A Fresh Cup is Mike Gunderloy's software development weblog, covering Ruby on Rails and whatever else I find interesting in the universe of software. I'm a full-time Rails developer and contributor, available for long- or short-term consulting, with solid experience in working as part of a distributed team. If you'd like to hire me, drop me a line. I'm also the author of Rails Rescue Handbook and Rails Freelancing Handbook.

Double Shot #687

I quit developing for the Windows platform because of Microsoft's bluntly anti-competitive behavior. Fortunately for me, I never started developing for the OS/X or iWhatever platform, so Apple's bluntly anti-competitive behavior has less effect on me. Hopefully the web will remain a viable platform for at least a few more years. It is, however, getting less likely that my next computer will be a Mac, no matter how nice they are.

Oh my. That "cpedia" thing must have been an April Fuil, surely? Hilarious.

I'm a gunderloy fan for years. I still work mostly with MS stuff. I do get the desire to escape from the jerk aspects of microsoft, but have never understood why many saw apple as anything less creepy. They're always been control freaks over there. Anyways, hope it works out escaping the tractor beam of death star #2.
