Following is nice post-production video from dreamfield
Fake but overall looks interesting.

Also this lead to nice article on Gorilla Arm , Worth reading.

Recently, We wanted to implement full text search.

First obvious tool that we tried was Sphinx but indexing speed of sphinx comes with great compromise for our use case. It doesn’t index arbitrary data from methods of model. Because the way it utilize sql to make faster indexing I guess.

Next choice was solr, and to use it with ruby I searched on github and found sunspot , we are still testing but initial reaction seems positive. Using it with Merb was painless mostly need to have look at sunspot_rails

I might have more information about its performance and stability soon.

I have decided to remove all the random content from site and focus mainly on technical content. Also trying to keep clean look of site.

Hopefully, I will put more interesting contents soon.
