@Railsconf \’08: Phusion Passenger

Between other things, the Phusion folks just announced Passenger now has rack and Django support. And Ruby Enterprise Edition is just announced too.

By the way, some of the licensees (me included) were asked to go up on the stage and received applauses. Awesome.

As soon as Kenji stops making fun of me and hand me the picture, I’ll upload it here.

@Railsconf \’08: Design for Developers

The story so far:

  • You have to know the color wheel theory. Search the web.
  • Choose a color scheme between monochromatic (variations of the same color), analogous (neighbor colors on the wheel)  and complimentary (opposite colors on the wheel).
  • When choosing fonts, pick a line height, and make all images as height as x lines. Yeah, they must have height divisible by the line-height.
  • Use vector graphics to make the logos. They must scale. It’s not just the web site header, it can be in a T-Shirt, in a pin or even in a billboard and outdoors someday!
  • Brian Hogan likes Adobe Illustrator. A lot.
