Things may finally be slowing down for Christmas on the net, though not yet in my consulting practice.
Spent part of yesterday learning more than I really want to know about Apache logging. Perhaps I should raise our eldest to be a sysadmin.
The week started out with a bang: I completed the first draft of Getting Started with Rails and got started on a new client project as well.
Early mornings are the most peaceful time around here. Which may explain why I’m awake at 4AM.
- CouchDB with Rails - The latest screencast from PeepCode. CouchDB has been on my radar for a long time but I haven’t had a good excuse to use it yet.
- Reminder Tests - Dan Manges suggest some novel uses for automated tests. Well, novel to me, anyhow.
- Cucumber - Plain-text BDD tool that’s an alternative to RSpec stories.
- turled - The “look up Twitter users’ web sites fast” script has turned into a whole site, complete with my Ubiquity command.
I think the ActiveRecord Associations Guide I wrote may actually be finished.
- Dynamic Rails Error Help - Making the default validation messages more useful with a bit of javascript.
- Exceptional - This online error-tracker for Rails apps is now in open beta.
- Is Your Rails Application Safe? - If you’re inadvertently allowing mass assignment, probably not.
- MysqlTableSyncer - Command-line tool to synch up two MySQL tables.
- turl - My contribution to a little scripting fest on Twitter yesterday. If you have FF3 + Ubiquity, you can use “turl <userid>” to go straight to a Twitter user’s web site.
Looks like I may actually have enough work for the end of the year. But don’t let that stop you asking for more.
- Merb Beginner’s Tutorial - Notes on how to instal the latest edge bits.
- Bort - A Base Rails Application - A shot at packaging all the “I always do this stuff” bits into a fresh Rails application. I’ve seen some of these before; the general issues are that my stuff doesn’t match your stuff, and they haven’t tracked Rails versions. But this one got enough immediate traction it might do better.
- Ruby Wrapper for Twitter Search API - Just in case you need such a thing.
Things are churning right along here.
- Ruby Row - Boutique advertising network for Rubyists. $600 will get your ad on 5 of the most-known Ruby blogs.
- Introducing CampTweet - Pipe Twitter, Summize, or RSS feeds into Campfire.
Yeah, so the world doesn’t really need Twitterific , but then, there are many other mildly fun addictions it doesn’t need either.
