Surprise! Yeah, I bet you didn't see that one coming, did you? It's Friday and I didn't want to start getting into the code just before a week-end. What better opportunity, then, to go ahead and announce the details of my new project? For your reading pleasure, I give to you: SQUASH.

So what does Coldspring do, anyways? We know by now that it's an Inversion of Control (IoC) framework. We also know that it helps us manage dependencies between objets. And yet, we're not quite sure what that means exactly yet. To help demonstrate the power of Coldspring, I've prepared a simple example.

Now that our application is setup, we want to make sure that it works. We'll start out by removing extra files we won't need. Once that's done we'll setup our default event and make sure everything's working.

Two days ago I had announced that I'd started work on a new project that I'd been wanting to work on for a while. Rather than spill out all the details in one post, I thought it'd be better (and funnier) to stretch it out a little.

I'm back again. Over the last couple of months I've been pretty busy with a lot of things in my life. A new addition to the family and a new job all happening at the same time had a bigger impact on my "blogging time" that I had anticipated. Luckily, I feel that I've finally struck a balance in my schedule and the time I spend commuting by train will be a perfect time to work on projects / blogging.

I've actually started work on something that I've wanted to tackle for a while now. I'll have more information in the following days, but for now I just wanted to let the world know that I'm still alive.

Stay tuned.
