Hope folks are having a good time at RailsConf. Here are a few links for those who are still reading blogs this week.


  • Rails Contributors - This project has a nice new look and up to date stats.

  • Installing Sphinx with Postgres on Leopard - Another set of instructions worth stashing away.

  • Compass - CSS meta-framework that provides a bunch of other CSS frameworks ported to Sass.

  • Ruby Toolbox - Overview of various popular projects from GitHub.

  • CrossTwine - Apparently some flavor of magic beans to speed up dynamic languages like Ruby or Python.

  • Github Pages for Fun and Win - Some people are getting pretty sophisticated about the way that they use the GitHub web UI.

  • StaticMatic - Another alternative for doing quick static sites with some syntactic sugar.

  • CouchDBX - One-click CouchDB package for OS X.

  • Tonido Plug - This is one of those things that threatens to suck money out of my wallet for no good reason: a tiny web server in a power plug.
