Groundwork

People seem to like this thing I made!

I wrote a tool, in Ruby, that helps you make empty project templates. I call it Groundwork. You tell it what your projects consist of (like, a manifest file with a certain format, a directory called "lib", a directory called "doc", etc) and then you can create them easily. It comes with a template for a rubygem (which is why I made it in the first place) and you can define more, edit them, etc. It's pretty handy if you're into that sort of thing.

So I uploaded it to rubygems.org, since that's easy to do now. And it's been downloaded over 160 times!

You can download it too, if you want. Just type "gem install groundwork" in the console, if you have Ruby and Rubygems installed.

"[The oxygen cylinder] departed the scene of the accident like an artillery shell. It re-entered the affairs of the world a quarter of a mile away, plunging through the roof of an apartment, completely trashing the place (and severing a natural gas line in the process)."
