Status update on Ruby Zen (Ruby Appliance, remember?)

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

Image via Wikipedia

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 [...]

Adopt A Library: ClothRed

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

Right. I want to, but I really can’t get to it.
ClothRed is in dire need of help. Your help.

A Ruby Appliance

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

What is an “Appliance”?

However, the Ruby ecosystem is very *NIX centric. Not everyone has the luxury, or time or ability, to setup and maintain a [...]

Ruby + vim on Windows

Monday, December 28th, 2009

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 [...]

RMM: Huh?

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009

The Twitter/Ruby on Rails world is abuzz with the “Rails Maturity Model”.
So, curious fellow that I am, I have taken a look at the website.
And I’m left with a big “huh?”
Yes, that’s right, I have no idea what it is about. And I have the feeling that I’m not alone in this. A lot of [...]
