Gunnar Wolf - Nice grey life - page 143

I usually don’t like me too comments… But this is something that really disappoints me of my otherwise-favorite development framework. I must echo Matt Palmer’s comment on Luke Kanies’ entry: Ruby. Has. A. Distribution. Problem. Nice, good read. Sadly, many Rails pushers see distributability as something very minor, something that should not worry Rails developers right now, as there is too much other serious work to be done - Better UTF8, a clearer language, better performance… And besides, any programmer can live well with gems. (yes, that’s all taken from a rant I had with a very convinced person) My...

Every now and then, I want to understand a bit better English. Today, when Joeyh mentioned nettle soup, I had to ask Wikipedia what a nettle is. And Joey, no wonder it itches… It refers to around 45 species of genus Urtica in the family Urticaceae - In Spanish, of course, urtica is known as ortiga, or as blind person’s herb, as even a blind person will quickly recognize it to touch - Touching it will cause the apt-named urticaria, which Joey seems to have discovered and learnt to fear. At least in Spanish, urticaria is generalized and used to...

May 1st is a holiday in many countries around the world - It is, at least, here in Mexico. So, what’s a man to do when faced with really-crappy network connectivity at home? Yesterday I had dinner with Gigio, and among many other things, we talked about the Ciclotón, which I’ve only done twice. And on my way back home, I crossed (twice) the path of a group of ~100 cyclist going over Colonia Roma. Anyway, whatever the reason, I woke up very well in the mood for a nice 20km ride: Now, lets get the day started! [update] I...

20Km, 2234-2335 meters above sea level, 1:11. Average speed, 17.5 Km/h; maximum speed, 48.9Km/h (just along the University stadium). Quite enjoyable. Attachments (324 KB)
