RT @engineyard Get your pre-JRubyConf fix! New @nicksieger blog post: The State of XML Parsing in Ruby (Circa 2009) http://www.engineyard.com/blog...
@yugui Your message came across just fine. Glad to have you here reaching out, it's really an important gesture.
Plugged a relatively new magsafe adapter into the wall today and heard it pop. Now it's a nice doorstop :(
@webandy Sorry I missed you! Will definitely see you later.

Rubyconf trip made doubly worthwhile: day in SF with my wife! Cliff House, Japan Town, Foreign Cinema. Lovely day all around.
So what do folks use for Rails app benchmarking these days? Fat-free CRM, Redmine, hello world? Or just your own apps?
How to build latest Ruby on Windows - The Empty Way - http://blog.emptyway.com/2009...
So you want to build the latest Ruby on Windows. Maybe, you’re working on some new RubySpec tests or would like to see what’s coming with Ruby 1.9.2. At any rate, building Ruby on Windows is much easier than I originally thought, and you don’t even forced to install Microsoft compilers at al - Nick Sieger
@j0ni Whoops, I guess I forgot to thank the valet who did that to me. He must have worked for IBM at one time.
@j0ni Indeed. "An InputSource object belongs to the application" yet "standard ... is to close them on as part of end-of-parse cleanup". :P
To answer my own question, looks like it's designed that way: http://java.sun.com/javase... Doesn't make up for the fact that it's a terrible design.
JAXP's XML parsers (Xerces apparently) close the input stream when they're done parsing? That's totally fercockted. Why?
@diaffalo exactly. I need a space heater right about now, let's rebuild all my ports...
@jsgoecke Thanks for the FYI. @diaffalo my thoughts exactly.
Ahhhrrrg. Anyone using macports w/ x86_64 binaries? Looks like a PITA to get working. Building macports from source - no thanks.
@RRMcKinley Define Java interfaces to the parts of Hpricot you want to use. Then implement them in Ruby, backed by Hpricot running in JRuby.
Choose Your Own Adventure - http://samizdat.cc/cyoa/
As a child of the 80s, the Choose Your Own Adventure books were a fixture of my rainy afternoons. My elementary school library kept a low, fairly unmaintained-looking shelf of them hidden in one of its back corners. Whether this non-marquee placement was an attempt by the librarians to deemphasize the books in favor of ‘serious’ (children’s) literature or was simply my good luck I still haven’t worked out. But it meant there was a place that I could retreat to and dive into unfamiliar worlds without distraction. - Nick Sieger

@calavera @headius it uses Jekyll. It's located here: http://github.com/jruby...
@headius jruby.org already is a static site. The problem yesterday was some wonky Apache issue that was resolved when I restarted it.
The Berlin Wall is a great metaphor for us all! Look around you for people to help you scale your own personal wall in your life.
