New Site

Ok, after some hiccups, CubeMine.com is now powered by WordPress! Yes, I know I said that I like reinventing the wheel before but I just don’t have time anymore to get my symfony-wheel spinning.

Big Buck Bonanza

Hello everyone,

I know I’ve been very inactive lately. The last wallpaper I posted here was almost a year ago! To compensate this and to commemorate the soon-to-be-released YoFrankie open game, I just posted four wallpapers I’ve been slowly creating since the Big Buck Bunny movie DVD arrived here.

When someone thinks of rapid web application development, Ruby on Rails is the framework everyone remembers first, but it has a problem. It does not run on standard LAMP web servers and so most web hosting services don’t support it on their basic plan, which is the shared hosting.

Prints Available

I just added a new section Prints which is actually redirecting to my DeviantArt store page. The new DeviantArt Shop looks incredible with many high quality prints and their printers are certainly top notch.
