  1. RT @engineyard Get your pre-JRubyConf fix! New @nicksieger blog post: The State of XML Parsing in Ruby (Circa 2009) http://bit.ly/8B7Yrh
  2. Plugged a relatively new magsafe adapter into the wall today and heard it pop. Now it's a nice doorstop :(
  3. @yugui Your message came across just fine. Glad to have you here reaching out, it's really an important gesture.
  4. @webandy Sorry I missed you! Will definitely see you later.
  5. Rubyconf trip made doubly worthwhile: day in SF with my wife! Cliff House, Japan Town, Foreign Cinema. Lovely day all around.
  6. So what do folks use for Rails app benchmarking these days? Fat-free CRM, Redmine, hello world? Or just your own apps?
  7. @j0ni Whoops, I guess I forgot to thank the valet who did that to me. He must have worked for IBM at one time.
  8. @j0ni Indeed. "An InputSource object belongs to the application" yet "standard ... is to close them on as part of end-of-parse cleanup". :P
  9. To answer my own question, looks like it's designed that way: http://bit.ly/4Co1gI Doesn't make up for the fact that it's a terrible design.
  10. JAXP's XML parsers (Xerces apparently) close the input stream when they're done parsing? That's totally fercockted. Why?
  11. @diaffalo exactly. I need a space heater right about now, let's rebuild all my ports...
  12. @jsgoecke Thanks for the FYI. @diaffalo my thoughts exactly.
  13. Ahhhrrrg. Anyone using macports w/ x86_64 binaries? Looks like a PITA to get working. Building macports from source - no thanks.
  14. @RRMcKinley Define Java interfaces to the parts of Hpricot you want to use. Then implement them in Ruby, backed by Hpricot running in JRuby.
  15. @calavera @headius it uses Jekyll. It's located here: http://bit.ly/2Zw4ny
  16. @headius jruby.org already is a static site. The problem yesterday was some wonky Apache issue that was resolved when I restarted it.
  17. The Berlin Wall is a great metaphor for us all! Look around you for people to help you scale your own personal wall in your life.
  18. Berlin Wall, 20 years gone. http://bit.ly/4A2KCN Wow.
  19. Performant RDBMS requires use of stored-procedures? I've got good money that Stonebraker has never done web dev. http://bit.ly/G7mBF
  20. Does @github provide anything like `git log --graph' anywhere on the website? Looking for a way to visualize merge history.
