OSCON 2005 Keynote - Identity 2.0 →
Actually… really interesting, even from 2005. :)
Git from the bottom up →
PDF by John Wiegley. Looks promising.
Ironically enough, though, I spent a large chunk of today writing about migrating to Git at my new job, mainly as a guide and clarification for the other members.
My Approach To Giving Presentations →
by Giles Bowkett. Duly noted. My talk at RubyFringe will have gusto, fury, and shit like that.
Pastie #187502 by ivey →
on Merb’s content negotiation. Very clear and easy to understand example. I prefer Merb’s syntax/style.
Parsing Quoted Strings in Ruby →
by Mike Naberezny. A bit wordy just to share Shellwords, but the example is rather smart: complex search terms with exact phrases.
Implementing the *ect methods in terms of inject →
over at evang.eli.st. Interesting… I’ll have to give it a go later today.

Appropriate since I just acquired the Programming Erlang book last night.

Chris Wanstrath’s blog. I use gist for git st just because it makes sense.

The Ideal Software Development Team Size →
over at subWindow Blog. Very, very good article. Conclusion: 4 or 5 on a team (think basketball), or sub-teams of 4 or 5 (think soccer); each member needs a distinct role to play (think point guard or goalie).
Building home linux render cluster →
Wicked, but how much did it cost total?
GitHub RubyGems →

good stuff and a good guy.
Sake Bomb! →
classic from err.the_blog. I need to read this more thoroughly.
The Emerging Standards Bureau →
I like the evolution; hadn’t even thought of doing current_post, but I’ve done current_user before.
