Double Shot #800

Fresh bread rising for later this morning. All's right in the world.

• acts_as_api - Rails 3 support for more flexible XML and JSON APIs.
• rack-git_sha - Somehow putting in Rack middleware to serve up the git sha of currently-deployed code seems like overkill to me. Don't you know what's on your servers?
• Form letter template for acquired startups - Oh so true.
• Amazon DynamoDB: First Look - Solid analysis from RedMonk (as always).
• How to run rvm scripts as cron jobs? - Some sysadminish advice.
• xScope 3.0 - I'd be happier if it weren't $20 to upgrade, but I'll probably buy it anyhow, considering how frequently I use version 2.5.
• Strano - Web UI for Capistrano that automatically uses the configuration from GitHub projects.
• The Trello Tech Stack - These are the tools I'll be using about two years from now.
• The Unprecedented Audacity of the iBooks Author EULA - If Apple thinks they own my output because one of their tools touched the creative process, they can go stick their head in a pig. It'll be a cold day in hell before I use iBooks for anything with this nonsense involved.
