Merb and Rails evolve into Rails 3
Wow. This is exciting. Rails and Merb have got it on and are carrying a love child, its called Rails 3. Merb has been a great thing for the Rails world helping to push Rails in a better direction. Many ideas from Merb are already appearing in Rails edge but from now on they’ll be combining the great minds of both frameworks to create a killer ruby web framework. More information can be found at the official rails blog announcement. Exciting times ahead!
Rails 3 is going to kick ass.

Working with Wireframes for the Web
Having recently discovered the joy of using wireframes for web development I thought it would be nice to write a little post about them and how you can make use of them in your development process.

Brighton Ahoy!
We’re on the roll again, heading back to Brighton for a few days later this week. Next year Alistair and I will be moving to Brighton so that we can work on our devious plans more efficiently and set up Makito Labs HQ, so we’re taking this trip to check out more of what Brighton has to offer and figure out boring things like how much moolah we’re going to be taxed for renting office space.
We’ll be in Brighton from Thursday 30th October until Saturday 1st November, so if you’re a Brighton local and fancy joining us for a pint or two then please give one of us a shout or drop us a direct message on Twitter. We’ll be heading out on Thursday evening for drinks, so if you’re able to drop by and fill us in on the best and worst that Brighton has to offer, you’re more than welcome to a pint on us!

Installing beanstalkd on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
We recently had to install beanstalkd the messaging queue system from Philotic, Inc on our development machines. MacPorts didn’t work so we decided to build it ourselves but any guides for installing on OS X are pretty thin on the ground so I thought I’d share what we had to do.

Happeningapp is accepting beta signups!
If you’re wondering why It’s been a little quiet around here for a few weeks, its because Simon and I have been working flat out on our first big web app, Happeningapp, for our newly found company, Makito Labs.
The site went up yesterday and we’re now accepting beta signups!
Happeningapp is the missing glue between you and all those lovely websites you’ve developed. Whether you need to know a little more about what’s going or prevent something catastrophic that’s waiting in the wings to trample all over your chi, we’re sure that Happeningapp is the answer.

Note: We have a new comments system
Just a quick note to tell everyone that we’ve changed the way our comments system works. It previously required you to create a user account before being able to post a comment and featured nice things like threaded comments. After a brief discussion we decided that the user accounts feature was probably inhibiting user participation and that we didn’t really need threaded comments right now – so bang its gone!. Now there’s no excuse for not participating. ;)
