stikipad
I like stikipad, but I am glad when I was deciding which wiki to use I didn’t go with stikipad.

I am current playing with porting my wiki pages to Google Site. My experience so far is that the UI is nice, displaying code is a bit of pain until I figure...

Rudeness
One of the reason I like Ruby community is the friendliness.
But a few comments on this post is not a demonstration of that friendliness. I am sure Dan totally gets the concepts and he wrote a followup post about it. I am just interested to see if the idiotic comments come back.

Git pager
By default Git uses less as a pager. That is very cool because to look at logs you no longer have to pipe the output to less yourself.
But something didn’t work very well for me until I finally couldn’t take it anymore. The problem was that for some reason my Git output in less is displaying weird chars that looks like ESC at beginning of lines.
I found the culprit to be one of my env...

Sure way to dump DB schema into ruby using jdbc :)

e.g.
require 'rubygems'
require 'active_record'
ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(

Romey mashup
I was reading Tim’s post which reminded me that I had implemented similar things with Romey. Basically because I was running Romey on a Mac Mini at home and didn’t want to make it accessible over the internet I created another way to create transactions in Romey. It was done with a POP account at my ISP, ruby script running by cron on the Mac Mini. I stopped running the cron job since...
