Erlang, I'm Diving In
I've recently become interested in learning Erlang, it's a functional language, high performance and much different than your average C based languages. That being said, it's going to be a steeper learning curve for me.

CodeIgniter - a Rails-like PHP framework
I haven't been this excited about a framework since Groovy. CodeIgniter is a rails-like php framework that allows for rapid development using a REST Model-View-Controller, comes with a basic scaffolding, an assort of core classes and excellent documentation. Although many of the implementation may simply skip the model, consisting of only View-Controller.
Each RESTful request may be called as:
www.{domain-name}.com/class/function/ID
The existing CI components can be expanded using:
* Helpers
* Plugins
* Libraries
* Classes
* Hooks
Also of note is a handy authentication module FreakAuth, I'm not sure why they chose GD2 as the image library of choice for CAPTCHA.

Greasemonkey Darken Script
I just love Greasemonkey scripts for Firefox. I happened to stumble upon this basic script to 'Darken' a web page, it's simple but a start. Now I'll make some tweaks to invert colors.

Groovy or JRuby? That is the question.
As for myself, I can't speak for JRuby, as I've only had experiences with Groovy. And I have nothing but good things to say about Groovy. It's easy to setup, implement and deploy and has much faster performance than just Ruby alone. Hundreds of times of faster in some benchmarks .
And so onto the comparison, Martin Fowler creates yet another thought provoking computer language article:

Yes, Folks MT Here
I'm still here using Movable Type, Version 3.01D to be exact. That may be changing very soon. I set up a blog on wordpress.com, but it's entirely too limiting. It's either going to be a local wordpress installation or else i'm going with Drupal.
