And the winner is...

Today the 15 Flemish villages who made it to the finals of the election for the Most Beautiful Village of Flanders were announced. How do I know? We build the freaking website man!
Check it out @ www.vlaanderen-vakantieland.be/hetmooistedorp
The real winner is only to be announced in 2008, but from September onwards a full campaign including the necessary radio & television attention is started. If you live in one of the selected villages ... this is your chance to become a star. Mail to vlaanderenvakantieland@een.be and let them know that you exist! If you don't live in one of those villages, you might consider moving.
If the camera doesn't want you, you can always soothe yourself by posting a comment or a picture on the website itself. Most thing are published. If that doesn't work ... well ... as long as your mama loves you...

Ruby on Rails

Today, we broke the .net monopoly and start experimenting with RoR.
Setting up my Mac Dev environment and an Ubuntu linux, wasn't plain trivial, but all is running sweet now.  Did my first scaffold and got to know the MVC dogma :-). Coming from .net, everything looks a bit old school, but on the contrary, we are dealing with a modern full blown framework. No complaints so far. More about our progress later.
