Somehow I'm still hanging in and making my living writing Rails apps. Beats the heck out of the alternatives.
  • Hire a Guard for Your Project - Useful automation tool to react to file changes, for everything from running tests to compiling CoffeeScript to whatever else you can think of.
  • Add-on Compatibility for Firefox 8 - Yeah, I've been writing FF extensions (and ones for Safari, Chrome, and IE as well). The official add-ons blog is essential reading if you're chasing version compatibility for Firefox.
  • Resque Mail Queue Gem - Simple asynchronous email sending on top of Resque. (Hi Scott! Always good to see another .NET refugee.)
  • Navicat Premium 10.0 - My go-to database UI for OS X has added modeling now. It's pretty pricey, though, if you're not in databases all day every day.
  • MarkdownNote - Markdown editor and preview utility for OS/X and IOS.
  • QLMarkdown - QuickLook generator for Markdown files.
  • QLStephen - QuickLook generator for plain text files with no extension. Great for README and the like.
