It was a fairly productive weekend for me: a new version of db_populate, a minor update to from_param, the first complete draft of The Rails Initialization Process, and a big chunk of work on Getting Started with Rails.
  • FiveRuns TuneUp for Merb - The FiveRun guys bring their monitoring solution to Merb as well as Rails.

  • About metric_fu 0.8.0 - Solution for generating metrics reports, ideal for use with continuous integration.

  • Coming home to Vim - I'm glad it works for some people (in this case, Jamis Buck). Personally, I wouldn't touch vi/vim/emacs with a stick.

  • 2 Weeks in Rails - Another new roundup.

  • Exceptional.launch(:paid_plans => true) Exceptional has announced their formal launch & paid plans.

  • Test Your Rake Tasks - Something I really need to get a handle on for a project I'm on now.

  • Rails and the (Possibly) Coming Economic Downturn - John Moody proposes a discussion topic: how do you avoid becoming roadkill?
