A Fresh Cup is Mike Gunderloy's software development weblog, covering Ruby on Rails and whatever else I find interesting in the universe of software. I'm a full-time Rails developer and contributor, available for long- or short-term consulting, with solid experience in working as part of a distributed team. If you'd like to hire me, drop me a line. I'm also the author of Rails Rescue Handbook and Rails Freelancing Handbook.

Double Shot #897

Back with a pile of stuff after spending much time with Cub Scouts and BB guns.

  • module-cluster - I think with support for methods like class_include_or_extend_prepends_includes_and_extends this might be the end game of Ruby metaprogramming.
  • Nitron - "An opinionated, loosely-coupled set of RubyMotion components designed to accelerate iOS development."
  • Rails version 3.2.6 has been released! - With some pretty important security fixes, so get on it if you haven't already. Here's the changelog for 3.2.5 to 3.2.6. There are also new 3.1.6 and 3.0.4 releases.
  • node-prompter - Interactive tool for building JSON files via templates with embedded expressions.
  • Amazon S3 - The First Trillion Objects - Yow.
  • MemShrink's 1st Birthday - The project to slim down Firefox RAM usage has not only had some great results but also makes for fascinating technical reading.
  • spice - RubyGem that provides support for the Chef API.
  • grocer - Ruby support for Apple push notifications.
  • hisrc-rails - Use the asset pipeline to provide responsive images to Retina (and other) displays. Works with the HiSRC jQuery plugin.
  • RailStrap - Rails 3.2 + Bootstrap + HTML5 Boilerplate + authentication.
  • RedisLive - Spiffy-looking monitor for Redis.
  • Linode Birthday Giveaway! - If you're in the market for a new VPS Linode has some deals running tomorrow.
  • Scalable and Maintainable CSS Approaches - An evaluation of some of the work in this field.
  • Dressed - "Premium Rails Themes based on Bootstrap."
  • Rails 2 Asset pipeline - I don't like the pipeline enough to want to retrofit it to my remaining Rails 2 apps, but apparently some people do.

module-cluster is a 404. Private repo?
