We’re trying to prep our house to put it on the market. This sucks down a great deal of time, and explains why posting may be spottier than usual for a little bit.

Woo, starting another consulting job today, without a speck of MS stuff in sight. I feel all vindicated and stuff.
- iStat Menus – There are about a million different Mac system monitors out there. This one is free and doesn’t take up screen real estate when you don’t want it to.
- VSS to SVN: Part 3 – This tutorial for source code control switchers continues.
- Ruby on Rails EC2 ‘Appliance’ – Practically turnkey Rails deployment to the Amazon server cloud. (via Ruby Insie)
- Sake Bomb – Sake is system-wide Rake. Looks like it still has some warts, but is already useful

If you like challenges, I can recommend LSL. It’s certainly one of the more hack-inducing, infuriating languages I’ve ever tried to work in.
- tumblr – Tumblelog software that can automatically import RSS feeds, and thus becomes another tool for lifestreaming. They’re coming out of the woodwork now.
- Capistrano security fun – Turns out there’s an information leak in the default use of Capistrano. Not a real high pri issue for most sites, but a bit sloppy. (via Ruby Inside)
- Customize Your Rake Files – To make rcov behave the way you want it to.

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.
