For the last one month, I have been working on an android app for a grocery store. I have been using PhoneGap to develop the solution as the client wanted both Android and Iphone version. I have tried building the app in native Android but going through the hassle of designing css was just too much for me and plus I did not had time to learn Iphone development. There was a short learning phase for PhoneGap and the results were awesome.

So what’s new here? Well I was playing around with Phonegap to build a small android and ios app. I was able to build a small weather app using Yahoo weather api but then I came across Sencha Touch 2. I wanted to build the same app in Sencha Touch and compare the two platforms for developing mobile apps and as ap part of its get started tutorial I had to drop the Sencha Touch in a web server.

Long long time ago in a far far away land….. I am just kidding. So I needed a gem to do file uploads(in my case images but you can upload anything) and I was looking at various options. Paperclip is a popular option but there is a new kid on the block (so i read in various forums)… Carrierwave. Now I have not used Paperclip but what I read was that Carrierwave is more flexible and powerful than Paperclip so if are interested then keep reading.

I struggled a lot doing this on my mac. I prepared steps and notes while I was upgrading. here are the steps for mac osx.

Yes, there are still a few lost soul who still have a Hotmail account and I am one of them :-). I have used Iphone in the past and use an android phone now, however I always complained that I was not able to set up an IMAP account for Hotmail. I always had a POP3 account 🙁 What does IMAP and POP3 mean? – For beginner who do not understand what is IMAP and POP3, here’s a small description.

CAUTION: Please excuse the diction/grammar/spelling. It’s 3 AM and I am in a hurry to sleep as I need to drop my friends to airport in exactly 4 hrs. So I was trying to set up this new application for my wife. I was using galleria plugin to show a slide like image. Everything was working fine in development so I decided to see how it would look like in production environment if it was deployed in a cloud or virtual server.
