Solmukohta 2008 decompression

Update: I posted images. I have been to Solmukohta. I’m at the airport. Internet connection for a day: 8 EUR, and it was simple to find a place to sit with an electrical outlet.

RuPy – Ruby & Python Conference, which you may dig

Patch day for Rails, in Copenhagen

The inimitable Jakob tells all about the upcoming Rails patch night, so I won’t say more than “it is a great way of getting into Rails” (Rails, the Open Source project; and Rails, the codebase). (I won’t be there, I have a family thing to travel to, but please fill my seat, you.) Hm, I …
