Installing RadRails for Eclipse
Tuesday, December 9th, 2008 | Anything | No Comments
After having quite a few problems getting this working (with multiple versions of java and eclipse), I found this article: http://howflow.com/tricks/install_rails_development_ide_aptana_radrails_on_ubuntu_8, which made my life a hell of a lot easier. Check it out if you’re having problems.
Dubstep, duuuubstep
Monday, October 27th, 2008 | Anything | No Comments
It’s taken a while to latch on, but I’ve begun to really like dubstep, from the more chilled out aspects of it to the dark and dirty, it’s all good. Next Void night is on the 7th, can’t wait to groove!
Google Chrome - New Version!
Wednesday, October 15th, 2008 | Anything | No Comments
After having played with Google Chrome the past month and a bit (and absolutely loving it!) there are some little quirks that mean i can’t quite yet make it my default browser. For example:
- It has issues with secure websites (sometimes they don’t even load)
- It seems a little anal when it comes to security
- I’ve had some bizarre render issues with bank admins (for transferring cash.etc.)
- Bookmarks! Apart from adding to your bar (which is a rather convoluted process)
Capistrano Callbacks
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008 | Code | No Comments
After a short period of time realizing that I need to do some custom calls via my capistrano deployment, and with thanks to Alex Ooi’s help, was able to add a callback task, like so:
namespace :deploy do
# Create custom mount
task :mount do
run "ln -s target directory"
end
end
In order to have this run, earlier in your deploy.rb script, simply add:
after :deploy, "deploy:mount"
Done!
Return of the Mac

Bought myself a Macbook Pro over the weekend, and what an awesome piece of computing possibilities it is. Played around with it the whole weekend pretty much and got my development environment going. Now I just need to set it up for PHP as well and I’ll be all set (It’s currently enabled for Ruby/Rails). Sitting in front of the TV is now actually interesting.
