Graham Ashton

You’ve stumbled across the site of Graham Ashton — a web developer from Manchester who currently works in London. I develop web apps using Ruby on Rails, Sinatra and Django, and enjoy creating really slick user interfaces with web standards and unobtrusive JavaScript.

I’m the author of Nesta, a file based CMS and maintain a Ruby oriented blog over at Effectif Development.

Writing

• Fixing the Xcode Project Templates
• Ruby Manor
• 3 Unix commands for finding performance problems
• Tools of the trade

On Twitter

• @maccman I prefer adium's approach — it always asks if I want to postpone it, while telling me about the changes.
• Today I upgraded 7 apps to Ruby 1.9, Rails 2.3.5 and bundler 0.9. Don't talk to me about 3.0… (actually do, it looks great).

You can follow me at @grahamashton.

In code

• gma/nesta: Ooops, rake needs "bundle exec" on the front of it too.
• gma/nesta: Updated README to reflect Textile and bundler changes.
• gma/nesta: Install gem dependencies with bundler. Left align the main heading.
• gma/bundler-bin: Fixed more docs; we need $HOME not ~.
