Nope, didn't see any 2.0 patches yet. But i'll continue to monitor the news and there will be update here once i find something.

On new projects. There are still older projects to maintain though, and upgrading ruby is not always the most business value :)

I personally don't think so, although i agree that it somewhat borderline.

You still collect all the info you can about the user in your database, probably you have some local app statistics as well, to show user engagement with you app, you have google analytics and other 3 parties gathering statistics about your users etc.

And if you already have access to all the info user provided you, like his names/phones/what have you, access to _how_ this was entered is less obtrusive.

You welcome to replicate their service. I would assume that it's not that easy, they work on it for couple of years now.

I don't know much about the inner works of clicktale service, just made an integration of their stuff into rails.

Didn't see any effect on client side performance. We have couple of our clients use it on production sites for about half a year now, and it looks pretty solid and performant.

It does bring clicktale javascripts, that are about 2.5K in size. Which is reasonable, if you ask me.

Re: Yes We Can. "require" over HTTP, That Is.

@James Britt - Yes, we saw your implementation after we've done our own.

Guess we bound to reinvent the wheel from time to time.

This one is probably easier to implement than to do extensive research on previous work.

@Vidar So you actually prefer this really cumbersome cronjobrsyncoversshplustests method to pretty simple line require "http://github.com/youraccount/yourproject/yourfile.rb?

Over the same ssh?

Really?

Maybe i'm missing something, but i can't really see any difference security-wise, but the http_require solution seems much more clean and rubiish to me

Re: Rediscovering HAML

Michael Mazyar — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 12:19:00 -0000

Well, "allow me to retort" (c) :)

1 - HAML is in no way prevent you from exercising your knowledge in HTML, CSS or JS. Where applicable - just write pure html/css or javascript, this is what we do in case there is a need for that. Mostly JS, can't think of situation when i need something from pure html that i can't get from HAML

2 - It's open source, MIT-License software, which basically give you(or anybody else) all rights to do whatever you want with it. So even if the original author abandon it for some reason, development can be picked up by the community, and this is what usually happens if the software was worth using in the first place.

3 - we actually are not designers and all our design work(except for our own site) comes from our subcontractors. And yet i don't see any problem in our day to day work, and our switch to using HAML didn't affect it whatsoever.
