Tools of the Trade: Web development tools list

Well, it's not mine, but it's great.
Dion Almaer's Web resources page includes a shiny list of web resources/tools/tips he uses when developing web applications (on PHP though, baaah.).
He indicates that some of the links are outdated, but promises to fix it. as soon as possible.

Looking for a RoR team

Well, it's time to move on and work on marketing my new application (can't tell you what it is yet :) ), but i need a dedicated, professional Rails+Client Side development team to support the final stage of development, and to continue supporting further changes.
I heard about people getting teams in India, and some companies offer services for out-sourcing code, but i prefer at the moment to find a team (india, USA doesn't matter) that will support my application and will be ready to put some real work into it.
anyway, if anyone is interested, post me a message on linkedin.
basically the skills i need are

* Ruby on Rails experience (2.x)
* Client side (JQuery, MooTools, MochaUi is a great plus).
* CSS and some basic design capabilities.
* DBA (MySQL, Oracle experience will be a great advantage).
* Amazon AWS+S3+EC2 experience.
* ability to work remotely.

i will prefer a whole team, rather than finding these skills in specific programmers and building the team myself.

UPDATE: All positions are filled, thank you everyone!

TextMate Bundle of Bundles: getBundle

From Macroomates
There are 124 bundles for TextMate where only 36 are included by default. Until recently, the way to get more bundles has been to install subversion and then do a checkout of the bundles needed (from the shell.) or download a .tmbundle file.

Now there is a much easier way: the GetBundle bundle by Sebastian Gräßl. All you need to do is download and double click it to get an “Install Bundle” command which you can invoke from inside TextMate (hint: use ⌃⌘T and enter “install”.)

There is also an “Update all Bundles” command which you can use to update your custom installed bundles to the latest version. A future version of the bundle is likely to offer a launchd Daemon that you can install to have updating taken care of automatically.

All bundles installed via the GetBundle end up in ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Pristine Copy/Bundles.

Javascript logging, all hail to BlackBird

Everybody likes birds recently, Yahoo with their eagle, FireFly (it's not a bird, but close enough for me).
This particular bird offers a dead-simple way to log messages in
JavaScript and an attractive console to view and filter them. You
might never use alert() again as they declared.
