Hello, Finally you can host all those sinatra apps you have been building on Dreamhost. They have Phusion Passenger 2.0 RC 2 and it can run Rack based apps like Sinatra, Merb, Camping, etc.. I had to do some hacking to get this to work for some reason doing require ‘sinatra’ was not loading, so I had to do an absolute require and then it all worked great. I created something simple with Sinatra being hosted on Dreamhost. check it out! modrails.fernyb.net

LA Ruby Meetup was very cool. So I was the first to be at the scene. I helped bring the food to the room since I was in the lobby and greeted by Jody. I meet and greeted all of the LA Times people. Also meet some guy from Yahoo!, sorry I forgot your name already, and one from heroku, BizQuest another from PGP, and another from Experian. As-well as more but I sorta forgot everyones name already… or at least I can’t remember them, yet.

If you’re in the Los Angeles Area check it out.
Yellowpages.com will be hosting LA Ruby Meetup #2 on July 17 2008, so mark that in your calendar. Join the Yahoo Group, LARuby

Less than one week after the release of Rails 2.1, was launched in Brazil the first book describing all the new features of this release.

After the launch of the book in Portuguese, the Brazilian community united to translate the book into English.

Done! A gift from all Brazilian Railers to the international community.

This is probably one of the better videos I have seen from Pico Rivera Skateboarding. As many of you know I used to do some really serious skateboarding. I still skateboard just not that serious about it and yes it is still fun, in weekends you will probably find me there. Watch this video montage it is cool.

Ever since I been to Pixel Eye Germany I have not found anything better for a visual resource. It has some really good work and till this day I am still amazed. It’s good stuff. Check it out. www.pixeleyegermany.de

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

String.class_eval {
  define_method(:translate_to) do |lang|
    text = case lang
           when :spanish
           "Buenos Dias, Como estas hoy?"
           when :english
           "Good Morning, How are you today?"
           else
           "I don't speak any other language."
           end
  end
}

puts "Sentence".translate_to :spanish
# => Prints out "Buenos Dias, Como estas hoy?"

puts "Sentence".translate_to :english
# => Prints out "Good Morning, How are you today?"

puts "Setenece".translate_to :portuguese
# => Prints out "I don't speak any other language."

puts "Sentence"
# => Prints out "Sentence"

So while messing round I made this in Ruby… I’m not sure if it is considered meta programming? Well, it’s just adding a method to the String class. I get confused when to consider things to be meta programming.. Maybe I over think about it.

So I received an invite for heroku a while ago. I never really used it. Want an invite to check out heroku.com? I have many invites to give away. Want one? just leave your email and I will send you one your way!

Dreamhost now supports mod_rails Passanger.

Citywaboo.com – What can I say about this place? First off it’s a cool place the people are good people. Lot’s of memories of good laughs and pizza for lunch and then there was Christmas Dinner at a brazilian restaurant. I remember my very first day at the office, it was different just listening to a different language being spoken, Armenian, I think it was the very first time I have ever heard that language and I was like “uh, what are they saying….” but I picked up a few words. I meet many people many sales people and a few programmers, good ones and horrible ones.

I think to myself and say wow, I have done so much work and this website was largely done by me. I’m not taking all the credit for the site, but to think about it I really did lot’s of the work, and it was practically rewritten once from it’s original code-base which I also was a part of… 

Overall, I feel happy with everything I have done.

As life goes on, I will officially be leaving citywaboo.com on May 16, 2008
( Feb 2006 – May 2008). It’s been a great ride and thanks to everyone at citywaboo.com for everything. Really, I mean that.

Thanks.

So even if you have never set-upped a Rails Application to Production server there is still hope for you. Introducing Passenger a mod_rails for Apache… Make it super simple to deploy apps just like PHP. Check it out over at modrails.com 

I have finally unlocked one of my iPhones, so now it can run on t-mobile. Luckily I have two iPhones one that I mess around with and the other which I do use on a everyday basis. If incase anyone wants to use my custom firmware I created here it is for download, I assume you can put your iPhone into recovery mode and use the custom firmware to get your phone unlocked. Always be aware of you are doing.

When ever I use the Zend Framework and I want to use the mvc components I always need to create the structure, though it can be a bit of a pain I have wrote a script to speed up that process. The script I wrote will create the mvc framework for you. It downloads a copy of it and uncompresses it. Check it out. on DZone

My Pownce t-shirt has arrived

While I read post by post about FriendFeed I try to ignore it until today, it got me, So I signed up and you know what? friendfeed sucks, I don’t get it… Everyone is raving about it, it just seems to be everywhere you read. It just seems like a jaiku clone with some extensions. So case in point I have an account with friendfeed and there is no point to friendfeed nothing new, nothing original, & nothing creative. It almost seems like friendfeed could be a feature in a social network then it would make better sense..
