At work we just went live with a project for Earth Hour, which began it’s life in Sydney as a 1 hour event where everyone turns their lights off - including big business. Well, this year, it’s going global. Spread the word!

For those interested in the technology, we used RoR and Radiant.

Over at my work blog, we have just uploaded a post about how we created a Flash Text Cloud for one of our recent clients.

Bottom line, if you are in need of a faux tag cloud made in Flash, there is both a download and example for you to enjoy. And if you’re interested in tossing up how to go about creating your own tag (or text) cloud, we’ve also outlined the reasons we used Flash and not CSS.

Just a short note (while I give my brain a break from the AS3 learning), to mention that the Redant site (where I work) has been updated.

For those interested, we moved to Radiant, a neat Ruby CMS. It was a relatively painless process - although Ben and Toby may have more of an opinion on that one. But I think the site looks gret now, and hopefully we’ll be able to live with it for while.

So you like coding in Ruby, but want to optimise your production speed? Rails and Vim. OJ, this one’s for you.

We are in the process of experimenting with Radiant CMS at work, and while looking at the sites that have been built with it, I stumbled across an excellent (and aparently well loved) Ruby site called Try Ruby (in your browser).

I’m sure im the last person in the world to have visited this site - but in case im not, go check it out. For beginner ROR’s like myself, it offers a really nice inline tutorial interface, and for advanced ROR’s… well im sure you know what you can do better than me!!
