This is Lisa’s personal blog. It is powered by Sinatra, Haml, and Sass, as well as many other invaluable gems.
You can visit it on heroku (the url will be more sensible once I get the contact form working).
Things are definitely rough around the edges. You might even cut yourself on the abominable contact form. (Ben Prew tells me that Pony ought to be updated in the next coupla days and that it may solve all of my problems. We’ll see.)
The /thoughts page pulls the last 10 (11, for the time being, because one is ignored) entries from Blogger using the GData API. This is accomplished using the gems open-uri and crack. The resulting Monster Hash is the navigated using a fabulous dot notation by extending the Hash class (there’s probably a better way to do that, but like Kerry, I too will code gooder one day and don’t know the better way yet).
