Quick Ruby Debugging from TextMate
Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009No, this TextMate plugin I just wrote does not let you debug your Ruby program directly inside TextMate. However, it does open a full-screen Terminal with rdebug when you hit Command-D in your Ruby file.
Check it out. Download and double-click to install.
Here’s the source for the bundle command:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# This plugin is governed by the MIT license, available at http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php
# Andrew Janssen, http://sardiusgroup.comdir_name = File.dirname(ENV['TM_FILEPATH'])
system "osascript -e \'tell application \"Terminal\"
do script \"cd '#{dir_name}'; rdebug #{ENV['TM_FILEPATH']};exit;\"
activate-- If you want to change the style of the new debug window....
-- Change the index to get different styles.
-- set current settings of first window to settings set 1-- If you want to put the window somewhere specific...
-- set the bounds of the first window to {431, 20, 1502, 1056}-- ... otherwise this makes it full-screen.
set zoomed of first window to true
end tell\'"

Monday, December 21st, 2009Delete Single Items in OS X
Saturday, December 19th, 2009One of the more amazing features of OS X is that you can’t delete files or directories with the Finder— you have to first put them in the trash, then clear everything in the trash. That’s fine for most people, but I want to keep some trash for a long time (deleted copies of code) but not other trash (large installer files and virtual machines).
So I wrote a script which lets you delete specific files and folders; in the trash or elsewhere. Double-click the ZIP-file to open it, then drag the “Delete Immediately” script into the Library/Services folder of your home directory. Now when you right-click files or folders and you’ll see a “Delete Immediately” command. Easy.
This program is distributed without a warranty of any kind. Delete your own files at your own risk.
Git repository is here.

Welcome to the Sardius Group
Thursday, August 20th, 2009Most web contractors suck. It’s true. We talk with more people who are dissatisfied (disgusted?) by their experience with contractors than we care to count. At the end of the day what makes a product successful is an active partnership with a listening developer who responds to your needs in real-time. The focus of The Sardius Group is you, not our next five clients.
We’re believers in Getting Things Done and Agile Development. Discussing ideas with a pen and napkin is usually more effective than volleying specification drafts over emails (and weeks). No one wants to do that!
We create systems that don’t require our ongoing presence (or invoice) to maintain. When Sardius Group solves your problem, we solve it. Months of one-off fixes and maintenance wastes your time, and we won’t stand for that.
