I'm working in some cool GIS stuff using some shapefiles so i've finished using postgis... well... that was the idea, but i had some issues trying to setup everything in my mac so after some research i've found a gist that saved my life and here it is with some minor modifications. Hopefully in a few days i'll upload a tele script for it.
I have the urge to find simple solutions to complex problems, in that mad quest i've found myself reading extremely long libraries that do things in complicated ways just to have more 'features'. Nowdays the web only wants to add realtime in any sentence and thanks to HTML5 and Websockets it's a pretty easy thing to do but... doing that with ruby gets overcomplicated.
Gerbil is my attempt to use a really simple (for real) tdd framework in js, both browser and node.js. The main idea is to provide a simple way to test certain behaviours like assert, assertEqual, assertThrow, etc. Currently the API in really simple and will eventually include some cool features.
I've been wandering in the Ruby world a year now, from Rails to Sinatra. But sometimes i'd really want things simpler and perhaps more clean of developing web applications. Specially when you can get something fast and get total control. Thats when i've found Cuba a great web framework.
My journey starting over a blog in a way i really like. The quirks and things i must do to make this blog what it is today. So, after many years having (almost) a blog I've chose the best way of having one, using the incredible http://pages.github.com. I started the migration a few days ago and i found that for a developer like me having a git-powered blog is the only way to blog.
