There recently came along some new Rails plugins: SearchLogic and AuthLogic. Both are coming from Ben Johnson (BinaryLogic). He seems to have some more logic..

Published by , July 9th, 2009Since the Ruby Hyves API wrapper is not being maintained (at least not by me :)).. I put it on GitHub to be able to do the maintenance more easily.

The BOM, UTF-8 and Rails
Published by , March 16th, 2009Some nasty things can happen to your design if your files are saved with a Byte-Order Mark (BOM) character at the beginning. We had a view that was totally f*cked up in Firefox by this. The view was simple:

Plugin gem dependencies in your environment.rb
Published by , January 26th, 2009One good thing in recent Ruby on Rails are Gem Dependencies! However.. they are very frustrating when you need gems in your plugins. This gives you a Catch 22..

1
2
3
4
5

sudo rake gems:install
(in /your/rails/dir)
rake aborted!
no such file to load — […]

Does Ruby on Rails scale?
Published by , June 6th, 2008Old question I hear you think But still it will get asked when you start Ruby on Rails projects for clients. One way of comforting a client is just naming a few RoR success stories: “Twitter uses Rails, it has about 8.000.000 unique visitors a month.”.
Evan Weaver has a nice comparison of some […]
Track yourself and your (stolen) Iphone
Published by , May 21st, 2008So.. I saw the homepage of Tijs Teulings and got inspired with his ‘my current location’ thingy. As you can see on the map, it uses an Iphone (I guess).
Now..this is the way to create something like that:
Install the Navizon application on your Iphone. Using installer.
Create the needed account for it.
Start Navizon and set ‘Appear […]
