Alles met de tag “ruby”

I’m currently building a rather nifty application that will allow users to compose and download their own ringtones. While my new co-worker Wouter Hisschemöller (SATAMA) is busy programming the user interface (flash 9, AS3) I’m given the challenge to create MP3s from an XML source.

Ik sla “wat is een tag” even over. Taggen van content is vaak erg nuttig en zou dus makkelijk te implementeren moeten zijn. En met een slimme rails plugin is het makkelijk. Op deze site gebruiken we acts_as_taggable_on_steroids. En 1 controller doet al het werk.

UPDATE: The generate code does not work on Rails 2.x – updated version following soon

A while back I talked about my send-to-friends-generator. I’ve turned it into a gem, as gems are a better fit for code generators. They should be available system wide and not on a per project basis. And probably more important: I had never released a gem before. Turns out it’s very easy.

Afgelopen weekend is OSX Leopard uitgekomen. Waar ik erg mee in mn nopjes ben, is dat Ruby en Ruby on Rails standaard mee worden geïnstalleerd.

Coding a send-to-friend is boring. I never want to do it again. So I wrote a rails plugin called “send-to-friends”.

Flickr offers lots of functionality through their API. There are many ways to send requests (REST, XML-PRC, SOAP) and receive responses: JSON, native PHP (cool!), XML or SOAP. I don’t really like using SOAP.

I’ve only been on OSX for about a year now. I’m not a poweruser (yet). A friend recently told me about a rather cool little utitity called Growl. Growl is a pretty notification system for OSX. Lots of apps are supported.
