It was an interesting weekend, watching the Twitterverse and blogging and Second Life all sort of melt together. Not sure where the business case is yet but all this energy must mean something.

  • SLeek - A non-graphical Second Life client, a rather bizarre spinoff of the fact that Linden Labs has open-sourced the viewer code.

  • Rails don't know testing and Battle Royale - Testing - The folks over at GIANT ROBOTS SMASHING INTO OTHER GIANT ROBOTS are taking a long hard look at Rails testing, and coming up with some ideas to add both sophistication and streamlining to the usual practices.

  • Haml 1.5 - New release of this terse replacement for other templating languages (like rhtml) in Rails applications. I don't think my brain is quite ready for another layer of abstraction yet, no matter how powerful it is.
