I will continue working on NodeZA: https://nodeza.co.za - will focus on content creation and interaction between members.

http://node-ping.herokuapp.com (Repo: https://github.com/qawemlilo/node-ping) - This is a very simple tool that monitors the availability of some of my websites and sends me an email if one is down. Hosted on heroku on the free tier, running for 3 years without much maintenance :)

I'm using my own static blog generator: https://github.com/qawemlilo/node-blogger, tried WordPress for a short-while but found it a bit too bloated.

Lead developer for a small London based start-up. Side project is a Node.js community platform: http://nodeza.co.za.

Also found the coding style a bit complicated and confusing - looks like they are passing the User module to other modules(in this case the auth module) and adding methods.

Gulp is written in a way I've always wished Grunt could be used and I have already started using it in new projects. RequireJS is still my front-end module loader of choice.

Such short sightedness: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrBCgiFhmNA . Do you have any idea what it was like to be black or non-white in Apartheid South Africa? First educate yourself about our people's history before posting ignorant public comments.

FIY, npm does not allow you to push a module version more than once.

I have once used Google Spreadsheets as a database for a bookmarking app: https://github.com/qawemlilo/Bookmarks. What I did different was that I published my spreadsheet as a CSV doc and then used YQL to convert is to JSONP.

Backbone.js has made me a better JavaScript programmer, thank you Jeremy and everyone else that has contributed to this wonderful project.

This post really resonated with me. I'm a Joomla! developer and the learning curve for the Joomla! Framework and CMS is a bit steep but once you understand the extensions architecture building web apps becomes enjoyable. Being able to break down an app to templates, components, modules and plugins is what I feel makes a system like Joomla! (or in your case Drupal) worth the time investment.

It gets even better, the company that designed the website doesn't even have its own website: http://letlaka.co.za/.

I'm from South Africa and this simply demonstrates the extent of corruption within our government departments. It is not uncommon for government departments to inflate tender budgets so as to benefit from kickbacks. I'm appalled by such such acts, firstly as a South African citizen and secondly as a hard working web developer.

I am learning by doing and would appreciate some feed back.

JavaScript variables are passed by reference, the variable `i` on the statement: `var msg = txt[i];` will always reference the last value after the loop has executed.
