We’ve just launched Graduate Careers, a new site for our good friends over at Withers Worldwide.
We selected a handful of trainees from Withers, gave them each a video camera and asked them to capture their typical working day. The aim of the game was to give a realistic view of what it’s like to work [...]

SVN Branching/tagging and Redmine integration
From Head London, 2 months ago,
0 comments
Here at Head, we use Redmine for our issue-tracking and collaboration needs, and it’s truly great. We’ve now replaced Trac, which was also really good, but we’re finding that the multiple-projects support in Redmine really trumps the single-project-per-installation model of Trac.

Installing Phusion Passenger on Centos With a Custom Apache2
From Head London, 5 months ago,
0 comments

Today we’re making the big move to running our Rails apps on Phusion Passenger (a.k.a mod_rails), but we ran into some problems with the [...]
