a personal update
August 2nd, 2006 by Benjamin Wagaman.Categorized as Ruby on Rails, personal, programming.
Okay, it’s been a while since I’ve written anything. The last month has been pretty darn busy. The Wagaman Clan migrated from Orlando, FL to Lewis Center, OH (in the Columbus, OH area). We bought a house and I have started as a full-time freelance web developer. Currently I am working on a Ruby on Rails project full time until at least half-way through September. I just started on another short term contract today as well.
Thus far things have been going pretty well in the freelance arena. I’ve been used to working in the “enterprise” arena, so it’s a little change of pace, but I like it. To maintain my work records I am over half-way through developing a TimeTracker application in Ruby on Rails. It keeps records for my work sessions, contracts, invoices, customers, and more. It’s really cool developing custom software that you can use as well. It’s teaching me a lot about Agile Web Development.
Well, that’s about all for tonight. Tune in again, sometime…
I did a search for “emergent church columbus” and ran across your profile on 43things.com.
crazy coincidences, my name is Ben, my wife and I just had a boy August 31st (but we have an 18 month old too), and moved to Gahanna (East Columbus) from Los Angeles in June 2006 to be closer to family. I am an avid technology geek, picking up some php here and there (I’m a graphic designer by trade - still work virtually for a ministry in LA) and stuggling to find a true emergent faith community in central Ohio. Anyway, I’m always looking for virtual friends and I’m always looking for web developers to promote when people ask me to design a site. Look me up if you’re in the area — or could recommend a decent faith community.
