Rails Rumble 2007: Reduxbook receives Honorable Mention
So looks like Team RSB didn't win any of the top three places for the Rails Rumble competition, though we received an honorable mention. So no new toys for me! 
During the voting period, I noticed Reduxbook go as high as 2nd place, so for a period of time, I was quite excited. Though we sunk to somewhere!
Tasty Planner won first place, with Checkbook coming in second, and Admiteer in third.
These apps most definitely showed a polish that I think we most definitely lacked.
My only remaining chance of winning something big now is the Award on Rails. Luck don't leave me now!
Rails Rumble 2007: Reduxbook
Yes, I know this is a bit late, but a few weeks ago on the weekend of September 8th to the 9th, I participated in the first ever Rails Rumble competition. The goal of the competition was to build a Ruby on Rails application in 48 hours, basically the whole weekend. The prizes for Rails Rumble are really enticing. The winners are decided from the public voting for the best application.
Kamal, Kegan, and Sean and myself were camping out in RSB in Cyberjaya for most of the time. Found lunch and dinner there, though there really wasn't much to eat over there.
Our application idea was to build a contacts aggregator from the various services out there. Be it Twitter, Digg, Delicious, Flickr, or your very own blog feed. We dubbed it Reduxbook.
At the start, Kamal handled the server and setting up the continuous deployment via Capistrano. Sean covered the HTML markup and design. Kegan looked at integrating the services. As for myself I hacked away at application's source code.
The first few hours went okay, but as the 24 hour mark came by, we knew we were in a pinch. The last 24 hours was a real adrenaline rush, and it went by really really fast. But we were able to pull it through with an all nighter.
Don't forget to vote for Reduxbook !
