EuRuKo 2009
EuRuKo 2009 is over!
SRUG is very very happy about the outcome, we put effort and organised the conference with illusion, and people felt it and had a really great time. Talks were interesting, and most important people had the chance to chat, sit in the grass, go to the beach at night....
We were honoured Matz came to the conference to give the opening keynote, he made a 22-hours flight from Japan! We tried to make him feel at home. Matz actually attended the conference, I mean, you know those stars that give their keynote and then go to do sightseeing. Not Matz, he stayed at the conference and talked with everytbody, we was at the conference and if you took a perspective of the hall he was mixed with the audience as any other attendee. Hat tip at him.
Next year EuRuKo goes to Kraków, our best wishes to the organisers. We met them in Barcelona and we are sure they are going to run an extraordinary conference.
/me waves from Scotland on Rails.

Why Did I Write Acme::Pythonic
Acme::Pythonic is a Perl module of mine that allows the user to write Pythonic code as valid Perl code. I mean, you feed this code to perl:
use Acme::Pythonic; # this semicolon yet needed
sub delete_edges:
my $G = shift
while my ($u, $v) = splice(@_, 0, 2):
if defined $v:
$G->delete_edge($u, $v)
else:
my @e = $G->edges($u)
while ($u, $v) = splice(@e, 0, 2):
$G->delete_edge($u, $v)
and perl executes it right away, directly. There's no intermediate file being generated or anything. Sounds like magic unless you know what's a source filter.
But some people don't get that even with the work behind this module, the test suite, etc. this module is just a fucking joke! That's why it belongs to the Acme:: namespace in the first place.
It is a joke about taking programming languages too seriously, to the hell with that, there you have Python and Perl mixed together. Sublimation. Climax. You can put that code against a wall and do vipassana contemplating it, release your attachments to this mundane world!
Rails Documentation Team
Rails has now an official documentation team! That's Pratik, Mike, and me. I am very happy this converged this way, there has been a great deal of work in docrails and Rails Guides that finally takes shape.

Busy. Organizing two conferences: EuRuKo 2009 and RailsDevConf. I am also seen armed with a red pen in Rails Guides. The first semester at the University of Barcelona is over.
