# C implementation of Levenshtein text distance algorithm, uses RubyInline to call from within Ruby
# Wildly faster than the Text gem's Text::Levenshtein
# Example:

# l = Levenshtein.new
# l.distance 'hello', ' hello'
# => 1

Instrument Anything in Rails 3

With Rails 3.0 released a few weeks ago I've migrated a few apps and I'm constantly finding useful new improvements. One such improvement is the ability to log anything in the same way that Rails internally logs ActiveRecord and ActionView. By default Rails 3 logs look slightly spiffier than those produced by Rails 2.3: (notice the second line has been cleaned up)

Started GET "/" for 127.0.0.1 at Mon Sep 06 01:07:11 -0400 2010

Screencasting Framework

The following document is a written account of the Code School screencasting framework. It should be used as a reference of the accompanying screencast on the topic.

Why you should care about screencasting?

You're probably aren't going to take the time to read this document if you're not interested, but there are a lot of nice side effects caused by learning how to create quality screencasts.

1. Communicating more effectively - At Envy Labs we produce screencasts for our clients all the time. Whether it's demoing a new feature or for a presentation for an invester, they're often much more effective and pleasent than a phone call or screen sharing.

$ java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://localhost:9000 install-plugin findbugs
findbugs is neither a valid file, URL, nor a plugin artifact name in the update center
No update center data is retrieved yet from: http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/update-center.json
findbugs looks like a short plugin name. Did you mean 'null'?


# Specifying a full URL works!
$  java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://localhost:9020 install-plugin http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/download/plugins/AdaptivePlugin/0.1/AdaptivePlugin.hpi

# Get the update center ourself
