Jstdutil - A Ruby wrapper over JsTestDriver
Today I needed remote access to a gem I've been tinkering with for a while, so I pushed it to
Gemcutter. It's called
jstdutil, and it provides a small Ruby wrapper over
JsTestDriver that adds colored output, a short, snappy `jstestdriver` command and autotest.
Test driven JavaScript done right
Since this summer, I've been test driving all my JavaScript code using Google's fairly fresh JsTestDriver project. If you're intrigued by TDD with JavaScript, including automatic testing (in a console, or - if you're a masochist - an IDE), test suites of 300+ tests running in 498ms as well as shiny red and green output, you should read on.
Juicer Google group
I still get the occasional comment/request for help for Juicer on the original announcement. Due to spam problems I've now closed comments for the post and opened a Google group instead. Welcome to juicer-dev.
Slides from my JavaScript TDD presentation
Last night I gave a presentation to the local Ruby user group in Oslo on tools for supporting test driven development in JavaScript.
Setting up Gitorious on your own server
Gitorious is an open source Rails application for managing your projects: Git repositories, wikis, timeline and more. Not identical to, but not completely unlike GitHub. Being open source means you can set up your own Gitorious, even in private mode and host all your company's projects. In this article I'll show you how to get it running.
Ruby version manager, Ubuntu and openssl
RVM (Ruby Version Manager) is a hot tool which makes switching between Rubys (1.8.6, 1.8.7, 1.9.1, JRuby, you name it) as simple as `rvm use 1.9.1`. However, on Ubuntu, you may hit trouble when using the openssl package for any non-system provided Ruby version.

Twibot gets a bunch of new features
A couple of weeks ago I received a pull request from Mike Demers for Twibot. However, in contrast to the occasional bug fix I receive, this branch included several new features.
Upcoming updates to Juicer
It's been quiet around here for a while. It's been quiet around Juicer, too. Both of those are going to change. After being given a push, Juicer is now finally up for some updates.
Collecting tweets with Twibot and ActiveRecord
I recently launched a website that among other things displays "tweets" (status messages on Twitter) from a predefined set of Twitter users. In this article I'll show you how you can create a stateful Twibot bot with a custom handler to put tweets in your database using ActiveRecord from a Rails application.
