Mostly what happened over the weekend is Rails Rumble, but here are a few non-Rumble links anyhow.

  • Hijack - Get an IRB session in an existing Ruby process. (via Ruby Inside)

  • Humane Email Validation - Ned Batchelder proposes a simple heuristic that will work most of the time.

  • RestMS - Newish internet message queuing protocol that seeks to build on the best parts of AMQP and AtomPub.

  • Announcing "Socialite" - Rails plugin to generate all those "submit this site to these bazillion social networking site" icons.

  • Rio - Facade to unify the functionality of all sorts of ruby I/O classes.

  • Roodi 2.0 - Big rewrite for this gem to check for design issues in ruby code.
