Just a reminder that Desert Code Camp is this Saturday, June 13th, at the DeVry University Phoenix campus. It’s 100% free and has content for pretty much all your popular languages, so developers and students don’t have much of an excuse not to go. You’ll want to register now and pick your sessions to make sure there’s enough space.
“Code Camps are about the developer community at large. They are meant to be a place for developers to come and learn from their peers. Topics are always based on community interest and never determined by anyone other than the community…Code Camps are always free for attendees…The success of the Code Camps is that they are based on community content. All content that is delivered is original. All presentation content must be provided completely (including code) without any restriction. If you have content you don’t want to share or provide to attendees then the Code Camp is not the place for you.”

On Wednesday, August 20th, 2008 we’re hosting a free event at OpenRain HQ with Refocus Phoenix to get your computer monitor rendering colors correctly. If you’re a web designer, photographer or other graphics professional that is not using a custom color profile, this is a must-do process. I mean it. You owe it to your clients. We ran a tiny experiment to see if people found our internal profiles valuable and the feedback has been tremendously positive, so it’s time to take it up a notch. The process is..
- Bring in your monitor. Laptops and personal machines are more than welcome, too, but you’ll need to install the software component of the calibration tool. (I doubt it’ll run on Linux, sorry.)
- We strap on a hardware colorimeter and run some software. (Takes ~20 minutes, depending on the tweakability of your monitor.)
- An .icc color profile is generated with which you keep, use and immediately benefit. OpenRain uses and recommends OS X for graphics work, in which we have had no issues with custom .icc files.
There’s no substitute for having a profile created for your specific monitor, and it’s happening here for free in August!
To design out any issues with unattended hardware, we’ll provide pizza, soda and water so you can stay close to your beloved monitor at all times.

We do Rails, and we’ve been keeping a secret from you.
You can grab some of the tools we maintain for our own production Rails apps for free. Now, we’re not going to give you all our marbles, but there’s nothing quite sweeter than commercially-funded Open Source software, especially when it’s written in Ruby, and by people that do it for a living. Add the following URL to your plugin repository list like so..
script/plugin source http://code.openrain.com/rails/
I’d recommend checking out OpenRain Power Tools first for a slew of tiny wins. We’ll be providing examples of how to use this stuff, so stay tuned!
