I’ve recently started using RVM to manage the Ruby versions and Gem sets of the different projects I’m working on. So, much like showing the current Git branch, its really useful to show the current RVM environment as part of the command prompt. So I just added rvm-prompt to the previous snippet. To use this, [...]
One fo the most confusing things when working with multiple branches on git is having to remember the branch you’re currently working on. Typing git branch all the time is annoying… Thats why I’ve set my shell’s prompt to display the current branch! Just add the following to your ~/.profile file: Similar Posts: The Complete Guide to Setting up [...]
Its not in iTunes When hearing the news that the Mac AppStore was launched I immediately opened iTunes, but didn’t find it there. I went online and read that an OS X update is required so I ran Software Update – there was no iTunes update but there was an OS X update so I figured the [...]
Setting up Python for development on a Windows environment turns out to be not such an easy task.
After setting up several such environments and running into all sort of problems I had to figure out I decided it would probably be worthwhile for myself and other developers to document the process…
If you’re starting Python development on Windows, and especially if you’re using Google App Engine (as this guide is about Python 2.5.4) this guide is for you…
So it seems the new twitter.com has a "virus" going around. Few minutes ago my twitter stream filled up with strange jQuery calls so I looked into it. Apperantly the new Twitter website is colunerable to a simple SQL-Injection like attack. It’ll just spit out to the page whatever HTML code you write on your [...]
DeveloperZen has a new design! There’s sill some work to be done and empty content pages to be filled, so there’s going to be a lot of re-organizing in the following days (especially the categories list that needs to be optimized). Would love to hear your comments about the new design and the blog in [...]
I was watching the Apple launch event the other day and I must say I was a bit disappointed. Don’t get me wrong the device is small and slick and the 99$ puts it in the right price range to compete with other streamers in the market. The problem is, that besides connecting to iTunes, [...]
A Computer That Doesn’t Feel Like A Computer
Its not a geek device, its a computing appliance. The iPad is a computer with an iPhone OS. Not a full fledged Os like we’re used to, no multitasking, terminal, filesystems… Just a list of Apps that can be installed and updated from the net. Simple, elegant, [...]

I found the following comparison between the iPhone and the Droid ads hilarious.
Especially, the following Droid bullets:
It is fast and it despises aesthetics.
It is packaged inside missiles launched by stealth jets. (*)
It is a robot and should mostly be handled by other robots.
Droid is to be used with robotic hands in a [...]

There’s a very interesting blog post over at Raw Thought on the topic of hiring programmers. It offers the following insight on hiring:
There are three questions you have when you’re hiring a programmer (or anyone, for that matter):
Are they smart?
Can they get stuff done?
Can you work with them?
Someone who’s smart [...]
This couldn’t be more ironic. The title for the presentation by Dov Moran, CEO and Chairman of Modu, at the upcoming TheMarker convention: (translated from Hebrew: “How to go from a huge company to a large one, from large to medium, from medium to small and from small to miniature, or the [...]
