		<title>Ramaze Error Handling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently had to build custom 404 &#38; exception handlers for a Ramaze application. There are several useful discussions on the Ramaze Google Group regarding this topic but I thought I&#8217;d synthesize the solution here for the sake of convenience.
Handling 404 Errors
Ramaze has a built-in controller action to handle 404 errors; it presents a vanilla page [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mellow Musings by Hugo RB for Free</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps not a post pertinent to the software development world but one which I hope you&#8217;ll enjoy nonetheless. My brother, Hugo RB released his debut album in late 2009 to a local audience in Port Perry, Ontario. The album consists of six original &#8216;folk/jazz&#8217; songs written and performed by himself and recorded/mixed by Theo Posthumus.

		<title>Podcasts &amp; Big Ideas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lately I&#8217;ve started listening to a lot of podcasts &#8211; I&#8217;ve always enjoyed good talk radio but its never on when I want it to be and I have no control over what the topic is. For me, podcasts solve both of those problems. While I&#8217;m not going to start reviewing podcasts on a regular [...]]]></description>

		<title>Running Ramaze with Unicorn, Nginx and God</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been meaning to write a post about running a Ramaze website under a reasonable setup for a long time now so I&#8217;m happy to finally get to it. I&#8217;m going to focus my attention on the configuration of the setup vs the installation of the software - RACK, Ramaze, Unicorn and God are ruby gems and there are plenty of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ramaze Partials with Etanni</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Innate/Ramaze Version: 2009-10
Template Engine: Etanni
The title of this blog post is a little inaccurate as what I&#8217;m actually going to describe are Etanni partials but considering Etanni is the default template engine in Innate/Ramaze 2009-10 I figured &#8220;Ramaze Partials&#8221; was a fair generalization.
Etanni partials are easy to work with and as Pistos points out below [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rails Alternatives: Merb, Sinatra &amp; Ramaze</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the past few months I&#8217;ve been on the hunt for a Ruby web framework to replace Rails as my weapon of choice when building an online presence. Rails struck me as being overly heavy in this context and I wanted something lighter.
I was primarily looking for a web framework that, out of the box, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bridging the gap</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mike Gunderloy started off this week by announcing an exciting new initiative: Rails Bridge. Its mission statement says it all:
To create an inclusive and friendly Ruby on Rails community
To give a bit of context to my excitement&#8230; Up until this time I could sum up my view of the Rails community in one sentence:
Novices need [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting Classy with Sinatra</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had heard about the Sinatra Ruby web DSL a while back but I had not had a chance to play with it until a few days ago. I&#8217;m happy to say it was a highly enjoyable experience. I accomplished what I was trying to do very quickly thanks to the good documentation and intuitive [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ruby on Linux with jEdit</title>

Ideally this editor would be cross platform because, on occasion I do have to load up Windows and if possible I wanted to avoid having a [...]]]></description>

WP Framework is a blank Word Press(WP) theme that you can use to easily setup a your own theme for your WP blog. When I started this blog I debated whether or not I wanted to spend the time putting [...]]]></description>
