SproutCore and Rails no longer conflict!

Good news–SproutCore has been updated and, among other things, the incompatibility with Rails has been resolved.

Be careful–SproutCore conflicts with Rails

I’m interested in SproutCore, the Javascript application framework that was the belle of WWDC last week and what Apple is using for its new Mobile Me web apps. But be careful, Rails developers–after installing the sproutcore gem last night I started getting Rubigen-related errors when trying to generate anything in a Rails project. Uninstalling SproutCore did the trick.

Quick thought on Mobileme

I’m following Gizmodo’s live coverage of today’s WWDC keynote, and saw Schiller referred to the new Mobileme push e-mail/calendar/etc. app as “enterprise for the rest of us.”

It sure would be interesting to see Apple take on the enterprise with this as a service IT departments could install on their own networks, huh?

No March Madness on Joost for me.

I was pretty excited about live broadcasts of every NCAA tournament game on Joost, especially given CBS’ bad habit of dropping a game of local interest in favor of something nobody outside the east coast cares about. Well, sucks to be me–I’ve been trying, unsuccessfully, all morning to get a game to load.

Adam Ostrow at Mashable got a game to load, but I know it’s not a problem between me and Joost in general–I mean, I got an episode of What’s Happening! to play, no problem. Just no basketball.

It’s too bad, because it looks like CBS has completely dropped the multi-paned live look-in view I always loved so much.
