11.14.06Mashed biztato and adding valueThe notion of adding value to your workplace is one that is building traction among progressive companies. Making things better by being innovative and unafraid to try something new is a long way from a new idea, but the MBAs for whom the bottom line is the be-all and end-all are slowly being replaced by more progressive thinkers for whom the notion of everything being about people isn't so foreign.

11.05.06Ruby on Rails, OpenLaszlo and OS X - can it work?Dear Lazyweb I'm trying to get Ruby on Rails and OpenLaszlo to play on OS X (so I have an OS X equivalent of what's described here). I cannot for the life of me get the OpenLaszlo bit to work with RoR. Everything installs and behaves beautifully as far as I can tell. Right up until I try to generate the applet, at which point, lots of stuff happens, except for the generation of all the OpenLaszlo .lzx files and associated bits and pieces. It just doesn't happen... No errors, just no /app/applet. Also, if I try to run ...
