  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 about 16 hours ago from Tweetie
  2. Plugged a relatively new magsafe adapter into the wall today and heard it pop. Now it's a nice doorstop :( 3:10 PM Nov 19th from Tweetie
  3. @yugui Your message came across just fine. Glad to have you here reaching out, it's really an important gesture. 3:08 PM Nov 19th from Tweetie in reply to yugui
  4. @webandy Sorry I missed you! Will definitely see you later. 2:17 PM Nov 19th from Tweetie in reply to webandy
  5. Rubyconf trip made doubly worthwhile: day in SF with my wife! Cliff House, Japan Town, Foreign Cinema. Lovely day all around. 12:22 AM Nov 19th from Tweetie
  6. So what do folks use for Rails app benchmarking these days? Fat-free CRM, Redmine, hello world? Or just your own apps? 10:31 AM Nov 17th from Tweetie
  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. 4:38 PM Nov 15th from Tweetie in reply to j0ni
  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 4:27 PM Nov 15th from Tweetie in reply to j0ni
  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. 4:25 PM Nov 15th from Tweetie
  10. JAXP's XML parsers (Xerces apparently) close the input stream when they're done parsing? That's totally fercockted. Why? 3:56 PM Nov 15th from Tweetie
  11. @diaffalo exactly. I need a space heater right about now, let's rebuild all my ports... 2:01 PM Nov 13th from Tweetie in reply to diaffalo
  12. @jsgoecke Thanks for the FYI. @diaffalo my thoughts exactly. 1:59 PM Nov 13th from Tweetie in reply to jsgoecke
  13. Ahhhrrrg. Anyone using macports w/ x86_64 binaries? Looks like a PITA to get working. Building macports from source - no thanks. 1:21 PM Nov 13th from Tweetie
  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. 1:17 PM Nov 13th from Tweetie in reply to RRMcKinley
  15. @calavera @headius it uses Jekyll. It's located here: http://bit.ly/2Zw4ny 4:20 PM Nov 10th from Tweetie in reply to calavera
  16. @headius jruby.org already is a static site. The problem yesterday was some wonky Apache issue that was resolved when I restarted it. 2:47 PM Nov 10th from Tweetie
  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. 1:12 PM Nov 10th from Tweetie
  18. Berlin Wall, 20 years gone. http://bit.ly/4A2KCN Wow. 1:04 PM Nov 10th from bit.ly
  19. Performant RDBMS requires use of stored-procedures? I've got good money that Stonebraker has never done web dev. http://bit.ly/G7mBF 9:29 AM Nov 6th from bit.ly
  20. Does @github provide anything like `git log --graph' anywhere on the website? Looking for a way to visualize merge history. 9:18 AM Nov 6th from Tweetie
