Laurence A. Lee's Comments

Great, will do! I actually do have a favorite framework it's web.py and then django and I just recently wondered into the Ruby world recently.

I just finished up writing a little flickr like application in sinatra(complete with users and search) on my local server. It feels "clean" =P

The world of web development is so much more fun than desktop apps, lol. But, it looks like I'm going to be more busy reading up on all these different new/exciting frameworks.

BTW: do you know of any places that are looking for a intern ruby/python web developer? I'm looking to get some experience under my belt so, I'm ready to hit the ground running after graduation.

seen you mention Sinatra in one of your comments, it's great stuff!

To others checking out Laurence's page - We highly recommend him for Linux sys admin work. He is an absolute pro.

Thank you for sharing with us at the LUG and on TechHui!

Oh yeah -- if you're ever feeling bored, write a review of the Hele. I'd love to get a critical review of it-- particularly interested in latency characteristics as I make heavy use of ssh.

Good talk/good meeting at the LUG. I'm going to download Fedora and possibly CentOS and install as a vmware fusion image.

I've been wanting to standardize on a single platform for a particular project -- teaching a computer vision/OpenCV class. Even in the latest Ubuntu, there's not good support for UVC (Universal Video Class -- a new USB device class, similar to what mass storage was for storage devices -- single driver) webcams. V4L is in kind of a weird state right now, it seems. I may end up just forgetting about getting any sort of standard platform and instead write a statically-linked UVC framegrabber and have people hit that with Python's OpenCV bindings, as C/C++ don't seem to be too big in Honolulu. I may write a blog post on TechHui later when I work out all the details.

In any case, good that we have a LUG now.

Hey Laurence, I wondered if that was you. Nice to heare from you. I hope all is well with you. Someday if you are in the mood for a long sad story, I will tell you how the MedSurf thing all worked out. The Reader's Digest condensed version is that the Doc screwed me big time! Have a great 2009!

Hi Laurence. Thanks for attend the Eclipse User's Group meeting this past Tuesday. Your expertise in Ruby really added to the discussion. Be sure to join the Eclipse Group here at TechHui so you can keep up with whats going on there.

I always want to keep as much of what I earn as possible, and I assume everyone else does too. I'm happy to share the tricks I've learned. I hope the royalty trick is useful to you.

hey, Laurence. thanks for joining the ICS mentors group. did you graduate from the ICS department?

Hey nice skin for your page.

Only a Pet Lover Would Understand . . .
