Submitted by Webmaster on Monday May 25, 2009

The depressing world of RoR

Submitted by Webmaster on Monday May 25, 2009

This is a rant so you have to take it with a grain of salt; on the other hand, what I'm going to write about is not just my emotional status working with Rails, and you should not take it like it was coming from a Ruby or Rails either; Ruby is still my language of choice, and the blog is still running on Typo, after all.

Open Source as an Enterprise Strategy

Submitted by Webmaster on Thursday May 21, 2009

After the dotcom crash, a new argument about open source arose: "What if the company you bought software from goes under? Open source gives you a viable route to find consultants, move development internally, and so on. You're not dependent on any one group's success." You can find this logic behind the Ubuntu Foundation pledge.

Ubuntu 9.04, codenamed Jaunty Jackalope, is a solid release and well worth the bandwidth. I stuck with 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) when the sub-par 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) came out last October, but I will definitely upgrade all my machines to Jaunty in the coming weeks.
