Dr. Dobbs Journal published a great article, showing how to implement OpenID for Ruby on Rails.
The author, Jeremy Weiskotten, demonstrates how an OpenID consumer can be implemented using the Ruby on Rails framework. The article provides a short tutorial explaining how OpenID single sign on works, and why it’s important. Next it discusses several issues and complications. The final section provides a solid demonstration tutorial, with plenty of Ruby code examples and some screen shots.

Several months ago I was raving about 30 boxes - the calendar web-tool, todo list manager, and social networking thing. Then I quit using 30 boxes because I started using google calendar.
Just thought you might like to know that 30 boxes is still very cool, and they added a bunch of cool features since the last time I checked.
30 boxes is a very cool web-calendar system. The only thing I don’t like about 30 boxes is having to log in — and it’s not their fault. Sometimes I am too lazy to login to a website for a few weeks. Some people are more pragmatic than me, and will keep trying things until they find something that fits their lifestyle. Google makes it easier (to login to the calendar), since all the google apps are moving toward a common login or common ID for all the google apps.
Then along comes the Open-ID project to make it easier to sign in to all web applications from one common ID management system. We’ll see if Open-ID catches on.
