Ruby on Rails on .NET?

admin Leave a comment

The lead on the Ruby.Net project throws his support behind IronRuby, though not all supporters agree with the move.

Two efforts to deliver an implementation of the Ruby language on the .Net platform have merged into one. Or have they?

Rather than continue to chase the same goal, Wayne Kelly, a lecturer at the Queensland University of Technology and the lead on the Ruby.Net project, said he is refocusing his efforts on Microsoft’s IronRuby implementation. The Queensland University of Technology is based in Brisbane, Australia.

However, some supporters of the Ruby.Net project are considering keeping it going as a “stepping stone” while IronRuby is being developed.

Kelly, who presented the progress of the Ruby.Net project  Jan. 29 at the Lang.Net conference on Microsoft’s Redmond, Wash., campus, announced Feb. 4 that he now plans to support the IronRuby effort.

In a blog post Feb. 5, John Lam, a Microsoft engineer who is heading up the IronRuby project, extended a “warm welcome to Wayne, and we invite anyone else who wants to work on IronRuby to join our Open Source project. Microsoft Research funded a portion of the development of Ruby.net, and their parser lives on in IronRuby thanks to the excellent work that Wayne did in producing the Gardens Point Parser Generator.”

How to Register .ID domain names

admin Leave a comment

To register the domain .CO.ID, local owner presence is required and domain name must be similar to company name or exact match of registered trademark in Indonesia. If you own the registered trademark for the domain but do not have a local contact, a local contact can be arranged for you, at a cost of $100 per year per domain. You must have a registered trademark in Indonesia to register .co.id domain names.

To register a trademark in Indonesia, you will need to visit http://www.dgip.go.id/ or contact an attorney to file for an Indonesian trademark. For more information about international trademarks, visit http://www.wipo.int/madrid/en/ . To search existing trademarks visit http://www.wipo.int/ipdl/en/search/madrid/search-struct.jsp and select “mark”, enter your word in the corresponding field and click “search”.

As far as we know, there is no .com.id, only .co.id is allowed.  To register a .co.id (no such thing as .com.id), you will need to have a business registered in Indonesia. If you are unable to meet this restriction, you can still register a .web.id domain.
