GoTasks 1.0.4 - Redeem codes

Some days ago I've update my macruby app, GoTasks adding some new features and fixing a couple of bugs:

GoTasks is a webview for Google™ Tasks, the aim of this app is to give to the customer a fast, concise and clean way to review their tasks or add new ones.

Is well optimized to work in spaces (also lion spaces), here a short list of features:

System Status Bar Integration

Launch as an Agent

Launch at Startup

Two Layouts, Minimal and Canvas for multiple lists.

Visible on all spaces (without switch)

Lion Full Screen Support (only if you don't run app as daemon)

Google Domains™ support

Separate Cookie session: you can login in GoTasks with a different Google™ account than Safari one.

Correctly opens links in your default browser

And here finally some redeem codes:

FINISHED

If you appreciate my work, please add me some stars and leave a great great great review :D

So, go and download it!

Cool CSS with Stylus

Is a couple of years that I'm looking for a new language to write my css. Since Im a rubyist and an haml lover I've tried sass but wasn't love, no really know know why, the only thing that I can admit is that I don't love the syntax.

I've tried also others popular (in the ruby world) languages like less.

Finally looking in the new cool node.js land I discovered stylus.

My right choice!

To use it you must install node.js, to do that is pretty simple, if you have not already installed brew do it:

$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/gist/323731)"

then you must install node.js, could take a while:

$ brew install node

now we need to install a package manager, like gem but for node: npm

$ curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh

We need also to set properly the $NODE_PATH without that node seems not able to know our modules:

$ vim ~/.bash_profile # add this: export NODE_PATH="/usr/local/lib/node_modules" $ . ~/.bash_profile

Now we can install stylus:

$ npm install -g stylus

And we need to start a watcher that convert styl to css file on the fly.

$ cd your_project $ stylus -w public/stylesheets/*.styl -c

Now you can create your file.styl which will be converted into file.css

If you want to convert your existing files to stylus run:

$ stylus -C public/stylesheets/foo.css # or $ stylus -C public/stylesheets/*.css

I suggest you to read the cool documentation for more information usage.

Github Watcher, the growl notifier for Github

Last time I showed you a video about an new project.

Today I released it as a ruby gem based on my daemon framework foreverb you can grab source on github repo.

$ gem install githubwatcher $ githubwatcher

Edit repos that you want to watch:

$ mate ~/.githubwatcher $ mate ~/.githubwatcher/repos.yaml

Restart githubwatcher

$ githubwatcher restart

With github watcher you can monitor:

watchers

forks

issues

updated

In realtime with a beautiful and useful growl notification.

sudo gem install githubwatcher

and you are ready to go!

Released Foreverb 0.1.8 with scheduler support!

I updated foreverb with a scheduler support for repetitive tasks.

every 3.seconds do puts "Every three seconds, long task" sleep 10 end every 1.day, :at => "18:30" do puts "Every day at 18:30" end

Full example is here

Check updated docs. Feel free to fork it and apply your changes.

Forever, MicroFramework for your ruby daemons

In my last post I showed you a simple daemon running on my machine used to watch my and Padrino Framework repositores.

Today I want to show you the tool, framework used to make this simple script.

Forever, a small daemon framework for ruby, with logging, error handler watcher and much more.

Key features:

easily watch the process (memory, cpu)

easily manage exceptions

easily see logs

easily start/stop/restart daemon

So, try it and send me your feedback

[daddye-blog]

With this app you will be able to watch/monitor each @github repo you want.

If you have, like me, a lot of repositories it will be simpler to check new issues, new watchers, new forks etc...

Stay tuned!
