A humble list of various pieces of code

Pavel

Pavel (Paretoset Analysis Visualization and Evaluation) is a tool for interactively displaying and evaluating large sets of highdimensional data. Its main intended use is the analysis of result sets from multi-objective evolutionary algorithms applied to machining problems but it can basically work with any kind of multidimensional data.

The project was developed as a student research project at Dortmund University since in October 2006. When the project was nearing its end at year later, the software was usable but still left room for improvement. To make the effort spent worthwhile, it was decided to release the software as opensource in the hope that others may find it useful and to enable development to continue.

A dummy mailserver implemented in Ruby, running on the commandline. It just spits out whatever it receives. I used it for testing PHP apps that send mails via SMTP

Rails Plugins

REST in Place

REST in Place is an AJAX Inplace-Editor that talks to RESTful controllers. It requires absolutely no additional server-side code.

DBSerialize

Dbserialize provides two rake tasks to store your current environments database tables to Yaml fixtures in db/fixtures and to fill the database with these fixtures.

That way it’s possible to store sample data consistently in the repository and for all developers on a project to use common sample data instead of manually generating something on every developer machine or sending database dumps around via email.
