Summer break somehow manages to be too long and too short simultaneously. School starts up in September, after a few months off for work, vacations and general rambunctiousness. Time to get cracking on all my summer plans.

Some cool apps I've been playing with:

• Vanilla: a new arrival in the forum market. Vanilla is trim, clean and open-source. Get it Here.
• Ruby on Rails: purportedly the greatest thing since sliced bread. I haven't had a chance to see if it lives up to the hype, but it certainly sounds impressive. Get it Here.
• WinBinder: a Windows binding for PHP. Allows you to access the Windows API via PHP scripts. Get it Here.

And a link for good measure:

• Kick Ass Classical: a collection of information about (and audio samples from) some of the most popular classical pieces of all time. A fun page for classical fans like me. View it Here.
