Eribium Asset Manager

Thursday, September 28th, 2006

I’ve uploaded a screenshot of the new theme manager for eribium. Some new features include online editing of themes (wordpress style) and one-click download and installation of themes. I have a central repository of themes for eribium, which designers can upload their themes to. Themes can then be installed with one click, from inside the […]

Eribium and Jabber/Gtalk

Tuesday, September 26th, 2006

I’m been busy baking Jabber notifications into eribium, and also building a Jabber bot. When a page is posted or, say, a user deleted, you can choose to be notified by email or by a jabber chat. You can also query the rails app via jabber (perhaps also CRUD pages?). I know these features aren’t […]

Kids and Programming

Wednesday, September 13th, 2006

There’s rather a good post over at Peter Cooper’s blog, RubyInside.com on teaching Kids programming.
I won’t bother reprinting my comment here, you can see it over at Peter’s website. Needless to say, I think that Ruby should be the language of choice for introducing people into the field.

I’m a bit stuck on the best way of organizing pages in a cms, like eribium. I’m chiefly looking at the menu generation side of things.
Should there be sections, with multiple pages per section?
Should there be a hierarchy of pages, such as in cmsmadesimple?
Should there be a list of pages, with a unconnected menu manager […]

Rails Cairngorm Generator

Sunday, September 10th, 2006

Update, someone has released a similar app, found here.
For those who use Cairngorm I’m in the process of creating a Rails Cairngorm Generator which will enable you to generate Cairngorm app quite easily, without all that copying and pasting from the tutorials that I find myself doing just to get a basic structure up.
One command […]

Rails SDK for Flex

Friday, September 8th, 2006

Most of you have probably seen the announcement on the Rails Blog that Mike Potter from Adobe has announced a open source project designed “to help Ruby on Rails developers get started with Adobe Flex”. Inevitably the ‘Flash Haters’ started pouring out their discontent, “oh please! burn flash on a funeral pile”. I think that […]

Thursday, September 7th, 2006

I’m really excited about the progress being made with the Flex 2 Interface of Eribium, especially with the drag and drop asset manager. Please feel free to suggest things, particularly as it’s now ‘baking’ and in constant development. Below are some screenshots of the interface:

Juggernaut’s Future

Monday, September 4th, 2006

This is a post demonstrating a few features that we hope will be in the next version of Juggernaut. I’ve decided to keep as much ‘rails’ logic out of the push server, so it can be ported to other languages if necessary.

Authentication will be done like this: a client makes a request to a […]
