I’m a big fan of Google Insight. Mainly because it burns time when I’m bored and provides lots of “hmm” moments. Its a service Google provide that lets you see search volume against a range of other factors such as geography, time, etc. I thought I’d put a few together that may be of interest [...]
The man who created Rails can’t even keep his Rails site from going down when Digged. I’d like to suggest he use a framework that just works.
Rails is crap. There – I said it. Apologies to the geek with a peanut dick but it just sucks really bad. Compared to PHP – Rails is Great Yeah it is great – its epic in fact. But then again that isn’t very hard is it considering how shit PHP is? Stop Stealing Ruby’s [...]
I’m getting bored of Rails now but if you’re interested in an eBook detailing the changes in the latest 2.1 release then you can’t go far wrong with this one: Free Rails Ebook Many professionals who are done with their 70-290 and 70-291 prefer writing help e-books for students who are in the middle of [...]
Granted its a bit old but thought I’d throw this one into the air! Tenuous link, but Rails + Music = MOG. Similar to Last.fm but built using Ruby on Rails. What does that mean? Every self-respecting Ruby/Rails fan should have an account of course!

So here’s 4 Ruby-based web framework alternatives for starters: Ramaze – Has no known bugs and claims excellent stability. Thems fighting words! Camping – A ‘micro-framework’, this is incredibly lightweight offering limited features but great efficiency [...]
If you’ve never heard of Programmable Web then I suggest you take a look. Its a huge directory of all the major APIs on the web open for development. They’ve decided to award the Best API of the Year to the Facebook site. It won based on its openness, audience, money-making potential, viral features, modularity [...]
For anyone else suffering this issue in their Rails app lately since the upgrade I’ve traced it to a deprecation in “acts_as_rateable” and “acts_as_taggable” which both use the value “true” for the dependent parameter instead of one of those listed. The simple ‘hack’ to fix this is to replace “true” with “:destroy”. You’ll find the [...]
