I’ve been playing around with an Apollo project, dubbed ‘AirShare’, that utilises Bonjour to share files on the local area network, allowing people using the program on other computers to browse these, and download them.
Bonjour is basically a networking protocol developed by Apple that uses multicast Domain Name System service records to locate devices such […]
I’ve been a bit quite lately on updates to Aireo, rest assured - they are happening! Below are some screenshots of the progress so far. Just to recap, Aireo is a digital asset manager, abstracting S3, residing on EC2, running with ruby on rails with a html and apollo interface. All but two of the […]
Well, I’ve been developing this plugin for a while now, and here it is! The use case I have for this is client side Rails applications that sometimes need to be offline.
The plugin allows one ‘master’ db to sync with unlimited ’slave’ databases. Records created/updated/deleted on the client will also be updated on the slave […]

Connect/Disconnect triggers
Unique Identification of clients capability (Can now use user_id instead of session_id for instance)
Add/Remove a channel from a given client without reloading the swf
Send to individual client without use of “channel” methodology

I’ve been monitoring the rubyforge news and spotted this. It’s a comet implementation of Juggernaut (rather than using flash) and they use a native push server (so only for linux). They’ve got a good screencast here (the page is in Japanese, but just scroll down).
A lot of work has been going on with Juggernaut by […]
If you’ve been reading this blog you’ll know I’m exciting about client side Rails applications, and the opportunities that offers. So, in order to distribute a Rails application you need to bundle it in in an exe, since the end-user doesn’t necessarily have Ruby/Rails installed.
One method is detailed here. I’ve been playing around with it […]
I’ve recently been looking into how to synchronise two Rails applications together, one will be the master, the other the slave. When a record gets created/updated/deleted in one db, I want it to do similarly in the other. Why am I doing this? So I can have a Rails application on the client side with […]
Sorry, another long title ;)
Just picked this up on the Artemis mailing list, not sure how he does it, and haven’t tested it, but thought I’d post anyway…
Flex was open sourced sometime last week, or at least flex 3 will be. This doesn’t affect my work too much, but it means Eribium will be a more legitimate open source applications. Also I’m looking forward to the custom components that should make it into the general release. Adobe should look at Ext for […]
