  • Acquia, my Drupal startup | Dries Buytaert

  • Designing for Civil Society: Do e-petitions make a real difference? We may never know

    Apparently civil servants talked about doing a formal independent evaluation of the Number 10 petitions website, but then dropped the plans. That’s a shame as there’s a lot more they could do with it and a review would have built pressure for that.

  • Ticketmaster Unleashes the Widget for Its Nefarious Agenda

    Ticketmaster are now offering affiliate schemes, but with only a 1% cut. Given how much most music fans seem to loathe ticketmaster, with their poor service and ridiculous pricing policies, I’m guessing this won’t work well.

  • How to turn your rails site into an OAuth Provider

    OAuth seems to be gaining a lot of traction very quickly, at least in the developer community. That’s great news for anyone who wants to do integration without asking users to hand over all their passwords.

  • Why DataMapper?

    DataMapper is an a Ruby ORM that can be used as an alternative to ActiveRecord. Definitely looks worth a try some time
