What I Learned Today
People keep making awesome Rails plugins. Typus is going to be my new friend for making admin interfaces for sites. The concept behind it - "trusted users editing structured content" - sounds a lot like Django's admin application. The roles stuff in it is very nice.
I've been using four different versions of Ruby on my box for a while. I've got apps that need Ruby 1.8.6 and apps that need Ruby 1.8.7, and I like to use Ruby 1.9.1 and JRuby. Mat Brown's multiruby replacement script is the hookup, both for cross-Ruby testing, but also for just getting gems installed without a ton of trouble.
