Updated EmptyOrchestra to revision 72.  This contains a number of bug fixes and feature enhancements including:

FindMyRentals

Sunday, August 9th in Projects

FindMyRentals I’ve been playing around a bit with Google’s AppEngine.  So far I’ve enjoyed working with the setup, and though there are some idiosyncrasies, it still manages to take a bit of the complication out of developing and deploying an AJAXy web app. So, if you are looking for a place to rent in a currently limited […]

I’m kind of a tab-hoarder, I tend to open any link I might find interesting.  Maybe I’ll read them, maybe not.  I like to start with a nice clean slate every morning […]
