In my code ramblings during the developement of Code Zauker, I ended up studing a bit NoSql database.
Code zauker started using Redis, because Redis is a very bold memory-based no-sql db. Redis also support complex data type like sorted set, lists and so on, which was very userful. Anyway I needed a very fast way of doing statistics on data collected by code zauker, for inspecting data and finding out new feature I’d like to add to it. Worst, my current pocket pose a hard limit on a redis instance in terms of available RAM. So I started thinking a lot about a redis drop-in replacement for Code Zauker.

Resizing a debian disk is a bit complex on Oracle VirtualBox.
But this article will free you from the hassle, and will also work with older virtual box versions!
When Google Code was shut down, I have the lucky to read this article on how it worked. The article give you a bunch of Google-Go code. Because Go-language is too small and unusual for my brain, I took the idea and reimplemented it using Ruby and Redis.
And because my nickname is Daitangio, I decided to call the project like the Daitarn3 antagoinst: the Code Zauker![1]
The beta gem is available here

Preludio
L’ultima volta che ho provato Ruby è stato nell’aprile del 2005. Avevo sviluppato un paio di progetti di test in RubyOnRails, che allora era già produttivo. Ruby era affascinante, ma la libreria base mi sembrava ancora in stato embrionale e lo abbandonai. RubyOnRails non mi è mai sembrato avesse un vantaggio competitivo rispetto a framwork come CakePHP o Python Django.

As you know, emacs rocks. This blog post give us an “Emacs Sitemap” for the newbies, and I stress…(edited content…)
[…]
- EmacsWiki: you probably already know this one, but it’s pretty useful for a variety of reasons.
- EmacsRocks / @Emacsrocks: it’s a series of screencasts showing off cool, advanced Emacs features. Each screencast is very short and focused on one thing. Instant awesome.
- EmacsRookie / @EmacsRookie: a blog with articles about different Emacs trips & tricks and features. More geared towards beginners (but my impression is that many people stay “beginners” of Emacs for quite a long time).
- Steve Yegge described “10 Specific Ways to Improve Your Productivity With Emacs“. In particular, I’d recommend making Caps-Lock behave as an extra Control key (I didn’t swap, I just have one more Control key), invoke M-x without the Meta key (both C-x C-m and C-c C-m) and being comfortable with the buffer commands. For navigation, apart from incremental search, you can also use ace-jump.
- Christian Johansen has an interesting intro article to Emacs Lisp.
- hippie-expand is a pretty cool completion system, familiarise yourself with it.
- yasnippet. Very cool snippet system. Just have a look at the EmacsRocks screencast on yasnippet.
