TrafficThis is the graph of the traffic for my Ruby blog. It's headed in a gratifying direction :) It makes writing for it a lot of fun knowing that I'm helping other people.

WNY Ruby User GroupCategory: ruby
So, I've agreed to help plan the WNY Ruby meet-ups. This will be in addition to the monthly estrip night outs that I've been setting up, and the monthly photo meet-ups that I run.
I just need to find a way to either: combine them all into one event, or start a social event planning business :)
Anyone out there who's interested in Ruby let me know if you want to join up with the user group.

I've had a really ugly time learning Ruby on Rails, so it would be nice to find a place with wi-fi so someone could sit down with me and show me what I'm doing wrong.

Whatever! Gimme a call when you want to upgrade. We got a zero-click installer and tutorials that won't fill your inbox with spam.
Humble suggestions: change 'User Group' to 'Gang.' Get a rival gang, too: Haskell? Lisp? Doesn't matter. Get jackets and patches and secret handshakes. Schedule your meetings for the same place and same time. Get into fights and thrown out of bars. Do this up right, right?

First you can get the one-click windows installer:

And a 20 minute tutorial after that, via the interactive ruby shell:

For a good quick intro there's Try Ruby: :::link::: which is an interactive tutorial in a web browser.
There's also a free book :::link::: but you have to create an account at InfoQ to download it.

Where's a good "from the ground up" tutorial on Ruby that you would recommend?

HAAALLLOWWEEENCategory: estrip
Hey, if you're coming at 8pm (instead of being fashionably late) to the (e:strip) party and want to carve pumpkins with Matthew and I, bring one if you can, but if not let me know and I'll snag a few extra that night otherwise.
I'll pick up some lights to use in them, so don't worry about candles or the like.

Ya, everything is awesome except that multi file flash uploads don't work in leopard in any browser using the latest flash 9 player. That sucks!!! It doesnt work on estrip. It doesn't work on swfupload and it doesn't work at flickr. Argh. How could no one have caught that at Adobe. To make it worse, there is no way to detect it is on leopard using firefox as nothing about the user agent seems different than the tiger one.
