And just like that I’m back to having plenty to do. The life of a consultant is never predictable for long.

Another day, another site deployed.

I spent most of yesterday learning about RSpec. Fun stuff, even if I can’t get the TextMate integration to work yet.

  • A Meme I’d Like To Crush - Greg Wilson, who actually knows a thing or two on the subject, discusses the current swooning over Erlang ’cause it’s so parallelizable.
  • Merb 0.4.2 released. - Just as I get interested, they push out a new version. The difference between open source software and a red queen’s race would be? (That’s a trick question.)
  • RSpec 1.1 - A significant release of the latest piece of software that I’m trying to spend quality time with.
  • Campfire Notifier for Cruise Control - I’m not actually using either Campfire or Cruise Control anywhere at the moment, but if I was, this would be cool.
  • Using Git with SVN - All of a sudden I’m seeing a lot of references to using git for source code control instead of svn. Looks like it’s reasonably possible to bridge the two.
  • Updating RubyGems and Rails in Leopard - I wonder if this would cure some of the versionitis I’m having on one of my dev boxes. Probably not, because I think I compiled everything from source on that box in the first place.
  • GoogleCharts - I figured someone would wrap up the new Google Charting API in a nice gem for Ruby & Rails. I wasn’t disappointed.
  • Using SSH Agent With Mac OS X Leopard - Came in handy for me as I switched over to letting Leopard be my ssh agent.
  • Google Maps API Icon Shadowmaker - This is going to come in handy on the site where I’m using Google Maps for a client.
  • BitNami - Pre-packaged install stacks for a lot of open source apps across a variety of operating systems. They have a Ruby and Rails package that provides an alternative to Instant Rails. (via Anthony Eden)
  • jrubyhub.com - More JRuby resources than you can shake a stick at.

Yup, I’m still collecting the random linkage…

I seem to have wandered into a twisty little maze of functions all starting with “lsl.”

Had to figure out how to rework my Rails login stuff to work with MD5 instead of SHA last night, as MD5 is pretty much the only hashing that LSL supports. Fortunately, this was a simple change despite the alphabet soupness of it all.

  • CruiseControl.rb - Continuous integration for Ruby. When my Rails code gets a bit more mature, I must look into this. (via Toolman Tim)
  • Describe it with RSpec - The RSpec behavior definition framework is another piece that I really should dig into some day.
  • How To Install Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) On Ubuntu - For a few brief moments I thought about this, but I really don’t need a collaboration server right at the moment. Maybe when I manage to wean the rest of the users on my network off of Exchange this will come in handy.
