Union Station : Modern SQL Server & Rails

Thu, 10 Feb 2011 05:32:16 +0000

We're investigating including TinyTDS in http://railsinstaller.org If you have any feedback on it, that would be awesome for all the "new to rails" developers who'd love an easy way to connect to their existing data.

Union Station : Front-end Maintainability with Sass and Style Guides

Thu, 20 Jan 2011 16:28:02 +0000

As an insider, I've now looked at it and its awesome. For many of the sass modules, there is a sample page for each showing how buttons, forms, widgets will look & feel. Its deployed with AppCloud and accessed to internal staff via the Admin console. Very nice.

Union Station : Ruby on Rails on Windows - The Last Frontier

Wed, 5 Jan 2011 22:49:28 +0000

On hiring, new (technical & non-technical) staff receive a Mac. Some of our support/ops tasks require Windows (some use Windows machines, others use VMs), but in 2010 I don't believe we did any development on Windows.

Union Station : How to Host Hudson CI on AppCloud

Wed, 15 Dec 2010 22:05:21 +0000

Initially I was just solving the "get it working at all" then I did "get it working simply" task (which I decided I could in good faith share gleefully!) I remember some of the Mocra guys looked at headless js integration testing earlier in the year; but haven't seen a canonical "this is the bestest solution in the world" solution. Perhaps can you re-post the headless section of your blog as a stand alone post so people can easly find + reference it? I think the solution to this is very important and significant. I don't have anything for this yet in the "ey-hudson" project yet, but would dearly love to have an easy solution to it!

Union Station : Wesley Beary and fog Promoted to the Engine Yard Open Source Program

@Jason - "Engine Yard Open Source Program" is the set of full-time staff on Rubinius, JRuby, fog, Rails 3.0, Bundler, and the associated projects. Yehuda Katz is also the first of a top secret program of additional contributions to open source. But that's top secret. :)

@charlie, worth linking "This article was originally published on Charles Nutter’s blog Headius" to http://blog.headius.com/2010/07/browsing-memory-j... for the other comments?

Union Station : Monitoring Memory with JRuby, Part 1: jhat and VisualVM

Thu, 5 Aug 2010 09:49:03 +0000

This is so cool. Can the OQL query inside instance variables of Ruby objects etc? Can I point visualvm at a remote app, say even a sinatra/jruby app on GAE?

Union Station : Cross-Domain Data with Rack and Rails

Thu, 28 May 2009 23:50:30 +0000

If we need a self-hosted proxy to encode 3rd party data then aren't we defeating the aim of not requiring a proxy to access cross-site content? If we're going to create a proxy then it might as well pass through the raw data for normal Ajax requests?

Blah Blah Woof Woof : Adaptive script/console Shell Alias for both Rails and Sinatra - blah blah woof woof | tim riley

This is a nice general concept of using bash functions instead of aliases to include discovery logic. Sweet.
