Truglaze.com is a website design I recently did for a client. Built with Ruby on Rails, it consists of a full custom CMS with a Flash Application to showcase all his selected photos from a portfolio component.

Just the other day I was browsing through some railscasts from Ryan Bates and noticed he was starting his server with “ss”. It made me pissed that I hadn’t thought of doing that before, I guess because I was so comfortable cd ~/Sites/appname and script/server. So I first wrote some aliases like Ryan’s “ss”, but then thought huh, this could be better… Google to the rescue and I found this code for script/server and then that inspired me to write this code for mate appname. Pretty quick to open and boot apps!

I saw this in a Rails video on Bala Paranj’s website http://rubyplus.org and thought is was a pretty cool way to display different flash messages throughout your app.

<% flash.each do |key, value| -%>
  <div id="notice_<%= key %>"><%= value %></div>
 <% end -%>

Then you can do different flash objects like this:

flash[:success] = "message here"
flash[:error] = "message here"

Then just style the messages with some css and you’ve got a notice div displaying error and success messages with less effort!

I just launched my girlfriends hair salon website Floasis Hair Salon. Looks preeetty good so far even in all browsers. It’s a Ruby on Rails site of course. Nothing too crazy, just a simple interface that is easy to find what your looking for. How all sites should be.

I just put up a quick website to showcase my talent in all fields of web. It’s built on wordpress, it’s all my portfolio stuff and I made it in about 3 hours. I plan on making it a ton better, with more eyecandy user interactive stuff soon. Check it out! http://graphikastudioz.com
