I’ve been keeping a close eye on the typo theme contest, and trying to convice Matt to design one, but alas… the contest has ended and no theme from him. While there are some great ones out there (Matt, you could’ve made a great one!), there are minor discrepancies that prevent me from using a particular theme. Except one. I am partial to Scribbish. It’s consistent. Props to the author.

I’m now anxiously awaiting the results to see who wins the Typo Theme Contest

I’ve always wanted to setup my own CVS repository. Sure, I could set one up at home, but it kind of defeats the purpose of it. I want a remote location for storing my files that is accessibly (safely and securely) from anywheres. Our previous host LiquidWeb did not support hosting CVS for individual accounts. Dreamhost does, though. My main reason to switch to Dreamhost was that they had Rails installed. They sealed the deal with their awesome prices. CVS is so nice, especially when coupled with RadRails a well-made IDE for developing with Ruby on Rails.

Now, onto the topic of this article. A Reanimated Collector Nerd. Some of you may be familiar with a project that I’ve been working on (on and off for a few years now). I haven’t worked on it in about a year until yesterday, where I quickly implemented item comments. So that when a user leaves a comment on someone’s collected item, they receive an email letting them know.

Thanks to Basecamp we now have the most resourceful collaboration software ever. This is going to help everyone compile their ideas into one big “basecamp” Too bad the free version allows on two writeboards (sigh). I’m going to try my hardest on making Collector Nerd (on Rails) a reality! I want this to happen. Bad.
