Unspace.ca: The Agony, The Ecstasy 2
Unspace.ca has released some interesting code to the open source community this year. September 13th, 2006 has them unleashing the first Rails plugin code that will make you want to gouge out your own eyes upon viewing the example code.
"The Agony" in the title of this post relates to the release of the HAML plugin. (Somewhat irresponsibly linked to by me, seriously please don't gouge out your eyes) Why, oh why, did they decide to combine white space sensitivity with HTML? Is there a disgruntled postal worker/Python programmer working there or what? Perhaps it is used in some sort of hazing ritual for their new employees.
On the other hand we have "The Ecstasy", the very useful Datagrid. This is an excellent and worthy open source release. It combines functionality with a great example of use. Granted it would be nice if it was packaged as a Rails plugin, but back in March adding routes in a plugin would have been difficult.
Anyway, I am looking forward to see what Unspace.ca will do next, hopefully they will serve up more of "The Ecstasy"

I thought google spent some time deciding what sites it returned on its search results page. I did a search for trained monkies and I get this computer tech stuff. Sure I learned some stuff from your site. But how does that help me, when my monkey is still throwing things at me when I sit in front of my computer? I came here to get some insight from a monkey training professonal and that's what I expect. Please explain to me, how I can stop my monkey from throwing cardboard covered gas station pizza at me, while trying to read the latest released IM's from Foley's office?

Indeed, that is an oversight on my part. I'll look at adding a "monkey training" section soon. Here is a good link to get you started with your monkey: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGoYxskFW_U
