When you are working with projects in the command line all day, it can be really annoying to have to remember the exact location of everything. Often when programming against a gem in Ruby, it can be really useful to read over the documentation. Adding a couple lines to your .bash_profile can make loading up [...]
ABC News is a respectable news organization, right? I thought so too. That’s why I’m mystified by the abundance of shockingly bad Photoshopped pictures on their website.
It’s been my hobby to collect these visual Frankensteins for the past few months. They range from simply poor in quality:
to tacky:

We have been trying to work with some different Ruby technologies lately. We are moving to RSpec from Test::Unit, because we believe it has several advantages. It also seems all the cool projects are moving to RSpec: Rubinius, Typo, Mephisto, and of course Merb.
In learning these two technologies together, I have found a few resources [...]
People are complaining that GoDaddy censored a security site, bid against customers in domain auctions (more), and totally screwed up .me registrations. There’s even an entire site dedicated to exposing GoDaddy’s problems.

Niel sent the actually Power Point which you can check out for yourself, product-management-v1.
We have met with Niel Robertson before, but this was the first time we got to see him present a topic. He [...]
A little under two weeks ago, we had the opportunity to give a quick presentation/demo of Devver to our fellow TechStars and a few investors.
We worked on the presentation/demo a fair amount. We tweaked the slides to convey both our current focus as well as our broader vision. We created an entire fake website to [...]
After being asked by just about everyone what our company’s Twitter account was, we finally created one. We now have our very own Devver Twitter account. You can follow us to see what we are up to, and comment about Devver on Twitter with the all-powerful @devver symbol. Hopefully we will have some interesting thoughts [...]

I also wanted to add one thought to sort of [...]
