Just a quick note for Google and future-me. If you want to mix both ember-rails and handlebars_assets in the same Rails project, you will encounter maddening issues with your Ember/Handlebars templates. Specifically, they will compile fine (probably) but Ember will not be able to see them.

I shall be making an attempt to build a game in 48 hours for Ludum Dare 24, for the first time.

Today was a pretty good day for me - programming-wise. Even though I wasn’t too well (having trouble hearing in my left ear which is disorientating and makes conversation difficult), I feel the contentment of a day well spent.

So what made it a good day? Building stuff is the bottom line for me but that is a very broad term. Today, building stuff meant working with the Raphael library to make a graphic for a web app (a dynamic graphic, it’s not just a logo); refactoring the backend of said web app and reading various tech news.

I often come across web pages that use fonts that I like and wonder what they are (I’m not that good at guessing fonts). On the whole this situation happens while reading on my iPhone because that’s the only high-resolution screen I use - good fonts look amazing on the iPhone 4S.
