Title: Twalala: Twitter with a mute button (Forum) Submitted: October 20th, 2008 - 10:01am

Not sure if you all knew, but a team of four Providence Geeks (Matt Gillooly, TJ Alex Taylor, TJ Sondermann, and Steve Babigian) took part in Rails Rumble this past weekend. They built a super-cool Twitter client—that has a MUTE BUTTON! So, you can block all my #redsox tweets if you want! ;)

It's called Twalala.

I just did a lil' review of it, if you wanted to read before you drive.

Title: From Next-Gen Workspaces to Web Developer Meetup? (Forum) Submitted: December 3rd, 2007 - 11:52am

Hi all:

I'm headed to the Next Gen Work Environments meeting on Thursday and saw that as a great chance to catch my first Web Developer Lunch Meetup (been meaning to get to one for quite some time). One ends at 10:30, the other starts at 12. Anyone else planning to hit both? Anyone been to one of the lunches before?

I've been looking for twitter feeds of Providence-area folks. Got one? I'm @adarowski.

Title: RSS/Email Digest Wish List (Forum) Submitted: October 5th, 2007 - 11:21am

Let's help the team by making a list of where we want RSS updates (and also what we would like to populate an "email digest" for the non-RSSy folks).

 

  • Latest forum posts (new topics as well as replies)
  • Latest News items
  • Latest calendar items
  • New members
  • New companies in directory

Missing anything? Calendar items might be better served in an ICAL feed, which I believe is coming, too.

Title: What blogs are you reading? (Forum) Submitted: October 1st, 2007 - 10:13pm

I love reading top ten (or so) blog lists that people read. Gives me an idea of what's out there as I struggle to keep up with reading my own feeds. So, care to give a top 10 (or so)?

Title: Deeper into Info-Tech & Digital Media: What specifically are you doing? (Forum) Submitted: September 20th, 2007 - 12:54am

Trying to get a feel for what types of developers there are out there in RI... web? desktop application? web application? How 'bout mobile? Anything I'm missing?

For me, it's been web development for a long time with a recent shift in focus to web applications.

Currently using Ruby on Rails for our app—but I'm a total Rails noob. I'm mostly a markup/CSS guy that likes to try to decipher the Rails code in his spare time.

Hi Chris:

I'm a big WordPress fan as well. I use it on a bajillion sites. I'm not a huge plugin guy (actually had my site running plugin-free for quite a while). I kinda love theming though... taking that XHTML/CSS 1-pager and turning it into a full-fledged theme. I plan t do a demo of the process at NewBCamp (and I just released my first WP theme).

Oh yes, I'll certainly do that. But my perspective is essentially dancing around the Ruby code, making it work as a designer. There are some things I'll try to play with (views more than controllers for example). Sometimes it works, sometimes I just try ten things before sending Sean a ticket (sorry Sean!). :)

I could certainly come up with something. We might want something from a real live Ruby programmer for Opening Day, though. :)

Count me in as well. While I'm not really a Rails developer, I do play one on TV.

tflan: I downloaded 2.0 yesterday (got the link that Macrumors put up before Apple shut 'em down). I'm enjoying it, for sure. The Remote app blew me away. :)

I'm going to opt to sleep in (who am I kidding... baby boy will be up long before 6:30). Sean got us iPhones so long ago that we were even part of Steve's mea culpa to the early adopters! (I got iWork out of it.)

If you go, take photos though. Should be a blast.
