Ruby WebKit 2
The Ruby-WebKitGtk bindings are usable. Clone them:
git clone git://github.com/danlucraft/rbwebkitgtk.git
or download them. I’m using the WebKit nightly r31823, YMMV. Build instructions for WebKitGtk are here.
To do:
- Finish the methods on WebView.

Ruby WebKit
Update: These bindings are now pretty usable. See here.
This morning I started working on some Ruby bindings for WebKit on GTK. I’ve only been working on them for an hour or so but they can already do this:
require 'src/lib/webkit'
win = Gtk::Window.new
wv = Gtk::WebKit::WebView.new
win.add(wv)
win.show_all
wv.open(’http://www.google.com’)
Gtk.main
to get this:
The Ruby-Gnome2 team have done a fantastic job of making it easy to write Ruby to GTK bindings. I hope to make good progress on these tomorrow.
Github
Github has some serious awesome. I moved Redcar over there yesterday, and in a pleasant suprise, someone called Russ is already ‘watching‘ it.
And Russ himself is working on a cool idea called gitnub-gtk, which is a port of gitnub to Ruby-Gnome. I know this is a cool idea because I had it myself when I first saw gitnub :-).
So thankyou Github, for introducing me to a project that I would never have discovered otherwise, and for helping make my project more widely known. If I had to say one thing: why is there no way to send messages to each other through Github? Seems like an obvious feature.
Shell history
Since everyone seems to be doing it:
$ history|awk '{a[$2]++ } END{for(i in a){print a[i] ” ” i}}’|sort -rn|head
189 ./bin/redcar
51 cd
41 gst
29 git
28 irb
23 less
21 ruby
20 gca
19 ls
13 sudo
I guess it’s pretty obvious what I’m spending my time on :).
