Another busy couple of weeks and a lot more … Stuff!

• Two weeks ago I released Sammy and since then its been getting a lot of great feedback. It was mentioned in a github rebase and Nick Plante wrote a great post on DDJ. I’m really impressed with what people have done with it so far. Alex Lang, especially, has fulfilled a vision I had by embedding Sammy as the client controller for a couch app. Also make sure to check out his Boom Amazing presentation tool using Sammy as the proxy for controlling a slideshow contained in a massive SVG. I’m crossing my fingers that they’ll be a video of his RailsWayCon presentation. Sammy also has a mailing list now and (hopefully) soon a dedicated IRC room.

• Gembox was featured as a great tool for viewing RDocs on RubyInside. This inspired a little flurry of activity and commits with more to come. Thanks to Samuel Elliot Gembox works in passenger pane.

• EngineYard finally posted the videos from Scotland on Rails and you can view my talk in full quicktime glory. Really you should just take the whole weekend and watch all the videos. LOTS of fantastic talks.

• Goruco is tomorrow! If you’re attending and reading this, please come find me. I’ll probably be milling around with a bearded dude (@mrb_bk).
