Why “Double Shot”? Why not? My daily links column over at Larkware is called “Daily Grind,” so somehow that just seems to fit. Well, at least as much as anything fits.
- Shiny new Subversion and Trac cluster – The Rails team has just gotten a server upgrade, and having checked out a new Edge tree last night, I can confirm that it’s a whole lot faster. There’s also a change of URL for the Rails Subversion repository, though the old URL will continue to work. Here’s some info on switching an existing checkout to point to the new URL.
- Streamlined 0.0.7.1 – I blinked and missed the announcement a few days ago, but the plugin version of this tool for building spiffy Rails views is out now.
- Show database migration versions with Rake – A simple Rake task to pull the current version out of the database. I imagine this could be useful in a busy shop with multiple devs writing migrations.
- Site5 Deployment Problems with Capistrano > 1.2 – A fix to some mystery Capistrano permissions problems. I think it’s a feature, but this could still be pretty helpful if you hit the same situation.
- Getting Started with Subversion on OS X – Ben Wong has some basic information.
Basic information? I like to think of it more as concise information. :P
Mike,
Just discovered your blog (via James Higgs’s blog) and thought I’d wish you the best with your move away from Microsoft and into Rails. I’m currently a .NET developer by day, developing Rails applications in my spare time using a Mac – something I’d like to turn around to a full time occupation. I look forward to hearing how your migration turns out; I think you’ll enjoy the Rails community.
Good luck,
Ben
