Don’t get me wrong, I love working with Capistrano, but sometimes it’s a bit over-kill. All I want to do is compress my stuff and just deploy up to a server for the client to see. Also, at times, some clients don’t give me SSH access and I have to use FTP, so it doesn’t quite work.
So, I’ve written my own little deploy script. It may be a bit crap, I don’t really care as it just works. It’s small, uses things like the YUI compressor for concat-ing and compressing CSS and JS; also optipng for downsizing the images; and finally ncftp when SSH isn’t there.

After months of fruition, long transatlantic phone calls and late night code fixes, the fruits of our labour is now live for all to see: The Olympics ‘Best Of Us Challenge’. Go on, see if you can beat them!
It’s a great gadget and it’s really been worth it. I remember when I first got the phone call from the agency, Mekanism, who I must say are great and it’s been an absolute pleasure working with them, I thought that this is going to be a huge gadget. Again, it took a lot of determination, conference call, and lots and lots of new code and cleaning up of old code to get to this great gadget.
Now the last push is sticking it up on the brand channel but I’m sure that that’s coming very soon!
Much love to everyone who I worked with at Mekanism and I hope that they’re as proud of it as I am.

Update: I’ve added a nice little example below and all the code is up on Github.
So, I’ve been working on a simple tool that outlines how easy it is to upload a video to YouTube through your own web application.
Before you read this tutorial, it’s worth going through the YouTube GData API.
Now you may be asking yourself: “why would anyone need this?”, well think about this scenario:
