How I Celebrated Whyday 2011
My contributions on Whyday this year aren’t poignant. It was just nice to set aside some of those “I should do that at some point” tasks. I celebrated a day early because I had family visiting on the actual day, August 19th, 2011.
I ran all the test suites for all of my actively maintained gems with the -W option to enable warnings and updated my code to correct the warnings. I also removed the Gemfile.lock for those gems where it was checked into git. The following projects got updates:
- constant-redefinition: Allows you to define constants if not defined on an object and redefine constants without warning.
- hipchat-api: Ruby gem for interacting with the HipChat API.
- tasty: Ruby gem for interacting with the del.icio.us API.
- brightcove-api (aka Ruby-MAPI-Wrapper): Ruby gem for interacting with the Brightcove Media API.
- leaderboard: Leaderboards backed by Redis in Ruby.
As the Whyday site says, “The things Why brought to our community aren’t just for one day each year!”
