2010: The year Ext JS takes over

by Edward Spencer | over 2 years ago | Read more

On January 1st 2010 I officially joined Ext JS to take over the role of lead developer. After living and breathing Ext for the last 3 years I am delighted to have joined the company itself. Ext JS has lead the way in developing rich client side applications since the very first release; this is a tradition we will to continue and build upon.

2010 is going to be an extremely exciting year for Ext JS. A new focus is being placed on helping developers create their applications much more quickly, with the help of advanced creation tools and a standardised application architecture right out of the box.

We will continue the performance improvements started in 3.1 to make sure that Ext applications really fly. Ext JS 3.2 will be the fastest, most stable version ever released.

2010 is also the year that Ext JS becomes much easier to learn. With a completely reinvented learning section, Ext will no longer take months to learn and understand – even our API documentation will get a facelift.

The upcoming Marketplace will be the perfect venue to find and share new, high quality components created by our awesome developer community. Think of the Marketplace as the App Store for Ext JS – full of great offerings that are easy to drop in to any application.

Calling all able-minded Ext JS developers

Ext JS is already the best JavaScript library in the world for creating rich, desktop-quality applications on the web. If you want to help us make it even better, I want to hear from you.

As well as creating new components and improving our application support, we need people to help us maintain the quality and stability of what we already have. If you’re intimate with Ext and think you have what it takes to get involved, drop me a PM and introduce yourself.

Making a RepRap – Step 0: BOM

by Dimitri Van Heucke | over 2 years ago | Read more

This is parts of a series on making a RepRap. Because we're not used to working with electronics, the BOM (Bill of Materials) of the RepRap (as found on the RepRap wiki) looks pretty frightening at first. After a second, third and fourth look things became a bit clearer.

Official Google Blog: A new approach to China

by Steve Deiters | over 2 years ago | Read more

These attacks and the surveillance they have uncovered--combined with the attempts over the past year to further limit free speech on the web--have led us to conclude that we should review the feasibility of our business operations in China. We have decided we are no longer willing to continue censoring our results on Google.cn, and so over the next few weeks we will be discussing with the Chinese government the basis on which we could operate an unfiltered search engine within the law, if at all.

ANN sinatra-bundles: Easy asset bundling for sinatra

by Daniel Huckstep | over 2 years ago | Read more

sinatra-bundles is an easy way to bundle CSS and Javascript assets in your sinatra application.

Yes! It has tests! They are on runcoderun

Usage

sinatra-bundles combines Javascript and CSS into one file. Meaning, you can bundle 2 or more Javascript files into one, similar with CSS stylesheets. Any bundled files are expected to be in the public directory, under ‘javascripts’ and ‘stylesheets’

Assuming you have the following files in public:

./stylesheets/reset.css
./stylesheets/fonts.css
./stylesheets/grid.css
./javascripts/jquery.js
./javascripts/lightbox.js
./javascripts/blog.js

You can bundle these files in your app like this:

require 'sinatra'
require 'sinatra/bundles'

stylesheet_bundle(:all, %w(reset fonts grid))
javascript_bundle(:all, %w(jquery lightbox blog))

get '/' do
  'sinatra-bundles rocks!'
end

Then in your view, you can use the view helpers to insert the proper script tags:

= javascript_bundle_include_tag(:all)
= stylesheet_bundle_link_tag(:all)

All 6 of those files will be served up in 2 files, and they’ll be compressed and have headers set for caching.

Configuration

The defaults are pretty good. In development/test mode:

bundle_cache_time # => 60 * 60 * 24 * 365, or 1 year
compress_bundles # => false
cache_bundles # => false
stamp_bundles # => true

And in production mode, compression and caching are enabled

compress_bundles # => true
cache_bundles # => true

To change any of these, use set/enable/disable

require 'sinatra'
require 'sinatra/bundles'

stylesheet_bundle(:all, %w(reset fonts grid))
javascript_bundle(:all, %w(jquery lightbox blog))

disable(:compress_bundles)
enable(:cache_bundles)
set(:bundle_cache_time, 60 * 60 * 24)
disable(:stamp_bundles)

get '/' do
  'sinatra-bundles rocks!'
end

That’s pretty much it. My blog uses this, so check out the code for it if you want a more real example. It’s on github

sinatra-bundles is also on github

There are docs, and you can run rake yard to generate them, but rdoc.info and yardoc.org don’t want to place nice right now, so they aren’t actually available yet. Coming soon though! Docs are located on yardoc.org

The caveat? You need sinatra 0.10.1 (edge).

Fork away, report bugs, and submit patches! Go on now my pretties!

Neuer Blick ins Wunderland!

by Benjamin Krause | over 2 years ago | Read more

Heute haben wir es, morgen der Rest der Welt: Das neue Teaser-Plakat zu Alice im Wunderland! Fragt sich nur, warum Johnny Depp so ernst guckt…

Es sind noch fast zwei Monate, dann begleiten wir Alice im Wunderland dabei, wie sie die Tyrannei der Roten K�nigin beenden will. Bis dahin m�ssen wir uns jedoch mit ein paar Bildern und Trailern begn�gen. Und die sehen wirklich spektakul�r aus. Noch nie war das Wunderland so wundervoll.

