This post originated from an RSS feed registered with Ruby Buzz by Tobias Luetke. Original Post: Typo static Feed Title: too-biased Feed URL: http://blog.leetsoft.com/xml/rss/ Feed Description: Read the announcement: CD Baby rewrite in Postgres and Ruby, Baby!CD Baby is going rails. This is huge! If you don’t know CD Baby, its a distribution site with over 80.000 musicians under contract and its one of the biggest digital distributors of audio to Apple iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody, etc.  Read all about it here. What is even more exciting about it is that I’m on board for the rewrite and I had chance to talk to Derek on the phone directly for a consulting session which might have played its little part in the decision to go with rails. Come monday I’ll work together with him and other rails contributor Jeremy Kemper to help crunch those 90k lines of PHP in beautifully compact code for which Rails and Ruby are known. Here is a quote from Derek’s announcement on his weblog: Like a lost soul walkin’ the earth, lookin’ for spirituality, that stumbles upon the right church with the right people at the right time, I’ve found my niche with Ruby. Its little itty-bitty community attracts some brilliant “think different” types with a love for beautiful code that do this for love, not money.

With major help by Damien Pollet we have moved almost all the “active” code of the typo user interface to the client.

Things like “posted 24 minutes ago” now found their new home in javascript. Same goes for deciding whether to display the inline admin controls for comments which were featured in the recent teaser.

There will still be some bugs but however. Thats why I keep this blog running the very latest version of the code. Please post any bugs you find on typo’s trac to help us release a stable version as soon as possible.
