Nice, Will. I didn't know Webby supported multiple deploy targets. I'll check that out.

Awesome, Jimbo! Although for the record, my reasons for moving away from Typo were implied in my last post ;-)

Webgen looks interesting. We've been really happy with Webby so far. Let us know what direction you go.

Great additions, Neil!

Thanks for the clarification, Ross. I think that is a better approach, than straight code gen. As a veteran web developer I just feel like I'm giving up too much control to the framework with Obj-J and Cappuccino.

D'oh! Good catch. I had left the RSS feed link out of the layout. You should see both Locomotivation and The Squeejee Blog now. Thanks!

Re: What is the Right Data Model?

Wynn Netherland — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 21:50:39 -0000

This is the first conversation we end up having with anyone after we show them MongoDB. You pretty much have to tackle your new app without bringing any pre-conceived ideas about data modeling because Mongo removes many of those constraints.

Re: MongoDB 0.9.7 Released

Wynn Netherland — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 17:40:34 -0000

Very cool, guys! Keep up the good work. It's nice to have such active development both from your team and the language communities around MongoDB.

Wynn Netherland — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:06:56 -0000

I guess that makes sense. Any plans to flesh out public profiles? I wanted to contribute in that area if you thought it made sense. It would be nice to see a list of another user's gems.

Re: Sass up your WordPress themes with Compass

Wynn Netherland — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 21:35:31 -0000

Thanks, Kevin. Yes, that's pretty much the heart of compass. In our case we were able to take the half dozen @import's in Thematic's default child theme and via partials compile that to a single CSS file. Here's how we broke it out:

I'm not sure how generic they'll end up, but I'm working on some thor scripts for downloading and installing, deploying, and data-syncing WordPress. I'll share on Github and post here when they're done.

Re: A new Ruby gem for the Readernaut API

Wynn Netherland — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 16:55:10 -0000

I can see your point. In this case I pretty much stuck with the API as-is. In an upcoming post I'll be covering API wrapper approaches and the virtues of being more language idiomatic vs. sticking with the API. I look forward to your comments on that one while I tinker with your idea here.

Re: What makes a good API wrapper?

Wynn Netherland — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:27:41 -0000

I tried that. Then it looked like I was trying to rub it, like a genie.

Re: Rubyists I’m thankful for this year

Wynn Netherland — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 22:07:28 -0000

True. It's kind of sad to think about all the new folks that are coming to Ruby that really don't know who he is, but he'll always cast a long shadow.
