Double Shot #766

Another Monday morning bumper crop of links.

• Tidy views and beyond with Decorators - Applying patterns to Rails views. I'm not convinced that pushing CSS class names into the model is a win.
• Self-published and awesome - A list of Rails (and related) books you can pick up online.
• Netspot - Wi-Fi mapping software for OS X. Free, too.
• Airdroid - Nice app for working with Android devices from your desktop browser.
• How to use Firebug on your iPad and iPhone - Well, Firebug Lite, anyhow.
• What Powers Instagram: Hundreds of Instances, Dozens of Technologies - Tech porn for the cloud crowd.
• Markdress - Display any Markdown file with a URL as a nicely formatted page.
• RubyConf 2011 - Confreaks has all the sessions online now.
• Sprintly - Software project management software designed to allow non-technical users to participate. Now accepting beta applications.
• Bueller - Offshoot of Jeweler designed to better integrate with Bundler.
• Hubot (Ted Dziuba's Fork) - Rewritten in bash instead of node.js.
• single_instance - Gem to make sure only a single instance of a code block is running (useful for cron jobs that might run long).
• PSA: The number of gems installed on your system can impact rails boot time - Because god forbid Rails, gems, and Bundler should all work right together.
• Implement SPDY Protocol - Looks like Google's SPDY protocol is coming to edge Firefox. "To use it right now you'll need to set network.http.spdy.enabled to true in about:config." Unfortunately, for me at least it also makes edge Firefox rather crashy.
