Here’s a quick rake task for you, if you want to see merb routes without having to do merb -i

desc "Show merb routes" 
task :merb_routes => :merb_env do
  require 'merb-core/rack/adapter/irb'
  Merb::Rack::Console.new.show_routes
end

In terminal, just do rake merb_routes. If you are looking for something specific, you can always do rake show_routes | grep user.

Add that to the Rakefile in your root dir, or better yet, use sake and do:

sake -i http://gist.github.com/raw/1406/907026ffe89a0ff61f7a82e9a66275611b9008a4

Then you can do sake merb_routes in any merb app dir! That’s served up straight from gist, github’s newest pastie based on git.

I was looking forward to going to Ruby Fringe but some personal things have come up and I will not be able to attend. Seeing how they don’t do any type of refunds, I’m looking to sell my ticket. If you are interested either leave me a comment for send me an email (email on the contact page).

So, I’ve ignored this blog for a while. I call it being too busy and what little time I have, I’m not really wanting to spend it on the computer. I’m already on it 18+ hours a day now – and yes everyday.

The nature of being slammed is due to starting my own business. The first week into it, I was worried I wouldn’t get anything. The second week I was slammed. Today, I have so much work that I have turned down almost a dozen projects this month alone.

Anyways, this is more of a “hey, I’m alive” post for my 180 something RSS readers out there. Don’t delete this feed because I posted, I promise not to do much more that in the near future. ;) If you got a moment, drop by my site and say hi. If you are interested in Ruby, Rails, Merb, PHP, JavaScript, or Objective-C work, let me know. I’m looking to bring aboard a person or two for some pretty cool work.

That’s about all I got for now. Even if you aren’t looking for work right now, drop by, say hi. I’ll be looking for some beta testers as well shortly for a few new apps I have coming out. Alright, back to hibernation, cheers!

Go Chargers!

In a typical Matz style, a new release of ruby has been released on Christmas. Ruby 1.9, the development version (read, not for production yet) is out. Have a merry Christmas!
