So far on this blog I don’t think I’ve talked about web development, which is a biggy as far my comp-uuu-tarrr machine related interests go. Now, what I’m about to say everyone will likely scoff at, but I’m a big fan of Perl for making web apps. Now, I’ve never created a web app that’s gotten wildly popular and had to scale, nor have I created one where I’m not the only user, and nothing too complex, so I can’t talk defend Perl in that sense. However, as far as actually accomplishing a task, Perl just seems really logical to me, and what it lacks in free online tutorials (versus PHP with tons) it makes up for in its flexibility for doing things in multiple ways, as its slogan, “There’s more than one way to do it.” suggests.

But enough of this, now on to what I actually intend to start making: ladies and gentleman say hello to scrump.tio.us Hmm, I’m trying to think where I got my inspiration from, though note: I haven’t registered the domain. As you may of guessed, basically it’ll be a cheap, less good, in fact, extremely bad version of Del.icio.us. This means it’ll basically let a user save a link, preferably tag it, and optionally give it a brief description. Then other users can see the stream of links you save, and you can see others’. In addition to this, I may employ a rating feature. So, why create it, you say? Well, to tell you the truth, it’s really more for me than it is for you, in terms of learning different programming techniques, things of that nature. However, if there’s any interest I may indeed let others use it. In the meantime though, use Del.icio.us (and even if I complete it, still, and only use Del.icio.us, I command you!), heh. I might post updates about the project and maybe screenshots if I ever do develop it, so stay tuned.
