Re: I'm becoming a Node.js developer

buildmaster — Wed, 29 Jan 2014 19:00:29 -0000

Deployment and management are definitely some of the weakest parts of the Node story.

If you haven't already it's worth checking out PM2 https://github.com/Unitech/pm2

A good little module for running your apps permanently, they also have a dashboard in development for monitoring. In my experience it's certainly been better than the alternatives (Upstart scripts etc)

Still a long way to go though.

Re: OAuth MVC.net Revisited

Hi David,
the easiest thing for me to do would be to supply you with the patch file for my changes to the devdefined oauth library.

http://cloud.github.com/dow...

apply it against the repository at http://devdefined-tools.goo...

cheers
Owen

I haven't used oslo for a while, but last time I installed there was a "Samples mode" link in the start menu. did you try that?

Thanks for the correction Josh, The HttpContextBase and ResponseBase classes are in 3.5sp1, originally they were in the work done for ASP.net MVC which led to my erroneous comment in the post.

I'll correct the post and we'll see if the patch is in Alex Henderson's repository.

I do, but only just realised that it supports OAuth, I'd actually only just recently come accross it to run with openid, I'll take a bigger look at it.

Re: OAuth on ASP.net MVC Projects

So you want to get an asp.net mvc site to connect to an API that is secured
by OAuth? Currently no there isn't such a thing, I would suggest getting
hold of my project and looking at the OAuthBase and how it's used, the
signing is the same on both ends (the server re-enacts the signing process
and then checks that the signatures are equal) that should give you
somewhere to start.
I'm going to write a couple of test client libraries but they're a week or
more away.

Thanks,
Had Douglas point out the start menu command (I still can't believe i missed that)

anyway hopefully someone will find this all useful :)

Re: Xero API + Ruby Revisited

buildmaster — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 19:43:33 -0000

Hey bohtho,
sorry for my tardiness in replying.

simply just put a require in to the top of the class file. Just copy the code into ruby.rb and as long as their is an include statment that tells ruby where to load the file from ie if it's in the same directory: include 'xero.rb'
then you can create a new instance of the Xero object using Xero.new(”http://xeronetworkurl”,”MyAPIKey”);

and use the methods as described.

There are other ways to use it too. you can include it on a base controller to stop you having to include it with every class etc.

It's not quite plugin ready, but there might be a good reason to start distributing it as a gem, i'll have to think about it.

Cheers
Owen

Re: Connecting to the Xero API: Part 1 [Ruby, GET, Contacts]

buildmaster — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 00:10:16 -0000

true phone and addresses need to hold the contact id.

Anyway in my follow up post with HTTParty you don't need to rely on these migrations and the API is much much easier.

Agreed that we really want a great payment system
when i say “I REALLY want to like this system” I mean it.
However I just can’t help but be a little disappointed with the execution.

Also welington needs a much more combined system for payment, I can’t believe i can’t use the same ticket system to buy a ticket to the Hutt Valley, or to Johnsonville as both of these are run by companies other than Go Wellington (even though Hutt Valley is still Stagecoach)

Hopefully all my misgivings will be ironed out, but it seems to me they tried too hard to reinvent the wheel.

Oh and my biggest misgiving is the way that drivers are reacting to the system.

Originally left by Karen:

I’m goin to come out in support of Snapper here, sure there will always be teething troubles but haven’t we the geek community be screaming out for a contactless payment solution for years?
I remember playing with the cards years ago, even doing demo’s of them with the chips in the back of your phone and looking at models for starting them in New Zealand but it needed a large transport or essential service company to really start driving the usage.
I’ll admit I wasn’t going to get one until the USB came out so I could top it up myself but now that I have it, I am loving the convenience and hope we start to see more small payment vendors adopt it.

This was originally left by Nic Wise:
"I agree. No online topups, and charging for topups, is kinda naff. Almost as bad as charging for a loyalty card. I like the london bus system tho - one charge. None of this zones nonsense. But I’d think they could atleast have a UPS or something for the system, so it’s not dependant on the bus power supply!!"

"You can feed your Snapper online and need not go to a store."

Not quite as easy as it should be though, you need equipment.

"You'll need a Snapper Feeder for your Snapper card, or be trialling our a Snapper USB which can be fed directly."

i got the top up fee wrong, 50 cents is the auto topup fee, so I'll edit the post appropriately.

still have some serious quarms about the thing but hey fingers crossed it gets better
