Hanna is an RDoc template that scales. It's implemented in Haml, making the sources clean and readable. It's built with simplicity, beauty and ease of browsing in mind.

This is a project to make a complete replacement for the default HTML generator for Rdoc, the API documentation-extraction system for Ruby.

Just because you are capable of building a bikeshed does not mean you should stop others from building one just because you do not like the color they plan to paint it.

So, as a result, people using RESTful ideas to talk to browsers have to put the smarts back on the server. They invent new URLs which (for example) return a resource, but return it all wrapped up in the HTML needed to display it as a form for browser-based editing.

The number of operators that you can overload is very small and each of them is attached to very specific semantics that makes little sense outside the realm of scalars and of a few other specialized mathematical concepts (e.g. matrices).

A Rails plugin that delivers a special message to DiggBar users, or runs frame-killer javascript.

SWFRIP is a Macromedia Flash resource extractor and editor. It can save resources in various formats, including SVG conversion from the flash vector format, decompile ActionScript, and remove the protect tag from SWF files.

In this presentation, I demoed Cucumber and Webrat. I also talked about Integrity and how I like to put it all together.

Integrity is the angel watching over your shoulder while you code. As soon as you push your commits, it builds, runs your tests, and makes sure everything works fine.

I believe that the current specification of the element is vague because it avoids the question whether the element is safe for historians. Right now it hurts historical research more than it helps

MMM (MySQL Master-Master Replication Manager) is a set of flexible scripts to perform monitoring/failover and management of MySQL Master-Master replication configurations (with only one node writable at any time). The toolset also has the ability to read balance standard master/slave configurations with any number of slaves, so you can use it to move virtual IP addresses around a group of servers depending on whether they are behind in replication.

I’m working on a problem for a client which involves connecting to a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 database from Linux using Ruby. Here’s what I did to get it working, based off some useful instructions that are tailored for Ruby on Rails:

Central point to collect locale data for use in Ruby on Rails.

Unfortunately, by default plugin tests are pretty bland. They use the plain unit test suite supplied by Ruby, and not any of the extended Rails test framework. This will leave our plugin’s test classes with no access to fixtures, database.yml configuration, or any of those nice class auto-loading features.
