There's a test version online at the moment here - https://kerstman.herokuapp.com/

While it asks for a signup it's just looking for a valid unique email so you can use pretty much anything. The matching stage is the only point where emails are actually dispatched


In theory yes, a feature that requires more work shouldn’t make it’s way into dev really.


But I don't always know it will require more work.


I used to use github but I’ve moved towards gitlab in the past while as my need for private repos dropped in scale


I'll add some information on the homepage. I made sure I was clear to release this before I left the company I made it at


Should have said while it does ask for an email during signup it doesn't require any activation and will work so long as the email address is in a valid format


I might be wrong but would the trick maybe be to break it down bit by bit, so for instance break off your existing file upload stuff and replace it with CarrierWave or something different. I don't know what your codebase is like but doing it that way should in theory make it more copable to slowly tick it up to rails 3+


Yeah, that's likely the best way to do it. Problem is, our image uploads now number in the high hundreds of thousands (not counting thumbnails).

The other problem is, we are short-staffed. So, if I tackle this, it takes me off other projects for 2+ weeks.

It looks like there is a fairly active Rails 3 fork of attachment_fu (what we use): https://github.com/pothoven/attachment_fu


Gotcha, there's also some information on migrating to paperclip[1] which might suit and I'm sure someone will have done similar for CarrierWave. Of course none of that helps with being short staffed.

Looks cool, I grabbed AKMYPYNNRPP9

Thanks!


I was trying to think of the last time I had to use !important or similar and sure enough it's in my IE specific stylesheet


It's extra bizarre when you consider that Daniel still seems to be (based on his G+) developing for the S3


He said he planned to switch to the Xperia T, but I guess he will want to leave something at least workable for the S3 before that.

EDIT: not sure about the current state of things, seems that this is a translation from an interview that happened several months ago, which explains why the Xperia T wasn't out yet.


Yeah, I've kept a close eye on this since I own an S3 and run CM and he's definitely still working on it from what I've seen. That might be related to Samsung saying they'd be more open going forward though


It looks like this was submitted (May 2011) before Google announced Project Glass (Apr 2012)


And people have been thinking about augmented reality for decades.
