Over at Rethink, the blog of Accordion City-based development shop Unspace, Pete Forde shares his thoughts on the RubyFringe conference in an articles titled RubyFringe was Profitable, People are Happy, and the Sky Didn’t Fall. What Now?”.
The article covers all kinds of things including:
A loving poke at RailsConf (”A 400 person conference doesn’t become better [...]
Here’s a still from what I assume is a propaganda film from World War II titled Rails to Victory. If any of you are planning to do presentations covering the topic of Rails and are looking for some graphics for your slides, you might want to consider this one:

Hampton “HAML” Catlin of Unspace (you know, the development shop that put RubyFringe together) has created a survey that he’d like as many people who code in Ruby to take. It’s quick and painless, and he’ll share the data once he’s compiled it.

Ten installments already? That’s right, this is the tenth Enumerating Enumerable article. As I’m fond of repeating, this is my little contribution to the Ruby community: a series of articles where I attempt to do a better job at documenting Ruby’s Enumerable module than Ruby-Doc.org does, with pretty pictures and more in-depth examples!
In this article, I’m going to cover each_slice, which got introduced in Ruby 1.9.
If you missed any of the earlier articles, I’ve listed them all below:
I’m always happy to point out cool things that my former employer, Tucows, is up to (from 2003 to 2007, I was their Tech Evangelist). The latest one is one I’ve long supported: pulling their reseller services under a single, well-known and trusted name, OpenSRS, and a gorgeous new brand identity:
OpenSRS now refers to a [...]
Welcome to the ninth installment of Enumerating Enumerable, the series of articles where I attempt to do a better job at documenting Ruby’s Enumerable module than Ruby-Doc.org does.
I’m going through the Enumerable’s methods in alphabetical order, and we’ve reached the methods that are variations on each In this article, I’m going to cover each_cons, which got introduced in Ruby 1.9.

Here are my notes on Damian Conway’s presentation, Temporally Quaquaversal Virtual Nanomachine Programming in Multiple Topologically Connected Quantum-Relativistic Parallel Timespaces…Made Easy, which he gave on Wednesday, July 16th at the University of Toronto’s Bahen Centre. This presentation was a dry run for the presentation he made on Tuesday at the O’Reilly Open Source Conference. Damian was in fine form and it was good to catch another one of his funny, off-the-wall presentations; it was a good warm-up for RubyFringe.
Read on for the notes…
After the wackiness of the past couple of weeks — some travel to see family, followed by a busy week of tech events including DemoCamp 18, Damian Conway’s presentation, FAILCamp and RubyFringe — I’m happy to return to Enumerating Enumerable, the article series in which I attempt to do a better job at documenting Ruby’s Enumerable module than Ruby-Doc.org does.

I’ve had to make some quick changes to the appearance while I investigate how someone managed to hack my blog to include a giant list of invisible porn spam links (apparently, “Fart Porn” really exists and isn’t just something that South Park made up). It was spam-a-riffic enough to make Google send me an email [...]
