This afternoon I was looking for a solution to (easily) add rounded corners into some elements of a website we are developing.
After having tried Curvycorners, jQuery Corners without any success (it was completely breaking the design under IE) I finally came to DD_roundies, which use Microsoft VML.
DD_roundies
DD_roundies is a really lightweight piece of code that will [...]
\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.
You won’t find [...]

As last year, I went solo this year, and came up with Planet Toaster.

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 [...]
This year I’m looking to more networking and freelancing in the Uk, so I’ve made these business cards and they’ve been printed by Moo.
As alway, Moo quality is just fantastic, and I’m happy with the result. But I’ll certainly do another with Web Strategy Developer or something like that (more generic than Ruby on Rails [...]
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.

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.

I recommend to [...]
