RubyFringe is an avant-garde conference for developers that are excited about emerging technologies outside of the Ruby on Rails monoculture. We’re sick of the sold-out and over-sold labradoodle shows that are now staged with alarming frequency. In response, we’re mounting a unique and eccentric gathering of the people and projects that are driving things forward in our community. 700$, but free drinks.
Bloxes are building blocks made of interlocking pieces of corrugated cardboard, folded together. Their unique shape and structure make them exceptionally strong and lightweight – you could build yourself a platform to stand on, and then pick it up and move it wherever you need to. Wanthave.
SING stands for ‘Send ICMP Nasty Garbage.’ It is a tool that sends ICMP packets fully customized from command line. Its main purpose is to replace and complement the ping command, adding certain enhancements as fragmentation; send and receive spoofed packets; send many ICMP information types (echo as the old ping, address mask, timestamp, and router discovery) and errors (redirect, unreach, and time exceeded); and send monster packets. It also supports loose and strict source routing and record routing.
“I hit him, yes, it’s true,
But that’s what I am paid to do.
Don’t say ‘murder,’ don’t say ‘kill.’
It was destiny, it was God’s will.”
— Bob Dylan, Who Killed Davey Moore
Mercurial Record Extension, finally: “This command lets you choose which parts of the changes in a working directory you’d like to commit, at the granularity of patch hunks. It is similar in spirit to the darcs record command.”
bookporn #28: the seminary co-op bookstore, university of chicago, very nice. “I’m absolutely sure that the place secretly unfolds out when you walk around it; separate alcoves and rooms generate themselves when someone approaches, only to fade the second one’s back is turned.”
‘I fell in love with a female assassin’, “They met on a train and fell in love. Then Jason P Howe discovered that his girlfriend Marylin was leading a secret double life – as an assassin for right-wing death squads in Colombia’s brutal civil war.”
San Francisco’s fine,
You sure get lots of sun.
San Francisco is fine.
You sure get lots of sun.
But I’m used to four seasons,
California’s got but one.

Feeling Presidential, they “asked readers to sketch their own visions for the George W. Bush Library”. WJW.
World-Wide Web Map, From .ad to .za, cool.
Doodle is a Ruby library and gem for simplifying the definition of Ruby classes by making attributes and their properties more declarative. Best part: “Doodle is eco-friendly: it does not globally modify Object, Class or Module, nor does it pollute instances with its own instance variables (i.e. it plays nice with yaml). Future versions will try to be even more unobtrusive.”
