Double Shot #504

I'm sure someone took the weekend off, but apparently it wasn't anyone whose site I read.

• Cucumber - The official Cucumber site is definitely spiffy these days. Makes me wish I found it to be a useful tool. Maybe I just haven't had the right exposure yet.


• Make your test suite UNCOMFORTABLY FAST! - Thoughtbot gets into the parallel testing act.


• Blackbird - Spiffy console logging for javascript.


• Git, Github, workflow questions - Nice discussion of git branching and deployment strategies, with input from the GitHub folks.


• time-warp - Gem to set the time to a pretend value for testing.


• How do I Flush DNS? - Includes instructions for doing so under OS X, which I recently needed.


• Talking to Wordpress with ActiveRecord - Just in case you need to do that.


• sqlite3-ruby 1.2.5 Released - Version bump, bug fixes, better compatibility for Windows & Ruby 1.9.


• Apple Push Notifications on Rails - Gem that should appeal to the growing overlap of people who do both Rails & iPhone work.


• yardstick - Tool to measure YARD (alternative to RDoc) coverage of ruby code.
