Finally, some long overdue updates here.
The old theme here was way beyond tired - I’m now using Derek’s wonderfully clean theme. I think I broke the feed for a little bit there, but it should be back up and properly redirecting to feed burner.
I also got rid of the www, so robsanheim.com is officially […]
BrainBuster is a logic captcha plugin for Ruby on Rails. The 0.7 release has been completely overhauled to have a much less obtrusive approach using only filters, instead of requiring code changes to actions. It also features enhanced security, tests (!), and overall goodness.
If you are upgrading, PLEASE see the readme - the […]

Jim and I leave here in about six hours to try and beat the rush hour traffic to Chicago for Rails Conf. I should probalby try to get some sleep. I’ll try to cover the event for Ajaxian, tho I’m not sure how much true ajax related content there will be. I […]
Been doing a lot of PHP in anger the past two weeks. Its not the cleanest language, but you can definitely get stuff done quickly with it. I’ve been getting used to the Wordpress source, and lots of plugins and hacks built on top of it. Its pretty much at the oppositie […]
