Use Chrome! Get onto a Mac. Learn to love command line. Lint your JavaScript.

People you need to follow / research:

Octopress ROCKS!

Been meaning to get a blog going for a while now. Even tried Octopress a while back but it did not go so well. Lucky for me I tried it again and it could not have been easier.

Will post any changes I am making to the config here.

Start here and you will be up and running in no time at all.

Going to try and post a few things each week. Let see how it goes.
