Let me first show you this:

Rails 2.3.0
(B*****s!)
(Me watching Diggnation one time too many)
So Rails or more precise gem installer sucks in Windows. Most of the time people have problem with sqlite gem but as it happens, others can make your life hard as well. Problem is that when specific Windows version of gem is [...]
Rails on Windows, gems doesn’t install, can’t update
rails sqlite problem in windows : no such file to load — sqlite3
Huh, what a time waster.
Rails used to work right out of the box. Not anymore.
I recently had hd crash and today I wanted to do some rails work. No rails, no problem.
So I install it and try to use sqlite3, which I remember was trick to make it work, then I figure, maybe they fixed [...]
Rails 2.2.2 introduce new mysql problems in Windows
I have two old rails 1.0 apps that I never updated. They are using fcgi which was fairly horrible way of running it and there is new passenger way, which is how it should have been from the start (why people like php, it just works). Anyway I decided to upgrade them totally with fresh [...]
RubyFringe conference
I feel like I totally missed out on this one. From all I can hear and view online, it seems to be great event and they had a lot of fun there. Well.. there is always next year.
Update:
I am currently watching John Lam of IronRuby fame and I am totally sorry I didn’t go there.
About InstantRails
Since Rails started, InstantRails was really super easy way to get yourself up to speed. When I want to continue to work on the project on new laptop, just download InstantRails and check out project from svn, run migrations and that is it.
Now I realized, however that might sound strange, I don’t need InstantRails any [...]
Passenger a.k.a. mod_rails
Dreamhost were most of our sites are hosted is known for two things, overselling and adding all the latest and greatest features for it’s users. Also customer service is pretty good there as well, specially taking into account that it is shared hosting. And just to mention is that they put very few limitations which [...]
Ruby Fringe conference in Toronto
To break with all this Google this and that, here is event that looks totally awesome, cool and fresh (it is in Canada so hot is not an option).

July 18-20
Let me just quote one thing from their website:
“Us: The Sex Pistols Them: Kenny G
We are the RubyFringe.”
I am really intrigued and would love to [...]
Git, a new SCM of choice for Rails
I am a little late talking about this but it is worth mentioning it. Git is a versioning system used for linux development, newly developed to facilitate easier and more seamless colaboration. It is adopted by Rails core team, with a lot of complains from rails contributors, specially ones who are using windows. I tried [...]
About RIA, Adobe and Microsoft
I just finished reading article in eWeek “RIA competition heats up” which describes current developments in both Adobe and Microsoft camps. Very interesting read. Today also S.Jobs of Apple said that Flash is just not good enough for iPhone. Which of course is ridiculous, it might be that iPhone can’t handle it. Anyway back to [...]
