  1. Screencast version of Ruby On Acid lightning talk that I gave at the Bay Area Computer Music Technology Meetup: http://www.vimeo.com/7859807
  2. RT @confreaks: Finally resolved an incredibly painful framerate sync problem. Rubyconf vids now rendering. Expect some to be available t ...
  3. Yeah, this ain't workin - way too much mic noise. Gonna have to borrow the @gangplank studio. Hope I don't have audio sync issues. #jemini
  4. OK, got a reasonably quiet room, an hour's worth of video, and nothing to dub voiceover with except my MacBook onboard mic. #gonnaregretthis
  5. Episode 1 is funny, then moving. Let's hope they can keep this up. http://revision3.com/instms...
  6. Hit a wall with .jars but still 99% successful with ConfigManager. Feeling accomplished. OK, bedtime. #jemini
  7. @logan_barnett Hmmm, better keep an eye on these guys before they eat our lunch: http://www.effectgames.com/...
  8. "I hate escaping \\\"quote marks\\\" and \\\\ characters!!!".gsub!(/\\\"/, '"').gsub(/\\\\/, '\\')
  9. God. This is slow and unusable as-is. Now I have to parse ints and floats plus handle a bunch of edge cases. I wanna just use YAML, dammit!
  10. tank.config[:fire_rate].to_i; tank.config[:fire_power].to_f; Too many to_i's. But I'm not gonna make assumptions on format. #jemini
  11. Why Test DRIVEN Development: In trying to not make your tests fugly, you give the API the features it needs. Fugly tests = bad API.
  12. RT @scasware: "Goolge Wave was a program built to show younger people how older people feel when they attempt to use the internet" <- ...
  13. Wish I'd discovered FastRI sooner. My old way was to load up the Pickaxe in Preview, 'cause plain ri was too damn slow.
  14. @squanderingtime re: Chandler Collection: "I laughed, I cried, I mostly sat in stunned silence and scratched my head." :)
  15. RT @confreaks: Rubyconf post-production heavily underway. Currently dealing with a frustrating framerate mismatch.
  16. Wal-Mart trying to avoid getting their employees trampled this year my ass: the Magnavox Blu-Ray player hits $78 on Black Friday.
  17. @logan_barnett Configs load via ResourceManager. Yes, it does want YAML. Will try switching to .ini format and parsing it myself. #jemini
  18. @logan_barnett I might be OK with tank.config.shell_power, but I'm definitely not OK with tank.shell_power. We have enough name collisions.
  19. @headius Groovy! If you guys know any particular areas of JRuby that need screencast coverage, let me know.
  20. @tom_enebo No, I did those out of a *fear* of live coding. :) Any preference for JRuby topics to cover? Format preferences?
