Ruby On Rails

There seems to be a bug in Thin that keeps erroring out when you try to run “thin start.” It would complain that the Rails 2.3.5 gem is not installed even though it shows up on a “gem list” command. It seems like the problem has something to do with the way Thin handles Rack. If you “gem uninstall -v”, all the newer versions and keep Rack 1.0.1 it seems to run perfectly fine.

I hope this helps anybody that else that uses Thin.

Our team at ShoeDazzle.com has just switched our emailing providers to Silverpop. Unfortunately, there weren’t any existing Ruby projects that integrated with Silverpop’s XML API. After several weeks of development, I have finished a simple, but working framework to generate the XML code for Silverpop’s Engage and Transact service. XML code can be submitted through a HTTP/HTTPS post service or through FTP uploads.

In the spirit of open source and with permission from my awesome manager, I am releasing the code under the MIT license for other developers that are looking to integrate their Rails project with Silverpop. You can clone a copy from http://github.com/georgetruong/silverpop

Good luck and hope this helps.
