5 things I’m in love with
In no specific order, but enumerated for good measure:
autotest– dogem install ZenTest, go to root of rails app or gem, and typeautotest. It just keeps on testing. Awesome.cap deploy– actually I typecap mt_deployas we’re deploying to MediaTemple at the moment- My new MacBook – needed a new laptop, wanted something 12-13″, and component-for-component the 13″ MacBook is cheaper than 12″ Dell. I’m in love – not because its a Mac blah blah blah – but because its shiny and new. But I am enjoying the OSX ecosystem, nonetheless.
- TextMate: the Book – so… many… shortcuts… to… learn. This book just makes it worse by showing you so many more fabulous things you can do with TextMate.
- Stockholm winter – we’ve had some great snow over the last week, and subsequently lots of snow fights to and from the restaurants at lunch time.
Life is good.

How are you liking Media Temple right now? I’ve been thinking about putting up a site and was eying up their grid service.
@james – initial setup was relatively easy-pease, as they have a helper gem with some capistrano recipes. Unfortunately, their easy-to-setup rails deployments only support a single mongrel. Single mongrel = single request at a time (non-cached requests specifically, as cached requests are handled in parallel by mongrel).
So, beyond early alpha releases and toy apps, its hard to recommend.
Welcome to the dark side!
Dr Nic – have you looked at the latest Netbeans support for Ruby in the daily builds – has code complete apparently – wonder if this will overrun textmate for Ruby development on the Mac?

but fellow non-conformist.. this means you’re not special anymore…
Was wondering when you’d join the darkside. ’twas only a matter of time, muhahahaar.
@Tim + choonkeat + sam – I’ve not joined the dark side. I’m an imposter. A spy. It is all part of a cunning plan.
@Greg – I’m certainly interesting in all IDEs for Ruby + Rails; so it will be interesting to see what they come up with.
dr nic, how could you after getting drunk with the rad rails team at railsconf? anyways, now that you have some nice hardware, time to look at putting ubuntu on it. i also second the netbeans ide lookover. head over to charles nutter’s blog and take a look at the screencasts.
