Jul 20 2008 Published by under English,Ruby,Toronto

Thanks Pete and Unspace for putting together this great event!
Even we already had a pretty high expectation on RubyFringe, the quality of every sessions are still surprisingly good! I was so impressed and inspired!
Here is my short and sweet version of first day summarize:
Jay Phillips -
I have no time for the college, checkout my sexy Adhearsion.
Dan Grigsby -
Know who are your customers and find ways to reach them.
Tobias Lutke -
Memcached is your good friend, here are my awesome tips.
Yehuda Katz -
Merb is awesome, datamaper is awesome, thor is awesome, johnson is awesome, YARD is awesome.
Luke Francl -
Code coverage is bullsh*t, read some good books, pay someone to use your site and watch them using it.
Nick Sieger -
Let’s enjoy some Jazz!
Obie Fernandez -
Pick your clients, close you deals and I will kick your ass if you only charge less than $150 per hour.
Matt Todd -
Fuck it! Let’s just do it!
Jeremy McAnally -
Your web framework sucks and you know it.
Zed Shaw -
No more Ruby on Rails! Let’s play some fucking awesome music, then peace out!

Coda 1.5 entering limited private beta

Jul 08 2008 Published by under Apple,English,Mac,OS X,Ruby,TextMate

One of my favorite editor on Mac is Coda, the most important part for me is in their tagline:

Compare with my another favorite editor, TextMate, every time I open it, I will open three more windows at the same time:

  • Terminal for running application
  • Terminal for mysql
  • Browser for view my pages and documents

Coda has all of these and even more:

Text editor + Transmit + CSS editor + Terminal + Books + More = Whoah.

But, on another side, leaking of version control and no powerful bundles as TextMate keep a lot of Ruby developers out of it.

Things may change:

After a lot of work, we’re finally ready to work with some people to test Coda 1.5 — the next major release of Coda — and prepare it for the general public.

To enter Coda 1.5 limited private beta, go to:
http://www.panic.com/hive/
If registration is still available, the registration link will be in the upper-right corner of the page. (If there’s no link, we’re full.)

So what’s new in Coda 1.5?

  • Better Search and Replace?
  • Source Control Support (SVN or Git)?
  • Custom Books? Add more Ruby Document in it?
  • Better Support for more than one languages mix together in one file?

Stay tuned. :)

* Unless you want to use more than one window. Which is totally cool.

Canadian Apple Stores won’t sell iPhone 3G thanks to Rogers

Jul 08 2008 Published by under Apple,English

Apple, disgusted with Rogers Wireless for dumping egregious service plans on would-be iPhone 3G buyers, has decided that its Canadian retail stores will have no part in helping the carrier market the new handset to customers. As a result, Canadian Apple Retail stores won’t be selling the new 3G touch-screen phones come Friday.

We’ve just launched a new feature on LearnHub.com: Question Bank.

Over 1,500 members use this innovative social interface to practice for exams, which includes tools to allow members to time themselves, debate solutions and strategy with each other, and to track their improvement over time. The question banks grow daily as members and staff add new questions. As one of the only alternatives to expensive books and courses, LearnHub’s free SAT and GMAT communities are catching on quickly, averaging 50 new members every day since their launch.

PRWeb

Here is one thing makes our question bank so unique:

After you answer the questions, you will not only see the correct answers, but also the comments from other people who have answered the same question! And you can share your thoughts with us too.

Simple, but useful.

Should I say: it’s time for Community Practicing?!

iftop: display bandwidth usage on an interface

How to install?

  • Download and install the Universal Binary from here
  • Or if you already have MacPort installed

sudo port install iftop

How to use it?

  • run “ifconfig -l” or “/Applications/Utilities/Network\ Utility.app” to get your network interface id.

  • In my case is ‘en1′, so I just type into Terminal:

sudo iftop -i en1

Enjoy!
