SlangSlang


Welcome, Slangasaur.us is a multi-lingual user submitted thesaurus, that lets you look up and add words, slang, and phrases in multiple languages.

But why...?

I wanted to make an easy to use tool for people to write their own history, and connect them to the rest of the world.

But how...?

Slangaur.us was written using Ruby on Rails which is a web programming framework. It allows the things you type in boxes to be sent to a server and saved to a database. I like it alot.

But who...?

Richard Schneeman has absoloutely no web programming background and was able to learn enough to make this application from scratch in a little under a year, this also includes losing all of his code when his computer was stolen for the second time. He is A Mechanical Engineer that graduated from Georgia Tech May 2008. He loves wakeboarding, snowboarding, caving, climbing, and doing crazy stuff. He currently works for National Instruments (they make data acquisition software and hardware, not calculators) and as of August 2008 will be living in Austin, Tx.
