Well, I was born on a normal day in July, 1981 and have been creating chaos ever since. Born in North Carolina, but raised in the aftermath of the Soviet Union, Kazakhstan, I have been messing around with computers nearly my entire life. I wrote my first program in assembly when I was 11. In my early teens I ran a BBS connected to Fidonet and started building a website for my band. In 1999 I was introduced to Linux, and it was love at first compile. I started my career in IT in the early 2000's doing IT for a Car Dealership in Charlotte NC. I wrote my first major web app in Cold Fusion (an ecom app) at that time. In 2006 I left Charlotte and moved down to Columbia where starting working as a developer, freelancer and consultant. Currently I am working as a freelance developer and DevOps consultant!!


Create a Project Directory with Ruby

\n I use TextMate right now pretty much exclusively. When I am working on a Rails project, it’s easy. I create the project with rails and then load the project in TM. But for php/html stuff, I can’t do that. So I have created a little ruby script that will create a basic project for me. I know that there are others (and even some better) but ruby is such a cool language that is is often times easier to create from scratch than it is to do a Google search. With all this being said, just in case some one decides to do a Google search, here is my code for creating a project shell. Enjoy!!
