Growlnotify Leopard incompatibility workaround : hasseg.org

ivanoats — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 07:31:51 PDT

I Have a bunch of custom shell scripts that I use for various things, and most of them use the growlnotify utility that is distributed with Growl to display messages to the user. Unfortunately, as of this writing, growlnotify has some issues with Leopard and thus messages sent through it will be displayed only intermittently

Testing your Rails views with Hpricot — Luke Redpath

ivanoats — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 00:17:57 PST

Rails comes with the built-in assert_tag method but I've always found it clunky and a pain in the arse to use. By combining the Hpricot library and a few useful helper functions, you can now test the output of your Rails views in Test::Unit::TestCase easily using Hpricot's support for CSS selector searches.

Andrzej on Software: A Guide to Deploying Rails Applications

ivanoats — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 10:48:10 PST

I decided to start with a documentation of my deployment/development process. Then, I automated and simplified all I could and had time to. The result is a semi-automatic process which helps me with creating applications. This process is specialised for my needs and it uses the tools that I found useful. It doesn't have to be good for your needs. All the setup was focused on agility. I love to check-in frequently and be able to see the changes immediately on the production server. That's why I use tools like Capistrano or Vlad.
