Links for 7-19

The various shiny objects that caught my eye lately.

11 Ways of Staying Focused – Probably my biggest challenge, I need all the help I can get.

Top 14 Stumbling Blocks for New Businesses – Some of this I’ve seen elsewhere, but there’s soom good points in here.

What is a Wiki – And How to Use One for Your Project – I know what a wiki is, but this is a good introduction on how to leverage them for projects.

The Four-Day Week Challenge – Cutting back to a four day work week. It’s a great idea, but I don’t think my boss is going to go for that :)

Rails Manual – Just like http://api.rubyonrails.org, except the interface doesn’t completely suck eggs.

Rails Tips – The extremely prolific Peter Cooper (seriously, does he sleep?) releases something new, Rails Tips, which although part of the previously mentioned Ruby Inside site, is actually a completely separate site, with a number of useful tips. Seems similar to his Snippets site, but limited to Rails stuff.

    Thank you, sir! Yeah, I sleep, but I don't seem to like doing anything but working lately.. so enjoy while I'm in this mood. Of course, it'd be nice to get the 'world's biggest' set of Rails tips above 26 tips, but all in good time ;-)
