Mack Framework →
A Ruby Web Application Framework. Looks to be pretty cool. Will be perusing the source here in a bit, might find some tasty chunks to pluck out for Halcyon 0.5.0.

Linking the cache because the main site is down. (Scaling issues? Haha. Ironic a bit.)

hackety org » DragonFly's Freezer →
Very cool concept, though performance implications will probably make anybody at least a little queasy.
“Never complain. Only ever code.”

Quotes and snippets. Cool, kinda like Tumblr and Pastie combined. Kinda.
The Five Essential Phone-Screen Questions →
Very useful.

Pastie #156498 →
A Bazaar to Git repo converter. Particularly noteworthy for the coolness of the script… I’ve never seen a Bash script so well written… lots of great code bits in there.

One big hit, and they become an influence
Get cooler with age
Claims the song is just a cool arrangement of a standard
Keeps trying to produce a new sound
Records with a variety of musicians over time
Wants to become a professor at Berkeley School of Music
Jams on the street corner just because they feel like it
This is like a list of who I want to be.
Reblogging Monday
Not a lot of interesting stuff that I’ve directly found today, just a lot of cool crap that other Tumblrs I follow have tumbled.

Programmatic screencasting… very cool.
WTFPL →
Do What The Fuck You Want To Public License. The end is the best.
The LibDJB Project →
Cool.
MicroID - Small Decentralized Verifiable Identity →
Pretty cool. Gives me the idea that a page can have many chunks that will only be editable by those with the ownership… like micro ownership of a large site. I guess moderation would be in the form of the community removing an author’s rights to be a dick and them taking control of that content.
Your SCM may be decentralized, but your project... →
Interesting argument, but the comments address pretty much everything he mentioned as equivalent which really aren’t.
JRuby and the Permanent Generation →
Interoperability Happens - The Vietnam of Computer... →
Tumbling to read later. Hmmm, TL;DR applicable here? Maybe.
ReinH →
You know, his post about Simple git Continuous Integration was interesting, but I think his blog is even more so. Cool stuff.

Deploying Rails Applications →
by Ezra, finally.
NGinx + PHP5 + MySQL →
For my boss; trying to convince him to go with Nginx.
Merb 0.9.0 Developer Release →
Cool. Now to get Halcyon to work with the new structure of Merb and possibly update the nasty hacks to get it to work.
The Maybe Monad in Ruby →
“Don’t you wish there was just a way to call customer.order.id without all those intermediate checks for nil objects?” Yes. Very cool alternative solutiosn in the comments as well.
Rush, the Ruby Shell →
a pretty cool way to interact with the filesystem without having a dozen and a half backticks, with the possibility of being platform-independent as well. Cool.
