Double Shot #868

About to push another week into the dustbin of history.

• A sneak preview of Phusion Passenger 3.2, part 2 - Passenger is still out there, and the next release is out in pre-release. It's got notably lower memory requirements for one thing.
• TotalSpaces brings back grid Spaces to OS X Lion - A very welcome announcement indeed. Software that fixes on of Apple's stupider decisions.
• Introducing Bwoken - UIAutomation test runner for iPad/iPhone that lets you write tests in CoffeeScript.
• Multi-Tiered Storage: Drobo + SSD + The AWS Storage Gateway - I really need to find time to set something like this up.
• Rails Upgrade Guide - The original from Jeremy McAnally, now open-sourced.
• Integration Testing Engines - Tips for easier development from Ryan Bigg.
• QEDProject - Simple web project skeleton with support for Sass, CoffeeScript, asset packaging, LiveReload, and JavaScript testing.

Multi-Tiered Storage: Drobo + SSD + The AWS Storage Gateway

You know, I love technology as much as anyone, but I think for most situations the simplest solution is the best solution. I use some rotating external hard drives along with an unlimited online backup plan from crashplan.com for $5/month. The data is automatically encrypted before transmission to crashplan.com, and I can customize everything, even on Linux.
