StillAlive Now Available on AppHarbor!
2011 railsThe web’s most amazing monitoring service is now available on AppHarbor!
StillAlive is reInteractive's fantastic website feature testing application born out of a simple necessity. There are a myriad of websites that will monitor the uptime of your site, but before StillAlive came along none tested the paths that users take through your website, to make sure that everything is working as intended. Imagine if your online store was responding to pings, but returning a garbled homepage... a computer might not know the difference, but your users sure would! StillAlive is set up to alert you to these problems before your users get a chance to. To find out more about this service, check out our homepage at https://www.stillalive.com.

Stripping Whitespace out of Textmate 2
2011 development railsSo as you may know, the long awaited arrival of TextMate 2 is upon, albeit in alpha form. Being the excitable fellow that I can be, I of course jumped on this the absolute moment that I could, closed down my MacVim instance and downloaded TextMate 2. I started it up, and oh no, again I found myself confronted with trailing whitespace that had plauged me all through my TextMate usage. But some talking to other folks I discovered that all was not lost, and I had indeed had the power to rid myself of this, as I had done in the past without knowing it.
In the text bundle there is a command, Remove Trailing Spaces in Document / Selection.
Rolling your own Ruby SOAP client with Typhoeus and Nokogiri
2011 development railsAs our applications become better connected with the net in general, we find we need to communicate with 3rd party services.
If we are lucky, these are clean, well documented, RESTful APIs which make our heart sing. If we are super lucky, they even confirm to what ActiveResource expects, and will be trivial to implement.
