I spent an evening updating glTail to run on Ruby 1.9.1 and the latest net-ssh, and it was easier than expected. You can have a look at my github repo.

Preparing for Rails 2.1
I’ve had a quick go at upgrading ClockingIT to Ruby On Rails 2.1 and the most difficult snag I ran into was a has_and_belongs_to_many relation with a symbol as the join_table parameter which suddenly lacked the downcase method, and had to be changed to a string.
Almost there…
We’ve been hard at work lately and we’ve implemented a new design which we’re both very happy with. I’ve also ripped out domTT and created my own tooltips implementation, as domTT was way overkill and created all kinds of problems with stuck tooltips. I’ve also changed the ajax working indicator into something I think gives [...]

This functionality allowed me to update the completion percent and time estimates on all affected TaskLists when you [...]
Popup Calendars

I’ve finally gotten around to implementing Drag and Drop of a filtered task view in ClockingIT. It took a bit longer than anticipated due to my Ruby newbieness, but I did manage to get it sorted in the end. While I was at it, I ajaxified edit Task / Tasklist, and fixed the popup menu [...]

> It catches your attention when a respected member of the Java development community says Ruby On Rails may be a successor to Java. You’ve heard of Rails, of course. It’s that hot Ruby-based MVC-patterned full-stack framework for developing web applications that babysit databases.

TT => ClockingIT
My wife came up with a new name last week, and now we have the new domain and a new portal in place. Have a looksee at it here. Feel free to try it out as well, it’s free to use and there are no strings attached.
Over the weekend, I implemented commenting on tasks [...]
