Reset iOS Simulator With a Rake Task
A slight annoyance while developing with RubyMotion is having to reset the iOS Simulator. It is quite frustrating to use a mouse sometimes to perform a repetitive task, so I thought it would be nice to simplify that to run it in a command line.
By executing AppleScript using the osascript command, we can call the "Reset Content and Settings" menu item in the simulator and have it reset by running the following rake task:
rake simulator:resetTime to Market
In the world of software development, time-to-market is the driving force of the business.

Sublime Text 2 Is Awesome
I forgot to mention that I have recently switched my text editor to Sublime Text 2.
At first glance it is very much like Vico and TextWrangler, but there is one extension that makes it much more unique.
Once you install Package Control, the editor transforms into a power-house. The idea is very similar to Coda's Plugin manager, but with a different approach.
The editor is rails friendly and much needed VI extension is available through VintageEx.
Other cool extensions for Sublime Text 2 include: HTML2Halm, CoffeeScript, Coffee Compile… and you can find more packages here.
