The Sorcerer – a humorous short-short about friends with a different kid of benefits.

Mr. Moak and Mr. Soames – Two Fine Old Gentlemen – Another humorous and gross short story about the less obvious dangers of the Epicurean lifestyle.

It represents my first foray into responsive design, using the Skeleton framework, as well as Sinatra. I use Omniauth to authenticate via the Twitter API. You can browse, fork, etc at the Muxnote github repository.

It’s important to remember that GTD is not an immutable concept – you are free to delete items, knowing they will return to your inbox if they are important enough.

Recently I ran into an issue trying to deploy to the Heroku Cedar stack for my (in progress) app, Mocknote. I developed the app locally with Sqlite3, using Sinatra and DataMapper.
Heroku complained about my Gemfile.lock missing the dm-postgres-adapter, but I was unable to install the gem locally. I resolved this conundrum by adding this to my Gemfile:


group :production do
gem 'dm-postgres-adapter'
end


I then ran this:

bundle install --without production


I was then able to successfully deploy to Heroku.
