I spent a lot of time programming over the holidays. I was doing mostly PHP programming using the CodeIgniter framework, but I also spent some time delving into Ruby and the Rails framework.
Every once in a while I got stuck on a problem I couldn’t seem to figure out immediately. This is of course very common in programming, and nowadays we just hop over to Stack Overflow and we’ll have the answer usually within the hour. The problem was I was out East in Nova Scotia, and the Internet was down more often then not.
