After hacking away at work for 15+ hours, I am looking at eclipse and I have no idea what I just wrote. But hey, it seems to work…sorta. So yay for that!

Since I graduated college and got a real job, I’ve started to expand my knowledge around the world of investing. I opened up an account at Vanguard and started off with some mutual funds. The problem is I haven’t really put any more money in after that one-time lump sum for opening the account. I need to start making some regular investments through direct deposit or something. Get that dollar-cost averaging to work for me.

After I installed WordPress, the first thing I did was go in search for a WordPress theme. I started off at LifeHacker. After a search for all things wordpressy, I came across a post for 83 Beautiful WordPress Themes You (Probably) Haven’t Seen. After scrolling down a bit, I found Peaceful Rush which is a great match with the title of this blog. So far, I think it’s looking good :)

I have been trying to get a rails app served up by a mongrel cluster through apache. All the documentation I’ve looked at says this can be done with an Apache module mod_proxy_balancer. Looks like my apache install using apt-get does not come with that module. Blah! Guess I have to pull down the source and build from source. Hopefully, I don’t break anything!
