\o/ \o/ Tweetcetera is now live! After several development weeks, it’s finally out!.
What’s Tweetcetera …
Tweetcetera is meant to look similar to Twitter web interface, so that you don’t need to learn how to use a new website. But we have added some nice features, which we felt were missing from the original product.

This week was the Rails Rumble week end.
For them who don’t know, the Rails Rumble is a 48H ruby web development competition. In this period of time your team (up to 4 people) has to create the best web application possible.
As last year, I went solo this year, and came up with Planet Toaster.
What is [...]
I had a problem last week, while developing tweetcetera. I need to use open-uri to open the twitter search url.
BUT, when I develop/test from from my office, I needed to pass through my corporate proxy. Obviously not when I’m at home, and not on my staging/development server.
For the first days I just manage to remove [...]
I’ve started learning Rails and Ruby 3 years ago now, and now all my side projects are made in RoR.
I’ll be ready soon to release my third rails application, but having launched earlier this year serialcooking.com I’ve learn a lot on good RoR good practice in terms of development, deployment and maintenance.
I just wanted to [...]
So that’s it, you want to start development with Ruby on Rails, but you don’t know where to start.
The good thing is Ruby on Rails has a very clever and smart community, and you can find lots of documentation on the web.
Here is quick summary on where to start.

If you really want to learn Ruby [...]
First time I wanted to use Jquery with Ruby on Rails I had some difficulties understanding how it can works.
Sure, you can easily use Jrails, that’ll brings you RJS helpers with Jquery, but I quite like the unobstrusive way, so Jrails is not (for me) the best solutions.
Let’s code together
What do we want?
We are going [...]
After having released www.serialcooking.com, I needed to do something just for me (I work on serialcooking with Nathalie).
This monday, I started a web implementation of Tweetdeck, and even if it’s now finished now, it goes very quickly.
I’ve used twitter_auth, and worked on it only 2 nights currently, but I want to realease it as soon [...]
It was the big things weeks ago, but I didn’t had time to test it. Twitter_auth, allows you to user the twitter authentication on you application. And it’s really sweet!.
Let’s do a small implementation together.
Step 1: Prepare your development box
Because Twitter doesn’t allow the callback parameter anymore, you’ll need to setup your workstation.
I recommend to [...]
Today I’ve played with twitter_auth, and I must admit it’s really sweet.
As I leave for a camping trip this afternoon, I’ll not be able to write a tutorial on how to setup you development box, but I’ll do it on Monday.
You can just check my source code on github. (You’ll need to add the database.yml [...]
This morning I needed to transform some Textmate snippets to Gedit format.
I’ve wrote a quick and dirty code for that (tmsnippets2gedit on github)
You just need to copy the script to the textmate bumdle root directory, and run it.
You’ll have a new file call result.xml that you need to edit to specify the language format (JS,Ruby,XSL, [...]
