My Matias Tactile Pro 2.0 keyboard arrived and it rocks. I may never use the high-speed USB port or the special symbols on the keycaps but the key action is great.

  • Instant Rails 2.0 Released on RubyForge - The latest bits for easy test-driving on Windows. Think of this as sort of a "Live CD" for Rails.

  • Installing Postgres 8.2 on Leopard (includes system account!) - Creating a system account on Leopard is absurdly difficult.

  • ProFTPD - Looks like I'm going to spend some quality time learning ProFTPD configuration, since it can do extremely loose coupling (via shared database table) authentication with other applications.

  • Lingon - Nice little GUI for managing Leopard launchd files. Yeah, if I was a real developer I'd use some primitive command-line text editor for this.

  • Wondering if Subversion is Good Enough - Larry O'Brien is ready to stop recommending Subversion due to its quirks and annoyances. I get annoyed too, but on the other side, I have to weigh the SVN ecosystem; it's integrated with a bunch of other things I'm using right now. So far nothing is compelling enough to switch.

  • Rolling with Rails 2.0 - The First Full Tutorial - An update of the classic weblog tutorial to show off the new Rails 2.0 features.
