If you, like me, couldn’t attend the RailsConf 2006 in Chicago last month, you’ll perhaps be glad to know that ScribeMedia is putting online the videos of all the keynote speeches. Martin Fowler’s and Dave Thomas’ videos are already online and the other ones will follow shortly.
Also, keep in mind that registration for RailsConf Europe is open, so if you couldn’t make it to Chicago because of distance, you have another opportunity to hear some of the same presenters, like Dave Thomas and DHH himself, plus Kathy Sierra, Chad Fowler et. al.
Some nations take to the streets to celebrate their independence or other important political events. We Italians usually do that to celebrate World Cup match victories, especially if it’s against the Germans.
Someone once said that “Football is a game with 22 people and in the end the Germans always win.” Well, that’s only if they don’t get to play against Italy. In the history of the World Cup, Italy v. Germany was played five times and Germany never won: three defeats (two semi-finals and a final) and two draws.

Charles Nutter: “Now, with the release of 1.1.4, the following will all work out-of-the-box with JRuby 0.9.0 (currently in RC status):”
gem install rails --include-dependencies
Check
# and use --no-rdoc for now...it's too slow
Check, even though it insisted on building documentation and yes, it was slow, but it finished eventually.

OK, we’re almost there, but not quite there yet:
Keep in mind that we don’t officially “support” Rails just yet; there’s more work to do. We are, however, another leap beyond the JavaOne demo, and at this rate things are looking very good for an end-of-Summer JRuby 1.0.
I’m not sweating over it. Take your time and make it really rock, folks.
Ever since I installed WordPress 2.0 and enabled Askismet, it has been working flawlessly and blocking comment spam like mad:
I still have to check the caught spam periodically, just in case it blocked some legitimate comment, which hasn’t happened so far. On the other hand, I don’t get that many legitimate comments, so it’s probably not a significant sample. But anyway: no false positives and no false negatives so far: Akismet rocks!

Why is it that everytime I try to upgrade from one stable Eclipse version (3.1 in this case) to a new one (3.2) I invariably end up having to do an install from scratch? Unzipping the new version over the old one resulted in lots of errors and non-functioning stuff, so I installed it all in a new directory, but then had to copy some plugins by hand and reinstall others using the Update Manager.
I also lost some of my preferences, like Java editing templates. Why aren’t those in my workspace directory, which is under my home directory and shouldn’t therefore get lost if I delete the old /Application/eclipse directory? The mind boggles.
Anyway, I’ve now got Eclipse 3.2 running on both my machines (the upgrade on the MacBook was relatively painless, being from a 3.2 milestone release instead of from 3.1). All is well that ends well.
