Funny how new ideas tend to revert back to the old ways on the web, as the trend-movers realize that they weren’t as bright as they seem at first sight. Dot-com is the only flavour that apperantly works (even at the brink of an opening for more flexible url formats in process at ICANN. Old [...]

Not cool… Not cool at all.
Or it might happen that I’m just not relevant enough. Yay!

yahoo-finance is my first published RubyGem: it’s a very very simple tool I used while developing CanalFinancas to retrieve real-time prices of Brazilian stocks. So after having it done, why not making it public?
Usage is dead simple:
gem install yahoo-finance
And then:
require ‘yahoo_finance’
quotes = Yahoo::Finance.quotes(["VALE5.SA"], [:last_trade_price_only, :trade_date])
puts “#{quotes[0].symbol}: #{quotes[0].last_trade_price_only} on #{quotes[0].trade_date}”
Couldn’t be possibly easier…

Ta aí um site “Ajax powered” bastante útil: para quem precisa da documentação do Ruby on Rails sempre a mão, um prato cheio.
Em tempo: O GotApi também é um prato cheio - e ainda tem documentação de muitas outras coisas, de SQL a CSS. Bookmark obrigatório!

The latest, latest trend on Web 2.0 (I bet people will soon start calling it “web 2.1″ really seems to be launching video-capable sites for everything. Social networks where you don’t type - you record yourself trying to look funny.
The last “video social network” I’ve been through is vator.tv - a place for users to [...]

Eu adoro quadrinhos geek. Eles traduzem perfeitamente o dia-a-dia de quase todo desenvolvedor de software. E falando em webcomics, um amigo acaba de lançar um projeto realmente interessante: o CodeComics conta a história de ratos desenvolvedores de software, em sua batalha pelo queijo nosso de cada dia.
Parabéns ao Hugo e seu grande projeto!
