Update
Ok, so here’s where I’m at. I’m over Rails, done with it, caput. It’s got the greatest ideas, but the implementation is lacking. Many of the most common ideas are easy to implement elsewhere (Like PHP’s Adodb Active Record as one example). So my interests have floated back to PHP. I’m still a big JavaScript […]
Haunted House Nation/Rails/Mac Mini HDTV Screen Paint
Where the heck is Haunted House Nation? Well, it is off season(although, technically, the season for house planning is just starting now) and I’m still struggling with the drupal upgrade, but it will be back in time. I plan to have it up, better than ever, by August. I’m working on a few other sites […]
Rails Plugin Repository
Talk about being out of the loop for awhile. Instead of the terrible spam ridden Rails wiki(which I’ve heard is better now too) there is a searchable place for plugins. Woo!

Project Management Tutorial Part 2, First Iteration
Here’s our goals for the first iteration.
Task Database Object
Add Task via Xul Client
It’s small, but it gets us started on all the overhead of both rails and xul.
Project Management Tutorial Part 1, Planning and Design
Luckily/Sadly, there is no pressure for me to complete this on any timeframe, and it’s secondary to the rest of my work, which is far more important. However, a nice diversion is always in order, and helps get my mojo back into my regular programming work. Read on for the rest of this…
FreeBSD woes, back to Rails, project management
Trying to install FreeBSD on my main computer, thanks in part to a new 500gb hard drive replacing my old 90gb hard drive(woo hoo!), I get “BTX Halted” over and over again. Nothing else. I’ve tried i386 and amd64 builds(I’m on amd64 but it was a recommended fix) as well as disabling the DMA on […]
XulRunner and Rails Tutorial, Part 2: Connecting the Two
Read Parts: One
Two
Today we’re going to Connect Rails to our new XulRunner app. Sounds easy enough, right?
Well….
Let’s start on the Xul side of it. All this XmlHttpRequest stuff is crap. And Ajax is Ajax+J.
Under the xul/content directory, let’s create a new one called “js” to store all of our javascript in, and let’s create another […]
Xul(Runner) and Rails Tutorial, Part 1: Introduction and Setup
Read Parts: One

Please Note: I’m not the first to do this. Check out that app, very nifty.
But now I’m going to give it a go.
For this demo app, we’re going to create a simple online forum based in XUL with a Rails backend.
First up, gotta boot up RadRails and start a new project, and we’ll […]
More Ruby On Rails stuff
Everyone who knows RoR already, skip this. Let me be amazed with the other newbies and those who haven’t seen RoR in action.
Check out Script.Aculo.us’s Live Demos. This is all included(and easy as hell to use) with Ruby on Rails, although it can be(and I will) used with non Ruby apps. Very cool.
I’ve been working […]
Back, and Updates
I’m back, here’s some quick updates.
Asterisk 1.2.5 is out.
A company I work for has released a xulrunner based app(woo hoo!) using an MSI installer creator that works quite well, although I can’t wait for xulrunner to fully mature and have it’s own installation and updating mechanisms.
I’ve also become a huge fan of Ruby on Rails. […]
