Singapore Ruby Brigade—looking for a rails developer

Hi,
Our company is looking for a rails developer. Must know rspec and BDD.

Let me know if you are interested.
Thanks

Brinley Ang—Adding custom dictionaries to ColorDict, a StarDict app on Android

ColorDict is a great free dictionary app on the Android Marketplace which I stumbled across by accident. You can get it on the marketplace via this link or search for colordict.

While it has a couple of dictionaries available separately via the marketplace, the cool thing about this app is that it supports any dictionaries in the open source StarDict format which means you can install any of the dictionaries in this list.

The problem is the installation of the custom dictionaries isn’t very clear so heres how I did it.

Singapore Ruby Brigade—database wizard is needed

Hi All,
I need a mysql database wizard for a couple of months.
The task is to migrate a horribly structured (190 tables!) database to a clean, redesigned set of tables.
There is a lot of data and transformations involved.
For your reference, the initial migration took 16 days. And it only involved about half of the data. And it has to be re-done. About 10 times faster.

Singapore Ruby Brigade—Re: [SRB] Re: Old Skool

My current preferred ruby framework is [link] which is
built on top of Sinatra with additional features similar to Rails.
It also has an admin generator like Django. As for plugins I think
the shift is moving towards rack middleware which is more agonistic
and faster. Check out [link] for the list of available

.. er I thought that would be good? :)

Anyway each to his own best way to enjoy Ruby :)

Singapore Ruby Brigade—Old Skool

actually doing Sinatra is much more old skool (you pre-Rails guys know what i
mean)
and it forces you to really read every darn line of script
much closer to the rack middleware
it took me < 1 day to read and half-understand the entire Sinatra mechanism
Rails I feel definitely still is best-breed for apps
