There's certainly no shortage of goings-on to link to lately.

• Devise 1.0.0 - Major milestone for this Rack-based authentication solution for Rails.
• Cloudfront: no-brainer CDN Support for S3 - I've got a couple of apps out there where I really should implement this.
• Save file and reload Safari from TextMate - Passed on by Alex Heaton.
• Bye Bye Github and GitHub post - Afterthoughts - Elad Meidar discusses expectations and git hosting.
• SendEmail 1.56 - Command line email sending that can handle TLS (and thus Google Mail servers). Requires some perl modules.
• sinatra_more - Gem to boost Sinatra to handling more complex applications.
• Auto timeout sessions in Rails - Useful plugin from Matthew Bass, for the times when you need to keep people from just idling. I ended up forking it to make it use jQuery instead of Prototype.

• EdgeRails.info - Ryan Daigle is moving all his edge content to a fresh domain.
• RubyInstaller Release Candidate 2 - 1.8.6, 1.8.7 and 1.9.1 - Useful tool for people who want to run Ruby on Windows without resorting to a virtual machine.
• Savon - Ruby SOAP client that includes WSSE authentication.
• Wrap your SQL head around Riak's Map-Reduce - Personally my SQL head says "no! enough already!" but I expect I'll have to learn this stuff sooner or later.
• Haml Sucks for Content - Actually a good post on some advanced HAML techniques rather than another entry in the holy war.
• Less.app - Autocompiler for your LESS CSS files. Well, if you have any.

Some odds and ends before I fling myself at a pile of tax paperwork.

The future of FuzzyFinder-TextMate »

Created at: 28.01.2009 19:47, source: the { buckblogs :here } - Home, tagged: Projects fuzzyfinder textmate vim

Back in October I released a Vim extension for mimicking TextMate’s cmd-T file lookup feature. I use it heavily now, and it works great for me.

Sadly, the author of the FuzzyFinder Vim script, upon which my extension depends, keeps changing internal implementation details that I had to hook into to make my extension work. The result? Every few weeks my extension breaks with the latest FuzzyFinder.

Needless to say, this is work I don’t need. The fuzzyfinder-textmate stuff works fine for me. It works fine for people on older versions of FuzzyFinder. And I really don’t care to support this anymore.

If you’re passionate about this, please feel free to fork the project on GitHub and release your changes independently. Feel free to post your changes on the vim script page, even! I hereby release that code into the public domain. Do with it as you please!
