The inital round of the Developer Wellwishes campaign is drawing to an end on Thursday, when we'll be combining donations with a few other campaigns to make a contribution to charity:water. If you've done your share for earthquake relief and still want to help more people out, do drop by.
  • Distributed Ruby with the MagLev VM - A nice look at what's going on with this alternate Ruby, which to my mind is more significant than Rubinius or MacRuby. Being able to store distributed objects with no ORM is likely to be a killer feature.
  • Deadweight and Helium - CSS coverage tools that can report which selectors are unused in your application.
  • popthis - Turn a folder of email files into a POP3 server for testing purposes.
  • git-googles - Git utilities for branch management and code review.
  • The least you should know about S3 with Rails - This stuff is all out there, but here's a one page overview.
  • Yaml Cookbook - Turns out Ruby's YAML support is a good deal more flexible than I had realized.
  • Ruby Fibonacci Shootout - MacRuby is turning out some impressive performance numbers. Too bad it can't run anything I care about yet.
  • has_price - DSL for organizing things like taxes, discounts, and base prices. Wish I'd had this a year ago.
  • cacheable - Gem that adds cacheify, which is similar to memoize but uses memcached.
