3.4	May 11, 08	Was away on vacation	1 1 0
It' s been quiet here the past several weeks and that' s because for the first time since I started Planet Argon , I was able to take an extended vacation.

5.9	Apr 16, 08	Review: Braintree	7 5 0
Zack Chandler (author of the TrustCommerce gem) writes.. How do you like Braintree? I???ve haven???t used them yet but may in the future??? Good question. I was actually planning to write up a quick review of their exceptional service because not many people know about them yet. Now is as good of a time as any. We' ve been using Authorize.NET for over four years as it' s what our primary banking institution hooked us up with when we began ... 7 bookmarks • 5 comments • 0 diggs • 0 conversations • 0 tweets

In a previous post , I showed how we' ve been working on an interactive deployment process for Rails applications to reduce the time it takes to deploy to a Boxcar . We began to move our Boxcar deployment recipes into it' s own Rails plugin and just made it available on GitHub . Introducing Boxcar Conductor The Boxcar Conductor plugin aims to automate the entire process for deploying to your Boxcar.

6.1	Apr 11, 08	git-svn is a gateway drug	32 5 5
As we' re migrating away from Subversion to Git, I' m having to learn a lot about git-svn . Andy has posted a few articles on this topic, but I wanted to share a quick tip that I find myself forgetting. Working with Subversion branches While you' re hopefully already familiar with how great local branches are with Git, you might not know that you can connect local branches to remote branches in your Subversion repository. This allows those of ... 32 bookmarks • 5 conversations • 5 comments • 0 diggs • 0 tweets
2.6	Apr 04, 08	1Password and Fluid.app	3 2 0
I' ve been really happy with my purchase of 1Password so far. If you' re not familiar with it, I would really recommend their free-trial. I' ve been really impressed with how quickly it became reliant upon it. 1Password works across several browsers, imports existing passwords, and even has integration with your iPhone. However, over the past month, I' ve been wishing that it worked with my Fluid applications. 1Password 2.6.BETA-2 was released a few days ago one of the ... 3 comments • 2 bookmarks • 0 diggs • 0 conversations • 0 tweets
4.2	Apr 04, 08	iPhone's Missing Feature	9 0 0
I love my iPhone. There I said it. There is one problem with it (and I don' t blame Apple for it). Multimedia Messaging is pretty much non-existent with non-iPhone friends family. My family continues to send me pictures/videos via text message because they can with their other friends and family. I find myself looking at the following message quite often.

Courtenay posted this a little while ago. git clone git://github.com/rails/rails.git Check it out the Ruby on Rails project on GitHub.

5.6	Mar 27, 08	Tip: Link to Unimplemented	14 11 0
Throughout our design and development process, we' re working around areas of the site that are not yet implemented but we also want to be able to allow our clients to demo their application. In an effort to manage their expectations, we need to be careful about what we link to. If a page/widget isn' t ready to be demo' d yet, we should avoid providing pathways to get interact with or navigate there. However, when we' re implementing HTML ... 14 bookmarks • 11 comments • 0 diggs • 0 conversations • 0 tweets
6.5	Mar 27, 08	Managing Required Gems on Rails Projects	17 13 1
We' re starting a new project and I' m finding myself adding things to the code base that we' ve done in the past hence the last few posts. As we' re doing this, I' d like to highlight some of the little things that we do on each project to maintain some consistency and in that process reach out to the community for alternative approaches. I' m intrigued by the vendor everything concept, but we haven' t yet adopted ... 17 comments • 13 bookmarks • 1 diggs • 1 conversation • 0 tweets
6.2	Mar 27, 08	Managing SEO-friendly HTML Titles with Rails	15 13 1
I' ve seen this come up a few times in the #rubyonrails IRC channel and figured that I' d post a quick entry for future reference. Problem: HTML titles You want to have a clean way to manage the titles on your HTML pages. html head title Robby on Rails mdash; Article Title Goes Here /title /head body ... Possible Solution(s): Since the title tag is usually declared in your layout, you need to be able to dynamically update this ... 15 comments • 13 bookmarks • 1 conversation • 0 diggs • 0 tweets
5.3	Mar 25, 08	Things (in the Rails world) You Don't Yet Understand	6 4 2
This is inspired by a recent post by Seth Godin titled, Things you don' t understand , where he shared a list of things that he probably could understand if he put your mind to it, but doesn' t. I decided to post a list of five (5) things in response within the context of Ruby/Rails. I' m really interested in various things but am really unable to prioritize them high enough to spend the time to understand them. RSpec ... 6 comments • 4 bookmarks • 2 conversations • 0 diggs • 0 tweets
9.5	Mar 25, 08	DRY(a): Year After Year	27 13 4
I' m guilty of it. Many of you are likely guilty of it and I know that several customers of our Rails Code Audit and Review service are guilty of it. How many times have you realized (after a few months has passed) that your Copyright date/year on your web site was no longer current? How many of you had the same problem last year? The year before? Let me share some advice with you all DRY (a)! Don' t ... 27 comments • 13 bookmarks • 4 conversations • 0 diggs • 0 tweets
5.3	Mar 11, 08	Learning Git without getting your SVN feet wet	12 1 0
Our team has been migrating towards using Git as our primary SCM . We have way too many Subversion-based projects and repositories to just do a clean switch over and not everybody on the team has had time to start playing with it. Baby-steps So, for those of us who want to use it day-to-day, we' re using git-svn . Andy Delcambre has posted the first in a series of blog articles to help you pick up on using Git ... 12 bookmarks • 1 comments • 0 diggs • 0 conversations • 0 tweets

Picture yourself and your laptop. It' s been over a day and you' re sitting on a train with a group of Rails developers with a view like this over your shoulder. Hacking and reading on the train. Enjoying the sceneary of the U.S.A. Two years ago a group of us went from Portland to Chicago for RailsConf 2006 on the Argon Express .

7.4	Mar 05, 08	Campfire messages in Growl	15 7 2
Our team has slowly been transitioning from IRC to Campfire (iPhone interface helped with this decision) for internal team discussions. Earlier today, I decided to setup Campfire to connect to Growl. There are a few scripts to do this, but I figured that I' d consolidate the steps here for my teammates and share with everyone else in the process. Step 1: Get stuff installed You' ll need to install the following programs on OSX . Growl (install and run ... 15 bookmarks • 7 comments • 2 conversations • 0 diggs • 0 tweets
5.0	Mar 02, 08	Launch your own RubyURL	6 1 0
A few weeks ago, I moved RubyURL from subversion to git. During that process, I decided to use my invite to GitHub and have decided to go ahead and open up the source code. It' s currently a whopping 92 LOC with a 1:2.5 code to spec ratio. (I had a goal to keep is below 100 LOC ) RubyURL on GitHub: http://github.com/robbyrussell/rubyurl Public Clone URL : git://github.com/robbyrussell/rubyurl.git Feel free to grab it and help contribute.
