The pom would be great, else you’ll get errors like
[WARN] Missing POM for org.stringtree:stringtree-json:jar:2.0.10

I am a corporate trainer and well i always wanted to see Ms.Sierra speak on some topic but i didn’t get the chance finally i got this chance when i was surfing at the internet and well what can i say explained the message of being friend to the client and also she explained how to built a robust and user friendly application very well. Truly she is my inspiration when i just began to learn java i was inspired by her writing technique she is truely my idol…

Comment on Ruby, Sinatra, Dreamhost, Haml, git – a smooth web app workflow … eventually by Frank

Interesting. I’ve not seen that behaviour myself, although that may just be because I don’t use ActiveRecord for persistence on any of the applications I have deployed at Dreamhost so far. I have used both sqlite3 and pstore for relatively low-volume storage without any significant problems.

I have found their generic hosting to a pretty good bargain, but the private servers are not such a good deal, especially as they seem to push an “all or nothing” approach rather than some sites on a PS and some on regular hosting.

Do you have any suggestions for better/cheaper ruby hosting?

Dreamhost is horrible for ruby hosting. Good luck getting an ORM To work. They kill the process when they identify Active Record or others and then force you to get a private server.

Comment on WorkSnug – is Augmented Reality really the best way to find a desk? by Frank

And as another follow-up to this, AR provider Layar is launching a way to find out if it is even worth looking for AR content in your area: http://eu.techcrunch.com/2010/05/07/layar-launches-its-stream-to-make-augmented-reality-content-easier-to-find/

The appropriate quote is “The Layar Stream is viewable without having to hold the phone up and moving it around. This enables easy discovery of what is around you in everyday situations.”

Comment on Using DropBox and Ubuntu One for backup by Frank

Thanks for the comment. I hadn’t heard of SpiderOak but I’ll certainly check them out.

Makes me want to write some sort of uber-Client and do some sort of RAID-style redundancy across several of these services …

Frank, check out SpiderOak. Better pricing and better privacy features than Dropbox. Support for Linux, Mac, and Windows. And it has an iPhone client, too.
