Rails 1.0 is out. A similarly great project should be at a 2.0 release with such features. But Rails folks seem down to earth. Thanks guys. The release celebrations included launching a remake of ruby on rails website inspired by 37 Signals.
del.icio.us was down today. It was spitting out SystemError with “raw code” into my browser. Well, this made me think about those $40M Yahoo! have paid. I guess a large user community is something that is hard to get, and apparently worth a little. My Next Plan: Come up with an idea, put something together quickly, invite many people...
Keeping up with the flux in technologies and Web 2.0 should be a full time job. Really!

Yet again Ruby on Rails vs Java stack argument. But this time it’s a true and tried case study for using Rails to write an enterprise-class health care system – CenterNet (or at least part of it) and its comparison with the use of Java stack. The system according to the mailing list post is N * 1,000 dedicated...
A smile was drawn on every face I showed the alpha site of Riya! The idea is magnificent: Let Riya client go through you photos (desktop, web, etc…), Feed Riya with the names of people on some of the pictures, and Voila! you can search your photos (and future ones) with the names of the people/the places/the scenes/the signs...

Boondoggle Films presents a journey through the world of software development from the perspective of a unique upstart, four quirky interns, and the world of The Geek. Aardvark’d: 12 Weeks with Geeks...
