LA Ruby Meetup was very cool. So I was the first to be at the scene. I helped bring the food to the room since I was in the lobby and greeted by Jody. I meet and greeted all of the LA Times people. Also meet some guy from Yahoo!, sorry I forgot your name already, and one from heroku, BizQuest another from PGP, and another from Experian. As-well as more but I sorta forgot everyones name already… or at least I can’t remember them, yet.

If you’re in the Los Angeles Area check it out.
Yellowpages.com will be hosting LA Ruby Meetup #2 on July 17 2008, so mark that in your calendar. Join the Yahoo Group, LARuby

Less than one week after the release of Rails 2.1, was launched in Brazil the first book describing all the new features of this release.

After the launch of the book in Portuguese, the Brazilian community united to translate the book into English.

Done! A gift from all Brazilian Railers to the international community.

So I received an invite for heroku a while ago. I never really used it. Want an invite to check out heroku.com? I have many invites to give away. Want one? just leave your email and I will send you one your way!

New Feature out now. Add your last.fm friends radio stations and playlist.

New Feature for LastBridge.net - I have added a small list of station you can now select.

Of course more new features are planned ahead.

It is official LastBridge.net is out for public consumption! Again for those who are lost and don’t know what this “LastBridge” is it’s for listening to your last.fm radio stream on the Roku SoundBridge.I have made a screencast on How To use LastBridge. If anyone still needs help or just want to leave your opinions on this project, leave a comment or two. Thanks.Enjoy!

What? What is this? Well, yeah… it is another project of mine. I call it LastBridge, like the name? its original… anyways.. So LastBridge is a web app for users of the Roku SoundBridge like myself. Basically you can listen to your last.fm music on the SoundBridge without having to install anything or hosting any files. I previously wrote the same thing in a much cheaper less good looking way, in PHP. This time I have rewritten it using Ruby On Rails. As soon as I release it make sure to check it out.

Wow, you don’t see rants like this every day. Zed Shaw, who created Mongrel, a library and web server that just about everyone uses to serve rails applications, is basically a God in the Rails community. In a post today called “Rails Is A Ghetto” he tears into a number of leading Rails developers, the community in general, and a number of startups (and Google).via Techcrunch

If you’re just getting into Rails or you’re not entirely clear on the whole REST thing, as I was, take a look at Gregg’s video presentation over at railsenvy.com It’s good.
