Last night, a Ruby club meet, which was interesting, but the feeling I got was “you hadda have been at RailsConf”. And I wasn’t, so bummer.

Go snippet away, Rubyboy
Just started my morning with fixing a personal annoyance with the current Rails distribution I am using with Ruby 1.8.5: warning messages about deprecated syntax.

Live report from the meetup (like a true geek)
**Update:** spelling, adding details, names, URLs. Sitting at the Copenhagen meetup, like some kind of backchannel geek. Typing. (There were five wireless networks around me, so I didn’t need the password to the bar where we sit. Quite a nice location, a quiet, loungy upstairs. I guess this post will be updated more than once.
