TextMate reigns supreme with ‘Ack in Project’ September 29th, 2008
The one thing holding TextMate back from Ruby / Rails domination is its horribly slow search functionality. Using ‘Search in Project’ will take what seems like an eternity to pop up any results. The only real attempt at solving this headache was to use ‘Grep in Project’, but it left a lot to be desired including search speed. Now comes the solution, ‘Ack in Project’ was a project created on GitHub back in August to use the much more efficient Ack library for searching. With enhanced output, it has given other IDEs like NetBeans and IntelliJ a swift quick to the balls as to what is the best Ruby / Rails editor.
$ cd /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Bundles/ $ sudo git clone git://github.com/protocool/ack-tmbundle.git Ack.tmbundle
Use Ack in Project with Cmd+Shift+A

2008090808_moving_to_denver.rb September 8th, 2008
The lack of posting was not done in vein. Over the past few weeks I have been interviewing with companies and finally settled on Factory Design Labs. This will be a nice move away from the Java world that I have been seemingly trapped inside for the past few months into a Rails position. Since I am in Chicago and the new position is in Denver, that means its time to move and to what a better city! I am an avid fan of everything outdoors and living close to the elements. This post is just a status update for anyone contemplating removing my blog from RSS for lack of updates. I will begin posting regularly again after my first few days at Factory Labs on September 23.
