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 #899

The worst thing about software is when your tools break. Yak shaving, here I come.

  • sinatra-asset-pipeline - Sample app showing how to integrate sinatra with sprockets.
  • portalign - Ruby gem to help manage Amazon EC2 security groups.
  • chaves.js - jQuery plugin to integrate keyboard shortcuts into Web applications.
  • A Turing Machine built using LEGO - And much simpler than you might expect.
  • RailsThemes.com - These folks have launched their first theme (called Envy), and theres a lot more here than just colors and icons - they integrate with popular UI gems, supply a command-line installer, and generally seem to have thought the theming process through.
  • Talks - Gem to make command-line tools give you spoken status.
  • System Metrics - Rails 3 engine to do performance monitoring via ActiveSupport::Notification.
  • Ruby OpenSource Challenge - Win prizes by contributing to open source software.
