Erb to Haml Rake Task

Posted in development on July 19th, 2011 by marcus – Be the first to comment

Love haml but have erb lurking in your code? I stumbled on this rake task looking up ways to get custom Devise views moved to haml to sit nicely w/ the rest of my code:

namespace :erb do
  namespace :to do
    task :haml do
      files = `find . -name *.html.erb`
      files.each_line do |file|
            file.strip!
            `bundle exec html2haml #{file} | cat > #{file.gsub(/\.erb$/, ".haml")}`
      end
    end
  end
end

So now its as easy as ‘rake erb:to:haml’.

Here’s a video pitch I did for Web2NewYork about ticketsandmusic.com. Thought it came out pretty good in terms of ‘site in a nutshell’.

Build a Better Burb : Architectural proposal competition for suburban Long Island

Posted in design, development on July 20th, 2010 by marcus – Be the first to comment

Calling all architects and those with friends who are, a project I did development for is now live. Its an architectural design competition for proposals to rebuild a stretch of land near Levittown or an area near Huntington Stating off the LIRR. Some really nice prizes and a chance to get involved with shaping the future of suburban landscapes.

The site was developed from the design work and direction from the great 10x. The whole thing came together quite nicely.

New Tickets & Music Launched!

Posted in development on June 15th, 2010 by marcus – Be the first to comment

I’m pretty stoked to finally roll out the soft-(re)launch of Tickets and Music. I wanted to create a way for people to get access to the best deals for a given show from any location. I don’t think searching the 3rd party brokers is always the best way to go, sometimes they have the only deal and sometimes they don’t.
