Hi! Welcome to the personal blog of Jason Stirk (Griffin) - a curious young web application developer currently living in Lismore, NSW (yes, that's in Australia). I currently run my own busness - Achernar Solutions. You can hire me if you like.
These days I tend to work mainly with Ruby and Ruby on Rails, although I've also also done my fair share of work with PHP, and administrating various flavours of Linux servers.
See more about what I do at Achernar Solutions.
or, view the full archive of posts.
Seems I'm spread all over the net these days...
These are some of the projects that I'm currently involved with - either as a business venture, or as a freelancer.
Here are a few trendy folks that I know, or have worked with.
It was an awesome game, but that's not what I meant! I meant FEEDS! Of the RSS and ATOM flavours! Get them while they're still meaty!
This is a wrapper (bash) script for making it simpler to use Ben Sinclair's Ben's Rails Browser application when you work on multiple Rails applications.
Place rails_vh somewhere in your path and make sure they're executable. You will need to edit the two variables at the top of the script (marked with CONFIGURATION) to tell it where things are.
ROOT - The root directory where all your rails applications are stored. I have a directory with Symlinks to all of my current projects to make it easy to find them. rails_vh uses these directory names to find the application you want.
RBPATH - The path to Ben Sinclair's application (rb). If everything is set up nicely (ie. rb in the path) you can just have rb with no path.
Of course, if you don't have bash, you should probably change the first line to your shell of choice. I can't confirm everything will work though - if you do make the change, please let me know any problems you hit.
This is just a wrapper script for Ben Sinclair's Ben's Rails Browser , which you can get from his website at http://blog.bensinclair.com/Blog/view/136.
Run the script using:
rails_vh directory
Where directory is the directory your application is stored in under the ROOT variable set above. For instance, to work on a project in the "goodwork.com" directory, you just type:
rails_vh goodwork.com
Optionally, you can add the --server argument after the directory to fork an xterm running the WEBrick server for this application. Again, if you don't have xterm (on a Mac maybe?) then please let me know what changes you make.
The usual --version and --help arguments will also give you useful information.
