Thanks to the magic of github, I have received [...] Read more – ‘Amazon S3, Heroku and the Paperclipped Assets Manager for Radiant’.
Not much news today. Most of the day was spent on client work. I had the fun task of calming down everyones nerves – there are still two deadlines to meet this week, before we can fully embark on building the Twitter app that I need for my day to day work.

The network topology is stored in a database, and in our [...] Read more – ‘Refactoring Rails Applications or why tests are a good idea’.
For an upcoming Rails project, the plan is to use the sqlite database. On Windows, the whole process of getting this installed was easy. Download the DLL, do a gem install sqlite3& and be done. Not so on OS X, where I plan to develop. sqlite3 is installed by default, but trying to install the [...] Read more – ‘sqlite3 on Mac OS X — trials and tribulations’.

Last week my article on Ruby on Rails came out in Infoweek.ch.
