Its really not worth worrying about --- just a fun little experiment, you're not missing much. Looks like the guys at Appcelerator removed some old downloads or something. The source code can be found on github: git://github.com/rvanmelle/...

Don't know anything about platypus... however, if you want a docked icon, you should really be creating a proper app bundle and using xcode for that. They have a great Ruby integration for building Ruby apps in xcode, so no need to an external script in that case; you can just include the script code as part of your app.

Reid van Melle — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 18:17:42 -0000

Yeah, you can certainly create an actual app and include a bundle etc., but this was intended to be the super-fast non-xcode way to do it--- admittedly a bit hackish (or a lot), but it works. So for a quick and dirty job, I think its OK. Certainly you can't ship this as a product solution.

Typically, you would create a rake file in ${RAILS_ROOT)/lib/tasks such "paperclip.rake". Then you can insert the code into that file and run the rake command from the RAILS_ROOT directory.

Re: Brierwood Design: No Really, Why a Coop?

Are you in Canada and/or Ontario? If so, there is a great co-op developer that we've worked with.

Re: Brierwood Design: Using Paperclip with Test Fixtures

Reid van Melle — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 08:59:50 -0000

Glad to hear. With these esoteric unfocused blogs, sometimes you feel like you're talking to the ether, but it is all worthwhile when you can help out even one person. Good luck.

Re: Brierwood Design: No Really, Why a Coop?

Reid van Melle — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 08:33:49 -0000

This is definitely something of concern. To address these, co-operatives often have internal capital accounts which you build-up as you work there. Since the co-operative may have real value in terms of assets and cash, this is used to track your portion of that value. Internal capital accounts can be setup in a variety of manners and forms.

We looked at Freshbooks and even tried it out. It seemed pretty good but we ended up going a different route. In the end, we were very happy mostly because of some Co-op and, for me, this very nice Mac desktop widget for time tracking with Harvest. I'm going to check out Spanning Sync. However, the contact and calendar syncing has a broader context since we would like to tied it into our company collaborative environment which means looking at CRM solutions and maybe starting with Google Calendar again.

As for Basecamp... well, we're not sold. We're using it and it works, but it is definitely not ideal. We actually preferred Remember the Milk for task lists and it had some nice features like recurring events, tags, and integrations for the iPhone and Desktop. However, Basecamp has some other nice features, most of which we're not using. I haven't tried Pivotal Tracker, but I'll check it out. Thanks.

Glad to head things are progressing for you in Vancouver. Sorry I missed your going away party.

Thanks... glad it brought some cheer somewhere. A classic like Tetris never dies. Funny, that version was originally a fun experiment to write an entire SVG javascript client using LISP macros. Now it serves as a nice test piece when trying out new technologies, because in the end you actually have something engaging to show. We intend to build some real applications using this type of desktop technology very soon :)

I'm not sure where the kudos belong. I usually run into these things when they first come out being an avid reddit-based-procrastinator. But not always... you might have turned me onto one of these :)

Thanks for this Bryan, I'm just checking it out now. This may be the final piece of the puzzle that will make my life perfect once again.

Re: Brierwood Design: Why SproutCore is Important

Reid van Melle — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 20:08:00 -0000

CouchDB is indeed very interesting though we haven't had a chance to use it for anything yet... PRISM is a new one for me though my experiences with XUL-based stuff has been pretty negative. I'll check it out. Thanx.

Re: Brierwood Design: So you wanna' build an analog RF simulator? Part I

Reid van Melle — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 12:39:30 -0000

No, there is very little functional about the math when building a traditional circuit simulator. I'm behind on my follow-up post, but the existing code using OCaml GNU Scientific Library bindings which is a completely stateful API. If you have good bindings for Haskell, that might be a good starting point.

Re: Brierwood Design: Goodbye Facebook!

Reid van Melle — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 14:55:14 -0000

Interesting related techcrunch article here: http://www.techcrunch.com/2...

QUOTE: "Facebook is probably less concerned with identity - there is no branded URL for users, for example. But they do want to own the definitive profile for an individual and, more importantly, their social graph. Knowing who you are and who your friends are is the key to their yet-unrealized business model."

I don't want Facebook to own my profile or my social graph.

ANOTHER UPDATE:

Updated the project wiki on bitbucket:

http://bitbucket.org/rvanme...

There are instructions for building, compiling, and a link to the ocamldoc documentation. I'll likely remove the source from our website since the wiki is working fine.
