Colin Jones / Web Application Developer

Colin cannot tell a lie: he wrote this himself. He likes Ruby, Rails, Linux, and Apache, and would also like to thank Subversion and Capistrano for making things easy. He likes playing the trumpet and playing with his puppies, but not necessarily at the same time. He does not particularly like eating meat or getting a headache. Most of his blog posts are just a bunch of made-up words strung together. Just kidding.
