A few days before New Years, I posted how neat it’d be if we had a Ruby Appliance. This, and the mail to the ruby-talk mailing list has resulted in a couple of results already.
For one, we found a name: Ruby Zen, which fits quite well, and is appropriately Web 2.0 without being [...]
Right. I want to, but I really can’t get to it.
ClothRed is in dire need of help. Your help.
I simply don’t have the time, or will–truth be told–to begin work on ClothRed again. The code’s become foreign to me, way too foreign, and I have to get back into the thick of things, to write [...]
What is an “Appliance”?
In this context, an appliance is a ready-to-run virtual machine. No set up to speak of required.
But why? Isn’t it easy to install Ruby wherever you like?
That is very true.
However, the Ruby ecosystem is very *NIX centric. Not everyone has the luxury, or time or ability, to setup and maintain a [...]
I’m used to being shafted as a Ruby and Windows user. The Ruby community is quite *NIX centric.
Speaking of which: Praising “open” and using Macs, makes a hypocrite at best, and an idiot at worst. Use OpenSolaris, *BSD, or Linux if you want to be open in spirit. Or, like me, stop bothering, and use [...]
Ever since I found the Baen Free Library, I fell in love with eBooks, and their convenience (even though I still prefer dead-tree editions).
Ever since I got an iPod Touch, I’ve been reading eBooks on the go. At least, as far as Stanza’s library of content allowed. Which, while extensive, doesn’t cover my taste in [...]
The power of visualizing data, what globalization can really mean, and possible power players. Highly recommended, that one.
Avira Antivir premium: For weeks now, this AV scanner is managing to find false positives. I’m close to deactivating its protection. Fail, Avira, major fail. Guess I won’t buy another year of subscription, but use the competition. But maybe the IE8 compatibility is there by now? I’m not betting on it, tho.
Apple. iTunes made it [...]
Second day of (proper) classes.
Granted, we start early (0800 in the morning. Yay. I’m in need of a nap already..).
Granted, travelling from home to college can take some time (I’m up since 0600, whence me needing a nap).
Gut fuck you (general you), if you ain’t able to properly plan your travel, and show up at [...]
When you enter your serial number, you will be redirected to a website in order to fully register and activate your product. This website will require a new Autodesk login id – different from your student community login id.
Apparently, it isn’t enough to remember Yet Another Set Of Login Credentials(tm) for any [...]

Die gute Tat der Piraten (German) is an article talking about how the relationship artist – record label is changing. The Big 4 labels are moving away from finding and publishing new artists (and risking their investments if an artist isn’t as good as hoped, and doesn’t produce a steady revenue [...]
