TOY ROBOT NEWS: The new Super Robot Chogokin toys can mix and match parts with the old ones. Here we have Gurren-Lagann with Shin Mazinger’s wings and a Rocket Punch. Source and more (Gunbuster, the other Mazingers): http://tamashii.jp/special/gurrenlagann_gunbuster/

I feel very strongly about Gunbuster.

Vendor Everything, even custom gems

Thu, 14 Apr 2011 23:46:07 -0700

Now that we have both RVM and Bundler, you’re following the advice in this article to keep all your gems in source control, right?

No? Why not? “I have a custom fork that isn’t on github?” Pfshaw!

1. Put a ‘:git’ option for the gem to your repo on disk. e.g:

gem ‘my_custom_gem’, ‘1.0.0’, :git=>’file://path/to/your/repo’

2. Follow the steps in the article:

bundle install —path vendor’

bundler package

Make sure the .gem for your custom gem is in vendor/cache.

3. Remove the :git flag for that gem in your Gemfile and run

bundle install —path vendor

again to remove the git references from Gemfile.lock.

4. Check in vendor/cache/*, and .bundle/config to source control.

There now, that wasn’t so hard. And now you don’t have to worry about losing the original git repo, or reinstalling the custom gem on every deploy.

timeliness: “Fast date/time parser with customisable formats, timezone and I18n support.” Not only does it realize the difference between US(mm-dd-yyyy) and Euro(yyyy-mm-dd) formats, it allows for easy overriding, with simple text strings instead of strftime tokens.

reckon: “automagically converts CSV files for use with the command-line accounting tool Ledger.” A decent Ledger converter is great in and of itself, but reckon can also guess account names if you feed it a previous ledger file.

Additionally, if you write a Ruby command-line tool and haven’t been using trollop, this is your warning to change your wicked ways.

Gavok again showcases his amazing ability to find tie-in comics that end up better than their source material deserved.

I love this director’s style. It’s not just that it’s reminiscent of Studio 4°C, but it’s the delicious playfulness for art styles and motion. Along with “Full Moon Party”, this to me is what animation is really all about.

(Now feeling guilty that I still haven’t seen Noiseman Sound Insect or Genius Party)
