Merging Git Repositories
One of the things that I realized while working on Rookeries, is that the server and client have to be more or less developed in sync. In theory one could develop these in parallel, however a function needs to be build on both sides. Since for the most part, I’m building Rookeries by myself having…

And life in general, with…

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! See Y’all in 2013!
Just a quick post this time, since this is one heck of a busy day. Actually the whole year has been kept me super-busy beyond my wildest dream. While I could of made do with less stress, it definitely pushed me to grow out of necessity. I definitely am a stronger professional than in the…
