Yay for me! I set a personal goal to have the code for all of my Rails apps on this site by the end of the year. Tonight, I can check that one off the list. The code for the Addressbook webapp is now available for download. Addressbook was not only my first Rails app, but also my first experience with Ajax. And trust me, it shows. I learned a lot from this project, especially what not to do. However, I must also say that I use Addressbook more than any other personal project I have ever completed. So, it can’t be that bad 
I love the fact that I can access my contact information from anywhere, and that I can manage groups of addresses and print mailing labels with the click of a button. Sure, the UI can be a bit unintuitive, but it’s not that big of an issue for me. There are a few more things I’d like to do with this project. We’ll see where it goes from here.

I finished cleaning up the Karate Journal code, and it is now available here. Two down, one to go. I hope to have the Addressbook webapp code on the site by the end of the year.

I finally got around to cleaning up and publishing the code for the Diners Club web application. Like everything else I release, I’m not sure who will actually use it. But, I find that the whole exercise of releasing your code is beneficial to you and your code. So, it’s worth the effort. It’s available via the MIT license, so have at it.
Kind of a funny side note about this project. I recently found out that a couple of co-workers of mine spend some of their spare time working on Planypus, which is a site for making plans with your friends. Sounds familiar! I was talking to them, and it turns out that Planypus started the exact same way that the Diners Club webapp started, as just a way to organize dinner outings with friends. They however took it to the next level and threw a business plan around it. I’m just not that business savvy I guess
