SWFUpload – the Best File Upload Utility for Any Platform

Posted on January 15, 2008October 25, 2021

Uploading a file to a website is a pain. Uploading lots of files to a website makes the UN list of known methods of torture. At tonight’s ruby group meeting Dave South showed off SWFUpload. This has to be one of the best uses of Flash ever. Now to upload 50 files you just browse,…

Trek Project One Delayed

Posted on January 14, 2008November 1, 2021

During the winter I become a little less obsessed with bikes. The fact that the only place I have to ride is in my office on my trainer while it is 19 degrees outside doesn’t help. In spite of the winter cycling duldrums I have been looking forward to January 1 for a long time…

The Inflector Module – Another Reason to Love Rails

Posted on January 11, 2008October 25, 2021

I love how when you need something in Rails the solution is usually already in place. For instance in the indulgenc.es application I have the need to create a rank with 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. In most frameworks you would have to write this functionality yourself or if you are very lucky you might find…

(Shouldn’t we be on something more like government 232.0 or something…

Top Selling Stuff on Amazon Brings Tears

Posted on January 7, 2008November 1, 2021

I am always looking for a deal so I keep trying to find one on Amazon Grocery. The problem is that you can waste a lot of time trying to find something you would really buy. So I try the top sellers page: http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/grocery/ref=sv_gro_1/104-6217951-1925564 Notice the top sellers are baby items, coffee and diet pills…

Google Base and Windows Pain

Posted on January 5, 2008November 1, 2021

So I have been trying to figure out Google Base for the last week so that I can send all the house plans from The Plan Collection into the Google product feed. Getting your products into their feed isn’t that hard, but being a programmer and a masochist (they are the same thing you know)…
