Introducing Bam : A simple deployment utility
As a thought about the post that I wrote the other day. I figured why not just turn it into a gem? This would be a good excuse for me to write my first command line gem and also learn all the intricacies involved with it. So without further ado, here it is: bam the easiest, most fastest way to deploy your project! It’s super simple to get going and use too!
Installation

Quick Deployment with Rsync and Ruby
UPDATE, this is now a gem!
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a huge fan of using rsync for deployment. When working on smaller sites and projects, I find that the other deployment method that I use; capistrano, is a bit of overkill, I rarely, if ever need to rollback revisions or share assets across deployments on simple websites. Since I use git, I can rollback revisions and ignore...

Add this to your Ubuntu .bashrc
Add this to your Ubuntu .bashrc
If you’re like me and you work with different versions of ubuntu servers, it helps to know which version you are working on. I just always forget where ubuntu puts it’s version info, here’s a quick way to remember easily:
# add this to your ~/.bashrc

Google realtime right now... kind of
Ok, so Google Realtime isn’t quite real right now, in the mean time why not just add it as a search engine into chrome? Here’s how to do that:
Right click the omni bar
Go to edit > search engines

git-export
I recently needed to grab a git repository, but I had no interest in cloning it or putting it into my current project as a submodule. What I wanted was a simple way to export the repository like you can with svn using svn export. I looked around for a solution, but couldn’t find one that I felt behaved exactly like svn export. So I decided to write my own git-export command, once installed...

Building CSS3 PIE for OSX
CSS 3 PIE is a really cool idea and I wanted to start using it, but I ran into some issues building it yesterday. When attempting to build it, here’s what I ran into:

PIE:master> ant
Buildfile: build.xml
