Gyre Debugging, the Rails Way

There are many excellent components in the Rails developer toolchain: Ruby, RubyGems, Rails, Mongrel, Cerberus. But one thing that is missing is a visual debugger. Gyre is an attempt to fill that gap.

When you think of IDEs you probably think: bloated, monolithic, and closed-source. Forget all that. If we’re gonna have a Rails debugger, dammit, we’re gonna do it the Rails Way: simple, fast, cross-platform, web-centric, open source, and written in Ruby.

Partition table recovery using TestDisk is really easy.

liberty-belarus.info - Реформа сельского хозяйства в Новой Зеландии Новая Зеландия является одной из немногих стран ОЭСР, которая отказалась от субсидий сельскохозяйственным производителям, от административного регулирования цен и предприняла уникальную реформу сельского хозяйства, направленную на установление механизмов свободного рынка. Начиная с 1984 года, программа субсидий сельскому хозяйству была отменена как одна из составных частей общей системной реформы экономики. В результате реформ была улучшена производительность в аграрном секторе и обеспечен устойчивый экономический рост по всей экономике.

World Economic Forum - Global Information Technology Report

Since it was first launched in 2001, the Global Information Technology Report has become a valuable and unique benchmarking tool to determine national ICT strengths and weaknesses, and to evaluate progress. It also highlights the continuing importance of ICT application and development for economic growth.

The Report uses the Networked Readiness Index (NRI), covering a total of 115 economies in 2005-2006, to measure the degree of preparation of a nation or community to participate in and benefit from ICT developments.

Now you can easily embed your Google MyMaps into your blog or website using this handy utility called MyMaps (Plus).

Users are required to register for a free acount before they start. Create your MyMap using Google maps (you’ll need a Google account to accomplish this). Then use the MyMaps Plus create form to generate the required code. One thing that may be tricky is coming up with your Googlemap API code (I registered for mine ages ago and can’t seem top locate it!). Add a title, description, keywords, related weblinks, KLM file, and provide your maps API key. Once completed you’ll be able to grab the code needed so you can embed your MyMap into your blog or website. What’s way cool is the ability to change the default placemarker… SWEET!

goldberg — integrated site design for ruby on rails Goldberg is a Ruby on Rails generator that enables you to set up fully-featured websites within minutes.

Goldberg is a holistic solution with security, site navigation and content management all designed to work together. When users log in they have access to actions and pages based on their permissions. The site’s menu adapts to display only the items allowed for each user.

Secure Websites with Ease

Ease of installation and use are key concerns in Goldberg’s design. Goldberg acts as a secure framework that wraps itself around your application, but with independence on both sides. You don’t have to write any Goldberg-specific code into your application; conversely you don’t have to hack Goldberg to make it work with your application. There are no APIs or complex tagging systems to learn. Goldberg is configured via a simple management interface that comes out-of-the-box.

As a Rails developer, you want to focus on making Rails work for you. Goldberg’s role is to take care of your site—to provide security and navigational controls. You can put your Rails application models/views/controllers into Goldberg, assign appropriate permissions, and add them to your site’s menu quickly and easily.
