late night, friends, fun

Clean Garage; Clean Yard; Mexican Hippies Unite

Today, we hope to tackle the rest of the garage and the yard work. We've got about 6 hours (startiiiiing…. now) to get dressed, go to the grocery store, prepare some food items for this evening, and get those two things done. That'll be a little tight, but not impossible.
Tonight, we're heading out to Randol [...]

Just like I said, but in a different order

Today was quite productive.

Rails 0.10.0 is out

"Rails 0.10.0":http://weblog.rubyonrails.com/archives/2005/02/24/rails-0100-routing-web-services-components-oracle/ is out. Lots of nice stuff in here. In fact, the only thing this doesn't have that 1.0 will have is some Performance tuning, better Packaging, and some bug fixes.
