My blog has been real quiet lately! I've had a few half blog posts that I've ditched. But my excuse is that I've been hard at work :)
Progress is still slower than I always hope for. I'm continually irritated by the state of web application development. I'm doing something about this as I work through msgpad which is part of the reason why it's taking longer to complete. Still, I know the problems I face everyday are the same problems faced by many thousands of people around the world. It just makes sense to solve these problems properly, once, and for all.
Eric Hodel and Ryan Davis have released a Ruby obfuscater called ZenObfuscate. It takes your Ruby, obfuscates, and then compiles down to native binary (dll, so, and bundle). Anyway, I think this is an important step for Ruby. Coding in Ruby saves me a lot of time and bring me general well being, but I can't have people rip my intellectual property because it's all I have right now.
P.s. This post was written using Flock. So far it's nice, but I haven't played much.
