dime on the green and hit some balls to it keeping your putter head within that gate. If you hit one of the tees, you know your swinging either out to in, or in to out. This drill will keep your putter head moving on a consistent path causing you to make more solid contact in the center of your putter. Get a good feel for it, hit about 1000 putts, then go out and have fun on the course!

Batman

July 21st, 2008

batman

I just got done watching the new batman “The Dark Knight”.. it was alright.. it was actually pretty long. There was this dude and his girlfriend that sat right next to me, they both got drunk (i was at Alamo draft house theaters) and they both fell asleep on each other.. they BOTH started snoring hardcore and i couldn’t even enjoy the movie at all. It was freaking ridiculous. Aside from that, Heath Ledger did a fantastic job playing the joker.. poor guy, its too bad he died cause he was a damn good actor!

If anyone reads this, i recommend you see the dark knight, but wait for like another week when its not so packed and you can sit a few seats down from some people that wont disturb. I give the movie 4 out of 5 stars.
