June 23, 2011: Distributed Magic Control
1. Today’s News: Github for Mac Odds are you heard this one already, but the fine folks at GitHub announced a Mac desktop client. It differs from, say, GitX in that it attempts to be a front end to your entire GitHub account rather than one particular repo. I haven’t used it a ton yet,...
Using SproutCore 2.0 with jQuery UI
One of the goals of SproutCore 2.0 is to make it trivial to integrate the tools you’re already using together with SproutCore. One way that we do that is to make it possible to drop a SproutCore app into a small part of your existing page. Greg Moeck did a great job demonstrating this functionality...

June 21, 2010: Double Double Splat Splat
Link post today. Turns out I built up more links than I thought. Book Status Somehow I wound up writing and editing the Rcov chapter, which, among other things, is the first time I’ve had to wrestle with RSpec 2 vs. RSpec 1 behavior, when writing about how RSpec and Rcov get along. Now I...
jQuery 1.4 and Malformed JSON
Today, we released jQuery 1.4, a mostly backward compatible release with a few minor quirks. One of these quirks is that jQuery now uses the native JSON parser where available, rejecting malformed JSON.
This probably sounds fine, except that by malformed JSON, we mostly mean:
{foo: "bar"}
Because this is valid JavaScript, people have long assumed it was...

jQuery Grid Rails Plugin – I keep meaning to look at the jQuery datagrid. Maybe this will encourage me.

I’ve had better mornings.
Quicksilver Beta – Seems to work fine with Snow Leopard, though the web site is a mess.

jQuery Tools version 1.1.1 – Lots of good...
Ubiquity meets RubyURL
Alex Malinovich decided to take some time this afternoon to write a Ubiquity command for RubyURL using the new RubyURL API. You can take a look at Alex’s Ubiquity code for RubyURL. He’s taking advantage of the JSON support that I added to RubyURL this weekend and JQuery....
