Double Shot #100

Wow, 100 of these. I guess that's some indication that I'm sticking with this non-Microsoft universe. In fact, I'll be completely shutting down my .NET-oriented blog at the end of the year, as I've transitioned all of my work life over to other things.

• Pulse - Configuration manager for Eclipse-based products, now available for the Mac.


• Dynamic System Modeling in Second Life - Jeff Barr used Second Life to build a 3D animated representation of a complex Amazon Web Services system. I think there's a lot of promise to this approach for architectural discussions.


• Testing in Rails: Part 5 - Unit Testing ActiveRecord Models - Part of the ongoing series from Null is Love.


• Installing RMagick on Leopard - I just had a good long wrestle with this, complicated by a stale MacPorts install of ImageMagick. This is the article that finally sorted out all the bits for me.


• Advanced Rails Recipes Now in Beta - Now that Rails 2.0 is out, here's some good reading to go with it.


• Rails 2.0 Final Released! - Summary of Features - Ryan links to a whole mess of articles he's written about the new stuff.
