Man, I hate site teething pains.

A pretty quiet day in my corner of the Rails universe.

Deploying with Capistrano via a gateway - Chu Yeow sorts a few things out. I have one project where this would be useful, except that they are stuck on an older Capistrano due to inertia.

Looks like another back burner project is heating up again. The rest of the week may be pretty busy.

Had a nice spike of learning about in-place editing yesterday. I’m not yet convinced this is a good UI.

Finally got the multi-file upload feature I’ve been wrassling with working. Hopefully this means I can move on to something else soon.

And now I’m mired in Javascript. Lucky me.

This multi upload UI is slowly coming together. Though if it were me, I’d talk the client out of wanting to see progress meters in a Rails app.

A very busy day looms. But first, a few links.

Next I need to dig into multiple file uploads for a Rails app. This may or may not be fun.

Working with a poorly-configured server all weekend. Hope to do something more fun today.

Looks like work hours are going to heat up next week. Meanwhile I need to find time to put together the giant play structure for the kids. Hooray for flexible hours.

  • Acts_as_quickbooks_model - Another Rails plugin that I might need soon.
  • New Relic - These folks got a burst of press coverage yesterday for their Rails performance-monitoring solution, even though they’re not shipping yet and there are others in the niche already out. The power of a good press release and good contacts wins again.

And a new month dawns…I might actually have some spare hours this month if anyone is looking for them.

Spending a good deal of time playing SQL monkey, recovering stuff out of a soon-to-be-legacy database. At least it’s some variety.

Bother. A pesky bug I thought I had swatted has resurfaced in another guise.

  • Juggernaut - Push data plugin for Rails. Looks interesting, though I have no current use for it.

It was a productive weekend; I got a major feature shipped for one of the sites I work on. Now back to the regular workweek.
