mac mini

So it looks like we have a mac mini lying around the office and I’ve been wanting to get my hands on a mac of some sort to test run a development enviornment, so this will work out well.

The other thing I’ve been wanting to wrap my brain around Ruby and Ruby on Rails(ROR) to build web apps.  It’s a lightweight language that seems to be working for a lot of people in place of PHP.  I’ve been tasked with building a PHP app for someone and I’m thinking of setting up the mini to use Ruby and taking a stab at the app with it.

Wish me luck.
