[Rails] Introduce yourself and your project -- Round 2

[Rob Park]

I've never been big on formal introductions, so I'll keep this short ;)

My name is Rob, and I've been a self-taught computer geek for as long
as I can remember. I've been tinkering with various web technologies
for years, and perl has always been my favorite programming language,
mostly for the regex. My current website is powered by blosxom, with a
few custom plugins that I wrote myself -- overall it's just a big mess
of perl code, really.

For the last few months I'd been hearing about how ruby combines the
simplicity of python with the expressiveness of perl, and I've been
meaning to learn it ever since. Now I've discovered rails, and I'm
even more motivated to learn ;)

So for right now, I'm content to just play with rails, setting up
various test projects and following tutorials and such. I don't want
to rush to replace my website with rails until I've learned more. I
want to take my time, learn as much as I can, so that when I do change
my website to rails, I can do things The Right Way (tm).
