  1. @tenderlove rofl, you rule
  2. @merbist a pool of sessions will still block on IO. If you want to make parallel calls you have to use Multi or EM's http client.
  3. @merbist I suppose you could just use Patron for single requests, but I still think that a Couch library could benefit from the use of Multi
  4. @merbist one possibility is to use the raw libcurl interface in Typhoeus without all the remote stuff. It's in Easy.rb and Multi.rb.
  5. @merbist wait, I think it can be. What needs to happen for Typhoeus to be good for couchrest?
  6. @leinweber sockets if you're going remote, named pipes if you're talking to processes on the same box. Pipes are simpler.
  7. using named pipes in Ruby for inter-process communication: http://bit.ly/xE0uI
  8. At the NYTM with @joewest
  9. ready for work after a 4 day weekend. Super excited about the crazy ass machine learning system I'm building this week. It will be hawt!
  10. reading "Get Smarter" by Jamais Cascio in The Atlantic: http://www.theatlantic.com/.... Suggested by @nathanielcohen
  11. @larrywright you'd need to do a HEAD request and check the size. Could do it using Easy (part of the lib), but not the Typhoeus remote.
  12. another small update to Typhoeus: you can now specify headers. Remote.get("http://pauldix.net", :headers => {"If-None-Match" => "an etag"})
  13. new version of Typhoeus released with support for mocking. details at the bottom of the usage section: http://bit.ly/INzk1
  14. finally going to add some mocking support to Typhoeus. Writing example code for my book has forced my hand.
  15. trying to find the motivation to write. I'll start off with code. Code is easy, words are hard...
  16. @hmason @lucasjosh thanks, guess I'll have to be patient and wait until they're posted on ACM.
  17. I want to read these KDD '09 research papers, but can't find them. Ideas? http://www.sigkdd.org/kdd20...
  18. noticed that @rbates made a RailsCast about Feedzirra: http://bit.ly/gsmiV Another reminder that I have to update the API.
  19. @debleyshon haha they don't do that kind of thing in up state NY. Be civilized, woman!
  20. @amyhoy haha that makes it much nicer
