Textmate Footnotes Plugin in Ruby on Rails

August 24 at 1:49 pm - Link

This plugin saves you time when moving between your browser and Textmate. It adds clickable links to the Rails backtrace when an error occurs, and clickable “footnotes” to the bottom of each page (in development mode only). These links open the correct file in Textmate and move your cursor to the precise line of interest. Install with: cd myapp git clone git://github.com/drnic/rails-footnotes.git vendor/plugins/footnotes rm -rf vendor/plugins/footnotes/.git - Josh Babetski

Geez, that is a lot. Should be good. It went from 20 to 40 to 50 to 52. I suggest you drop the number from its name in the future. Just call it TechCrunch Conference. :) - Frank Gruber

I'm sure those two extra start-ups are even more grateful for the opportunity. awesome that "50" was more of a guideline. - Josh Babetski

Terminal Tip: Burning a disc

August 12 at 7:52 pm - Link

did you know that you can burn discs right from the Terminal window with a simple command and a drag/drop? Just enter the following command followed by the path to a folder or disk image: drutil burn filehere Don't type the "filehere" -- that's where you put the path to the file/folder that you wish to burn. You can either type the location manually or drag and drop the file onto the Terminal window. But that's not all you can do with drutil; you can also eject media from the optical drive by typing "drutil eject." To see all of the available drutil options, just type in drutil for a quick list or man drutil for a full description. - Josh Babetski

What's Keeping Me?

Did you ever have the problem where you can’t empty the Trash or eject a disk because something is preventing you? Usually the reason is because some application has a file open, and thus you can’t get rid of the disk or trash the file. - Josh Babetski

filed under "one brave mofo!" Maybe Bush should experience waterboarding so he can prove it is not torture? - Jason Calacanis via Bookmarklet

@Jason Calacanis - agreed, I'd love to see the press conference after he was waterboarded to see his composure. "It was no big deal, like a massage. I set an appointment for another one next week!" - Damien Franco

Christopher Hitchens is one of my heroes. The guy is just spot on almost constantly. - Akiva Moskovitz

Thats nothing compared to this advert of Waterboarding -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... - AJ Batac

That's an excellent piece. It is also a strong reminder of the importance of good writers putting themselves out there and relaying the experience to the rest of us. - Thomas Brox Røst

He didn't last long at all. I doubt anyone the military was doing this to would be so kindly set upon the board and have the directions for their torture explained to them so nicely either. - Yolanda
