Double Shot #215

Theoretically a holiday in the States today. Given the amount of "rush rush" work on my plate, I'll take a rain check on that.

• Community Engine - Add social networking features via a Rails plugin. (via Ruby Inside)


• Content Generation and the Law - A quick survey from Eric Goldman. Worth reading before you try to come up with a glib answer to Twitter's recent TOS/stalking issues. (via Denise Howell)


• 28 mod_rails/Passenger Resources to Help You Deploy Rails Applications Faster - Great roundup from Peter Cooper. I wonder if I want to tackle this on one of my servers.


• The Return of Rails Components - Another scheme for adding interchangeable functionality to Rails apps.


• YAML 1.2 Ensconces and Envelopes JSON - A new draft for the next YAML spec is out.


• Useful JavaScript: textCounter - Show the number of characters remaining in a text input. Where was this when I needed it?


• Living on the Edge (of Rails) #22 - The big news this time is that all the tests for Rails now pass in Ruby 1.9.


• ClipboardSharing - Free utility for folks with multiple Macs.


• Spike - Clipboard sharing with multiple clips and clipboards for OS X or Windows. Not free, but at $7 and down per copy it looks worth paying for.
