Pro Git Bloggin'

Our very own international man of mystery Scott Chacon has been blogging some great blogs over at the Pro Git site recently:

AB Testing with Google Analytics

I love AB testing. I think it is either related to the fact I did a year of Maths at university before switching to Computer Science or because human psychology fascinates me. Either way when I launched 5ft Shelf I was keen to test lots. First on the agenda was the default shelf view. For those not familiar with the site you can view a shelf of books in one of two ways – cover view or spine view as we call it on the site (see screenshots – click to enlarge).

Ooh la la: Paperclip et les European S3 buckets

At the end of my last blog about Paperclip I mentioned that you need to do some patching if you want to use European S3 buckets to store your files.

The Path to Rails 3: Greenfielding new apps with the Rails 3 beta

Upgrading applications is good sport and all, but everyone knows that greenfielding is where the real fun is. At least, I love greenfielding stuff a lot more than dealing with old ghetto cruft that has 1,900 test failures (and 300 errors), 20,000 line controllers, and code that I’m pretty sure is actually a demon-brand of PHP.

Rails 3 Beta is Out — A Retrospective

The Rails team has finally released the Rails 3 beta, after more than a year since the Rails and Merb teams started working on this release. You can read all about it at the official Rails blog, but I figured I’d take the opportunity to share my take on the release.

First of all, you’re probably sick of hearing this, but we’ve done far, far more than we ever expected. A lot of that happened in the last few weeks.

Multiple Domain Page Caching

The other day Brandon Wright emailed me about the following tweet:

Just deployed full page caching on Harmony. Our log file stopped spinning by which made me happy and sad.

The Ruby Show 104: Something New

In this monumental episode, Jason and Dan announce both the end of something old and the beginning of something new, and of course cover all the latest Ruby and Rails news.

Episode 104: Something New

Episode #104: Something new. I’m sad to say that this will be the last episode of the Rails Envy podcast. I’m happy to say that Dan and I will be doing The Ruby Show which will follow the same general flow of Rails Envy. There’s no need to update your feeds (though you can if you’d like) because the feed will redirect for the foreseeable future. We’ve also got some other fun stuff planned like The Dev Show so stay tuned!
