Ruby Port for AROS

david — Tue, 11/03/2009 - 09:06

A couple of weeks back, I had a some success with creating a port of Ruby to AROS operating system with the help from mazze of the aros-exec.org forum.

I started with a port of miniruby, which is a bootstrap ruby interpreter used in the ruby distribution compile process.  This worked splendidly once mazze helped me chase down fixes for the last few missing symbols in the compile process.

Dave's Mozilla Booter

david — Fri, 03/31/2006 - 03:24

A little tool that I put together. Dave's Mozilla Booter was made to launch Mozilla applications (such as Firefox) with the Profile Manager switch on my Mac without having to type: /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -profilemanager into a terminal.

Made some progress with PostPod

david — Thu, 03/16/2006 - 05:16

I finally have PostPod working in some useable fashion. The interface is still a bit basic (as in the list cannot be sorted) and the mp3 ID3 parsing sometimes throws a fit with particular files. I've decided to use VLC as the media player and hook into it from Ruby using the http interface. Not the most elegant way to do things, true, but it does work across all three Mac, Linux and Windows platforms.
