Ruby on Ales.com is up and ready to be used!
Ruby on Ales.com will allow you to add Ruby/Rails meetings, comment on them and subscribe to RSS feeds so you are completely up to date on the meetings in your area.
I haven’t completely finished it yet. I will add google-maps support and integrate it with upcoming.org. The interface also needs to be tweaked and finished. More on this soon…

Last Thursday Fingertips’ Rails ‘Show and Tell’ Meeting went down.
It was lots of fun and I met quite a few interesting people. Not all talks where as good as each other, but I very much enjoyed the “Why Django?” by Simon de Haan and the “Unicode in Rails” by Julian ‘Julik’ Tarkhanov presentation.

This morning I bought myself a copy of RJS Templates for Rails. A 58 page Rails book about RJS Templates ($9.99) by Cody Fauser
I have read about half of it and it is a good read especially if you want to get into the whole RJS thing.
You need a bit of rails knowledge though, so its is not recommended for people with no rails knowledge at all.
Get O'Reilly's Excellent RJS Book for $6.50
What did you think of it?

Last week wednesday I got myself an Airport Extreme card (finally) for my iBook and I added some more ram. This gave me the ability to catch up with the unread blog posts while I was eating, brushing my teeth, watching TV and walking around (not recommended).
After 5 days I finally got it down to 48 posts and it is a lot more manageable now. So if your having problems catching up with the world get yourself a nice little laptop with wifi and bring it with you everywhere. Caution: This will annoy others!
Now the only unread articles are the ones from the IE blog that I should read but don't want to and the A List Apart articles that I need to really take the time to read.

Some time now I have been meaning to organize an event of my own. I thought it would be fun to get together in a cafe/pub, drink beer and socialize with the whole Dutch Ruby on Rails and I thought the name Ruby On Beers was appropriate.
In my last post I mentioned Ruby On Beers and the reactions I got where all positive so I made a logo for it:
31st of May, starting at 17:00
Stairway to heaven
Mariaplaast 11-12, Utrecht

RubyEnRails has finished and it was a great success. There where about 120 people there. Most of them hadn't worked with rails longer than 6 months. I also got to know quite allot of people.
The sponsors (Profict and Finalist) did a good job of setting up the event and the venue where this was held was very nice but it took quite long to get there.
I'm all ready looking forward to next years RubyEnRails. Maybe we should organise something in the meantime. We could all meet up somewhere and have a few beers; Ruby on Beers.

The Dutch Ruby on Rails conference RubyEnRails is starting in just a few hours and I'm getting ready. I'll post some photos online at the end of the day and I'll tell you how it all went.Posted by Juice10 Mon, 06 Mar 2006 22:42:00 GMT
Rodney setup a Dutch Ruby on Rails community called DutchRailers, it only has 5 members at the moment (6 March 2006) but its well worth checking out for all you dutch speaking ruby on rails users!
