Sinatra utf-8 Content-Type before filter April 22, 2009
Posted by John Dewey in Code, Example, Sinatra.add a comment
I wanted to learn Sinatra, so I started converting my personal Rails site over to Sinatra. I scrape my Twitterholic rating, and redisplay it on my site. I need the css and html to have a Content-Type of utf-8.
I came up with the following before filter. There is probably a better way to do this, I just wanted my controllers to be less “wet”.
I also use the following to render all css.

gem install that (well kind-of) April 11, 2009
Posted by John Dewey in Code, Plugins & Gems.add a comment
Geminstallthat is a pretty groovy name, which reidmix came up with. What would be really geeky is a gem named ‘that‘, which allows you to read my blog. I didn’t feel like dealing with rubyforge (to get the non-githuby gem name) , so here is a sneak peek at that.
$ gem sources -a http://gems.github.com $ sudo sudo gem install retr0h-that Successfully installed retr0h-that-0.0.0 1 gem installed Installing ri documentation for retr0h-that-0.0.0... Installing RDoc documentation for retr0h-that-0.0.0... $ that
It will display all posts from the time the gem was built to Time.now.

I wanted to automatically upload my bundle_fu assets to Amazon’s s3, and use their Cloudfront CDN for SnGs. I came up with the following rake task, which can be hooked into Vlad.
It’s as simple as adding the following to production.rb, and running the rake task ‘cloud:upload’.
ActionController::Base.asset_host = "cloudfront_url"
