RubyConf for the rest of us
RubyConf 2005, all rolled up into 750Mb. This is something I would love for the the PHP community to start doing.
QtRuby!
I’ve been playing around with QtRuby this week. I love it. All the fun of Qt without the complexity of C++ syntax. I even found the infamous Trolltech Qt Tutorial #1 converted to QtRuby. I hope to have some very fun yet useless apps working soon.
Oh and new from PragProg, The Friday’s Series, which happened to launched with Rapid GUI Development with QtRuby

Rails Time, Don’t Miss the Train
The Ruby and Rails books arrived today. Yes, I’m jumping on the bandwagon here. No, I’m not leaving PHP. Just going with what works. And it does seem to work, pretty well.

When Cake catches up with Rails, ping me, I’ll be in my cave, digging for Ruby.
