And thats all I’m going to say about that.
Cake PHP framework

Cake PHP framework, is a Ruby on Rails rip-off for PHP. I haven’t had the chance to try it myself, but it looks very promising for rapid development of sites.

Shiira Project, a slick browser for OS X. I’ve been using the latest nightlies, and its amazing! There is even a feature tab-expos� feature, its still very beta, but it works! Shiira is also fast browser I’ve ever used – give er’ a spin.
Southern New England Team Race

Connecticut College March 26-27
After driving up all day Friday, we were psyched to get to sailing on Saturday morning. We won some key races, and lost some stupid ones – mostly our problems stemmed from not being on the same page a lot of times. On Sunday the story was much the same, we made the final rotation (6 teams), and finished 4th, but we did not feel like we had sailed to the best of our abilities. This weekend coming up we’ve got another team race, and hopefully this time we’ll be able to get organized and sail well – I’m hoping we can all get some lunch and chat about our team racing beef.
Spring Break
Posted by Andrew
Spring Break week was spent sailing at Charleston. We enjoyed great practice, with only one morning where there wasn’t enough wind to sail. Charleston team was kinda lame, they typically host a fun party on Thursday night, but that fell through – maybe next year. We know we’ve got some work to do in team racing, I think most of those problems will be solvable once we are practicing on Mascoma (WHICH IS STILL FROZEN, WOW.).
Truxtun Umstead

U.S. Naval Academy March 19-20
Saturday – Pretty light, only got two races in, Elisabeth and I were sailing B, Storck and Clementine were in A. For Lasers and Radials, Wilde was sailing C and Fleming and Luke sailed D. Nothing exciting, E and I got a kinetics penalty for sculling to the side to avoid a collision around the leeward mark… ghey. Saturday night Kreter got Debola, a wonderful 24 hr. bug that Debbie brought back from the reservation – 10 people ended up getting it, thankfully I was not one of them. Sunday I sailed the first set with Kreter, but she was feeling so ill that Killarney got dressed and sailed. She had just gotten back into the country from Spain, and was pretty jet lagged, but sailed very well. Sunday was frustrating, we were so close to breaking into the top of every race, but had trouble with small things, that kept pushing us back to mid-fleet. We finished virtually every race in 5th-10th. Finished 8th in B, 7th overall.
