RoRED: Another IDE for Ruby on Rails

RoRED

I love Ruby on Rails, but I have to admit, the acronym "RoR" kind of annoys me. Anyway, I won't let that idiosyncrasy of mine be a strike against RoRED, a brand new integrated development environment (IDE) for Ruby on Rails. RoRED is Windows-only app that has most of the features you expect in a basic IDE, like syntax highlighting (for both Ruby and HTML/RHTML), tabbed documents, and a file management/navigation pane. It also has easy navigation between methods, bookmarks and "hyperbookmarks," and macros. In addition, it also has a few Rails-specific features, like automatic grouping of model, view, and controller tabs, and buttons for managing servers and consoles. RoRED is free and a pleasantly light download: just 790kb.

Rails Day 2006 projects

Rails Day 2006 live projectsJune 17 was Rails Day 2006, the annual worldwide event in which teams create cool new web apps in 24 hours using the much-hyped Ruby on Rails web application framework. I've been waiting ever since for a list of projects to be posted, but so far none has materialized at the official Rails Day site, but fortunately John at Burm.net has posted an unofficial list of live Rails Day 2006 projects. His list isn't comprehensive, but it lists 28 sites created in 24 hours that are now live in some form or another (except for the several that appear to be down). A few of the more stand-out projects are Roomind.us, Advisr, HugTracker, d20 Online, and Sneakology. Having been built in 24 hours, most of these sites are still pretty rough around the edges, but more than a year after I first heard of it I'm still impressed by what people are accomplishing with Ruby on Rails.

Graveyard Shift - zombie-busting Time Waster

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
