Words to ban: "brogrammer."

  • What's Next - A teaser of news from TextMate: "There will be a public alpha release this year, before Christmas, for registered users."
  • USBtypewriter - Just what it says, typewriters with a USB interface, for those of us with more nostalgia than good sense.
  • Firebug 1.9a3 - The bleeding edge of Firebug development (which has actually been working quite well for me lately).
  • Firebug Lite 1.4 - More features for those trying to debug on systems other than Firefox.
  • Simple Two-Factor SSH Authentication - using ruby plus Google Authenticator.
  • JSONLint - Best online JSON validator/formatter I've found.
  • Ruby Timeout Woes, Part 2 - Why you should not rescue Exception inside of a Timeout block.
  • Rails is not MVC - Can we do vi vs. emacs next?
  • MonoTable - "Zero-admin, no single-point-of-failure, scalable NoSQL Data-Store in Ruby." We'll see how those promises play out when it moves beyond early design and implementation.
  • Formtastic 2.0 - Big new release aimed at Rails 3.1.
