From The Wonsys blog:
So you can imagine when we started looking into Rails, it was developer’s Nirvana. We immediately realized it didn’t get in our way: we were finally able to think about how to solve a problem without having to worry how to put it in code — and that’s mostly due to the power of Ruby.
I had the same feeling.
I am honored to work near Assaf, with who I had this talk today (through email):
Me - Assaf, what’s taking you ?
Why isn’t this already in your tumblr ?*
Come on, 12 hours offset are unacceptable 
Me - Oh crap - messed up, didn’t see it.
Sorry.**
Assaf-and I already e-mailed him to let him know.
Me-In your previous life you were a firefighter.
Now I am looking for a nice red fire truck that could be used as a logo (in SVG) for Buildr, the new Maven reap(e)r !
An other approach to build Java is Raven, which is quite mature now I think.

Get yourself your treat !
Apparently Eclipse isn’t doing enough to edit text, so here is a plugin to finally have your console back.
Here are some instructions to learn how to use it. (still haven’t read them all..)
I am not a supporter of vim, not like this gentleman (well, more an anti-IDE than a pro-something), but I am using it to develop Ruby for the sake of trying and widening my horizon.
From the Eclipse downloads page:
Installing Eclipse in Program Files directory on Vista
By default, Microsoft Windows Vista does not allow user level accounts to write
files in the “Program Files” directory. This can prevent Eclipse from starting
when installed in the “Program Files” directory, because Eclipse stores
configuration data by default in its install directory. Either of the following
workarounds can be used to avoid this problem:Install Eclipse outside the “Program Files” directory
Instruct Eclipse to store configuration data outside the “Program Files”
directory using the -configuration command line argument. The problem will
not occur when running Eclipse as the Administrator user, but this is not
recommended because it compromises the Windows Vista security model.

There was no such disclaimer for Linux.
During that time…
