There was some actual news yesterday, though as I expected finding it required wading through lots of dreck.

  • Engine Yard Lowering Pricing for Rails in the Cloud - EY has brought down the prices for their Solo solution (managed Rails on EC2), including a much nicer $25 minimum for kicking the tires.

  • Vegas Scam - Further evidence that moving RailsConf to Vegas is not such a hot idea.

  • Piston 2.0 Finally Released: With Git, Subversion and Ruby 1.9 - What more could you ask? A major update.
