USB gOS install from Windows
The following tutorial will explain how to quickly and easily install gOS to a USB flash drive or portable device using Windows. gOS is a Debian derivative based on Ubuntu with a unique Enlightenment Window manager, making gOS a very attractive Linux package. Everex Computers offered at Walmart even ship with this intuitive Operating System pre-installed. We really enjoyed installing and using the latest release of gOS and think you will enjoy running it portably from a USB device as well. It's clean, simple, graphically appealing and fun to play with.

Interesting Ruby Tidbits That Don't Need Separate Posts #13
Anvil (Ruby GUI App Framework) Gets an Update
A new version of Anvil, a Ruby framework for developing GUI applications, previously covered here on Ruby Inside, has been released. Lance Carlson has done a great job of making developing a basic GUI application on OS X, Windows or Linux a job that takes minutes rather than hours. All you need to do is install the Anvil gem, run a basic app generator, and a "Rails-esque" structure and basic app is created. If you haven't taken a look at Anvil yet, give it a look.
Lance Carlson also wanted to let everyone know that Anvil now includes the "widget_wrapper" gem which is a new gem focusing on "DSLing GUI toolkits" starting with WxRuby but progressing on to RubyCocoa, Swing, IronRuby, OpenGL, and so forth. Anything that makes cross-platform GUI apps easier to develop is exciting, so check it out.
Instant Rails 2.0 for Windows Released
Windows Rails developers will know of Instant Rails, a "one app installs the whole stack" type affair that installs Rails, Apache, MySQL and Ruby all in one lump, pre-configured and ready to run. Well, Instant Rails 2.0 is now available and, surprise surprise, includes Rails 2.0!

New Erlang / Ruby Bridge Released, "RBridge"
In May 2007, I wrote about an early stage interoperability bridge between the Erlang and Ruby programming languages called Erlectricity. I also said:
Ruby / Erlang interoperability and co-operation is likely to become a big topic in the Ruby community towards the end of the year.
That didn't really happen, and as far as I can tell, Erlectricity didn't get beyond version 0.1. Just this week, however, Chuck Vose has written in to say he's working on a new effort called RBridge that uses code from an older project called RulangBridge. He has a quick tutorial up here.

JRuby 1.0.2 Released
It's only a point release, but JRuby 1.0.2 has hit the streets. Support for Rails 1.2.5 has been included, and almost 100 issues have been fixed since 1.0.1. Several "nasty issues" being experienced by Windows users have also been fixed. Remember that you can keep up with this and other JRuby news over at our sister site JRubyInside.com.
eBay Backed Rails Site Launches
Josh Susser has announced the launch of MicroPlace, a new eBay-backed Web site developed in Rails and aimed at allowing people to make "micro investments" in projects in the developing world. The site is all Rails (using ActiveRecord too) and MySQL, and unusual because eBay is typically a strongly Java environment.
Ruby Developer Tortured?
On the lighter side of this week's news, Meng Wong highlights a poor Ruby developer being tortured by a gorgeous woman in Mountain View, CA.
Joyent Slingshot 1.0: Make Your Rails App Work Offline
Joyent Slingshot allows developers to deploy Rails applications that work the same online and offline (with synchronization) and with drag into and out of the application just like a standard desktop application. Check its two-minutes tutorial to get a feel of how you can make it work.
Earlier this month, they finally released Slingshot to the public. They also celebrated it with a contest offering their $1250-worth Accelerator for the prize.
We've posted about Slingshot before it was officially released. In addition to stabilizing the overall framework, they also have made several enhancements, including the decision that they will open source the technology (planned for June).
You can find more information on their developer wiki.
Build Offline Rails Applications with Joyent Slingshot
Joyent Slingshot is a new technology developed by Joyent and Magnetk that provides a Windows and OS X client for specially designed Rails applications. The upside of this is not just that your application looks more like a desktop application, but you can also code it in such a way that your application will work both online and offline, syncing data as necessary.
The main downside at the moment is that Slingshot isn't actually released yet, and a number of other compromises are raised and covered in the comments section of their blog post. Still, this is a technology to keep an eye on in future.

Softies on Rails is a popular Rails blog that looks at Ruby on Rails from the perspective of .NET developers. They've just announced that they're holding a special one-day workshop where they cover how they went from .NET to Ruby on Rails for Web development and how other .NET developers can do the same.

How to Install Ruby, Rails, MySQL, and RMagick on Windows
The 'Unofficial Ruby on Rails Blog' has put together a great article about how to install Ruby, Ruby on Rails, MySQL, and RMagick on Windows. It gives the ideal places to download each part from in order to avoid nasty errors, and should act as a good resource for any Windows-based developers to set up their environment.
Prototype Windows and Ajax Scaffold Dreams
I started writing a blog article on how to integrate the cool prototype windows and ajax_scaffold, half way through I got bored of writing it and just decided to upload my mutated version of it.
You need to manually install the prototype window javascript. Any one with basic rails knowledge should be able to do this.
Its just a quick hack by the way..
