The idea is for Rails and Django folks to come together over beer and share ideas and perspectives. There'll likely be more Pythonistas so I hope they won't mind if the Rubyites bring water pistols (just kidding!)</p> http://matt.blogs.it/entries/00002856.html It was a hard fight, and I lost Mon, 19 Sep 2005 19:15:47 +0100 <p>I've now reached 4,300 unread threads in the rubyonrails mailing list. I think I have to finally accept I'm never going to catch up...</p> http://matt.blogs.it/entries/00002917.html Curiouser and Curiouser on Rails! Fri, 18 Nov 2005 00:45:47 +0000 <p>Okay the weblog is back in action, no longer being published using Radio but now using <a href=\"http://rubyforge.org/projects/squib/\">Squib</a> which is my new open source weblog tool. It's heavily influenced by my 3 years of using Radio: like Radio, Squib is an application that runs on your computer and publishes a weblog to a remote server as a static set of pages (it talks to the Radio Community Server using the RCS upstreaming protocol). Unlike Radio, Squib is written in pure Ruby using the Rails framework and currently clocks in at around 1,000 lines total.</p><p>Right now it's in pretty rough shape and probably only usable by someone desparate to escape Radio (let's say maybe your copy of Radio kept upstreaming 0-length files) but wanting to keep compatibility with an existing Radio weblog (same permalinks, etc...)</p><p>Over the next couple of weeks I aim to fix the gaping holes. Source should be available from RubyForge any day now.</p> http://matt.blogs.it/entries/00003078.html
