Introducing Railscheck - A Q/A verification tool for Ruby On Rails
Tue, 15 Apr 2008 13:21:33 +0000
The problem
It is a law of software development that the earlier one identifies a problem the cheaper (and less embarrassing) it is to fix. Hence, we developers strive to identify errors early on our own development machines aided by sound development methodologies, tools, and tests (at best automated).
A particular quality assurance challenge with dynamic technologies [...]

Rails and file uploads
Thu, 10 Apr 2008 06:04:52 +0000
While there certainly are several good file upload plugins for Ruby on Rails. It is actually somewhat hard to find any good tutorials on how to do it yourself. I just wanted to post to great links that helped me figure the whole thing out

Ruby Fools conference in Copenhagen
Thu, 03 Apr 2008 07:53:38 +0000
So we went to the Ruby Fools conference here in Copenhagen and this post kind of sums up my experience of the different speakers. The conference went over two days and had three tracks. I primarily focused on the Advanced Rails stuff. I’ll probably update this post once you can download the presentation slides (and [...]

Shrink your Windows disk image on VMWare Fusion (Mac)
Mon, 31 Mar 2008 17:38:33 +0000
It is possible to free up quite a bit of hard disk space by compacting your virtual disks for VMWare. Unfortunately VMWare does not provide a turn-key solution for shrinking disk images and the largely undocumented procedure depends on your guest and host operation system.
Here is a easy way to shrink a Windows guest image [...]

Using ExtJS tree on rails with the prototype adapter
Fri, 22 Feb 2008 08:26:31 +0000
So I’m doing a folder tree using the ExtJS javascript with the prototype library adapter. I’m pretty much doing this.
This was somewhat working. Every third or forth browser refresh the tree didn’t load any nodes. Very odd indeed. I debugged my way through using Firebug, but when this was on, it worked everytime. Since Firebug [...]

Mon, 07 Jan 2008 13:46:46 +0000

I started by following excellent guide:
Mephisto and Dreamhost
After looking at several guides, this one was really the easiest to follow.
Now Mephisto was installed and I wanted to [...]

Installing RadRails and getting error “Requested operation cannot be performed because it would invalidate the current configuration. See details for more information.”
Wed, 02 Jan 2008 21:54:26 +0000
Up until now, I’ve been using TextMate to create my Ruby on Rails code, but I’ve been missing stuff like autocompletion (I know, a bit more difficult when using dynamic languages, but I really miss it because I also do alot of C# development in Visual Studio).
So.. I decided to try out RadRails that is [...]

Ruby on Rails’ footprint on Microsoft
Fri, 21 Dec 2007 10:14:06 +0000
This post could also be called how David (DHH) inspired Goliath (MS).
Lately Microsoft has release a number of products and new technologies on the .NET platform. Of course this could just be seen as the way of .NET framework. I mean.. 3.0 and 3.5 are just what comes after 2.0, right?!
Anyway… We’ve had this WebForms [...]

Asp.net MVC framework
Fri, 12 Oct 2007 06:49:49 +0000
And so it happened… Microsoft acknowledged that not all developers like the whole event driven/viewstate model.
Other web frameworks like the MVC model has been used for years on other platforms, alternatives like MonoRails have existed on the .net platform with a small loyal crowd of developers.
But now…. (my guess is because the whole buzz about [...]
