The Weekend Report #4
Still taking it easy from my back spasming out last month. It's put a lot of things on hold but I'm getting back to normal. As a result there wasn't much to report from this past weekend. It wasn't completely uneventful though.
My mum and dad celebrated their Ruby wedding anniversary with a meal at our favourite Italian restaurant in Paisley.
Little Drew had been suffering from a cold and cough in the last few days but he rallied round for the meal. He'll do anything to get some chips and ketchup!
Started work this week on a Rails app I last worked on a few years ago. #learningdeveloper

Saying Goodbye to Evernote
Ian Dick writes about his farewell to Evernote.
This year though a couple of things changed. Firstly Evernote tweaked there prices so I’d be paying more going forward. Secondly, Apple Notes improved and also offered a way to import Evernote content as did Microsofts Onenote. There also seemed to be a lot of grumbles in the many podcasts I listen to about what Evernote had become and how viable was it’s future.
Evernote's proprietary format has been a reason why I don't Evernote. It's easy to get stuff in but hard to get it back out. I tried Apple Notes for a while but it's Simplenote that gets my award for best notes app.

Forgot how great the sunspot gem is for interacting with the Solr search engine. Great DSL and actively maintained.
First thing I noticed was all the instances of poor code I had written. Bad design, object naming, syntax use etc. #learningdeveloper
Need some music to work too?
The 50 best film scores have been compiled over at the Playlist and feature scores from movies such as The Dark Knight, Solaris and the Ocean's trilogy.
A few gems in here that I'll be adding to my own playlists.