Heute bringen wir Euch ein exclusives neues Teaser-Plakat, bevor es die anderen Medien bekommen. Johnny Depp schaut zwar ein wenig merkw�rdig drein, aber wenn einem das Wunderland von einer boshaften, machtbesessenen Tyrannin ([s:helena-bonham-carter|r]]) [regiert wird, dann mu� man wohl so gucken. Regisseur Tim Burton hat sich f�r sein neuestes Meisterwerk weniger an den B�chern von Lewis Carroll orientiert. Stattdessen hat er die Geschichte weiterentwickelt.

Es sind einige Jahre vergangen, seitdem Alice ihre Abenteuer im Wunderland erlebt hat. Mittlerweile ist sie 17 und soll heiraten. Da kommt das wei�e Kaninchen gerade recht, denn auch wenn sie sich an nichts erinnern kann: Eine Flucht ist immer noch besser als ungewollt vor den Traualter zu treten. Unterwegs trifft sie alte Bekannte: die Raupe ([s:alan-rickman|r]]), den Jabberwock (Christopher Lee), die Grinsekatze (), den Herzbuben (Crispin Glover), die Wei�e K�nigin (Anne Hathaway) und allen voran den Hutmacher (Johnny Depp). Allesamt leiden sie unter der Regentschaft der Roten K�nigin ([s:helena-bonham-carter|r]]). Es liegt an Alice, die Ordnung im Wunderland wieder herzustellen…

Wenn Euch die Bilder so schon beeindrucken, stellt Euch mal vor, wie sie erst in 3D wirken werden! Tim Burtons Alice im Wunderland wird am 4. M�rz 2010 in unseren Kinos anlaufen.

F�r alle, die ihn noch nicht kennen: Der neueste Trailer zu Alice im Wunderland:

Вот еще один камень в огород винды. Обчитался на тему putty & ssh
Оказывается putty просто так с собственными rsa ключами подключиться к OpenSSH серверу на Linux не умеет, т.к. записывает в файл публичный ключ в левом формате.

Некоторые рекомендуют править текстовый файл публичного ключа руками как вот тут. В другом месте рекомендуют вообще использовать puttygen.exe идущий в комплекте c putty.exe только для конвертирования имеющегося открытого ключа в формат putty. При этом предлагается создавать ключ в git-bash командой ssh-keygen -t rsa.

Пробовал и так и этак, пока не получилось.

Desperate Housewives sind wieder da und bringen Hawthorne mit

by Benjamin Krause | over 2 years ago | Read more

Liebe, Intrigen und neue Nachbarn in der Wisteria Lane. Pro7 bringt ab heute die neue Staffel der Desperate Housewives im Doppelpack, gefolgt von der neuen Serie Hawthorne.

Waren das wirklich schon fast zwei Monate? Eh man’s sich versieht, sind die Desperate Housewives wieder da und der Zuschauer bekommt nicht nur seinen Wisteria-Lane-Fix, sondern auch noch die Antwort auf die ein oder andere offene Frage.

Zwei Monate sind mittlerweile vergangen (wie passend, fast wie in der Wirklichkeit…). Lynette (Felicity Huffman) hat sich immer noch nicht mit einer erneuten Schwangerschaft abgefunden, und wie immer ist ihr Gatte Tom (Doug Savant) keine gro�e Hilfe. Susan (Teri Hatcher) wurde zwar von Mike (James Denton) gerettet – geheiratet hat er aber eine andere. Wer diese mysteri�se Ehefrau ist, wird gleich in der ersten Folge f�r die ein oder andere gehobene Augenbraue sorgen.

Bree (Marcia Cross) versucht sich von Orson (Kyle MacLachlan) zu l�sen und ihre Gef�hle f�r Susan’s Ex-Mann zu verstecken. Derweil f�hrt Gaby (Eva Longoria Parker) immer noch einen h�uslichen Psychokrieg mit der zunehmend gest�rten Nichte ihres Mannes. Die F�nfte im Bunde, Edie Britt (Nicollette Sheridan), ist mittlerweile Geschichte. Daf�r gibt es eine neue Familie im Haus der Youngs: Die Bolens ziehen ein, und selbstverst�ndlich bringen sie ein Geheimnis mit.

Was sich verworren anh�rt, hat der Serie bisher Traumquoten und eine loyale Fanbasis beschert – und bewiesen, dass in jedem von uns ein heimlicher, kleiner Soap-Fan steckt. Ob die neue Serie Hawthorne davon profitieren kann, wird sich erst noch beweisen m�ssen.

Desperate Housewives startet heute auf Pro7 um 20:15 Uhr mit einer Doppelfolge in die 6. Staffel und d�rfte das Highlight des Tages im Fernsehprogramm sein. Anschlie�end zeigt Pro7 die erste Folge der neuen Serie Hawthorne. Jada Pinkett Smith spielt Oberschwester Hawthorne, Ausbilderin im Richmond Trinity Hospital. Die Krankenhausserie mit viel Drama und einem geh�rigen Schuss Humor lief in den USA unter den Top 20 des letzten Jahres. Eine zweite Staffel wurde bereits angek�ndigt.

N�chste Woche kommt es �brigens noch dicker: Dann startet Vampire Diaries zwischen diesen beiden Serien – der Mittwochabend liegt fest in den F�ngen von Pro7.
