Here are today’s blogworthy thoughts that I don’t care to write entire articles about

• My team and I at Geneca finished our B2B auction web application ahead of schedule last week and there was much rejoicing. I had a lot of fun on the project.
• About two and a half weeks ago now I finished my summer MBA course: Cost Accounting. Man am I glad that’s over.
• Today I upgraded RedCloth on my rails app to 4.0. Dreamhost didn’t have redcloth installed by default however and to make it work I ended up having to create a gem repository in home directory – it ended up being a real pain in the ass. I mostly followed the instructions on doing so from here:http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/RubyGems#Application_Specific_Gems
• I saw an old post I made last year saying I dropped my yearly hosting costs to $23. Renewal time came around again and without being to use a promo code it costs $119/year. Dreamhost has been pretty good and I don’t feel like shopping around for a new host so I bit the bullet and paid it. ouch.

Today I turned my XBox 360 on for the first time in three weeks and was greeted by the telltale sign that your 360 has bit the dust: The dreaded Red Ring Of Death!

I got the refurbished unit back in 10 days.  details in the full article
