Form is emptiness, emptiness is form.
After waking up at 4AM to the n-th “How do I fix the SSL problem in RailsInstaller/RubyInstaller?” in both project’s mailing lists, I stopped watching AGDQ for a couple of hours to spin up new Windows 7 virtual machines to upgrade RailsFTW to deal with those problems.
Version 0.19 is now out, with Rails 4.2.0 and RubyGems SSL fix.
A month and a half to go to build up my street cred for RubyConf PH…
Seriously, though, I’ve spent the past month working on stuff related to my upcoming talk, namely, about teaching Rails. At the top of the list was converting and formatting my old outdated Rails 3.0 book to Leanpub‘s markdown dialect.
Long story short, the book is now available there for online viewing. I’ve also gone the Humble Bundle-esque “Pay-what-you-want” for e-books scheme for people interested in giving me money to support my other writing endeavors.

In other news, I’ve finally updated RailsFTW to Rails 4.0.2 and Ruby 2.0 (2.1 is still unstable for Windows). Head over to the site and grab it while it’s hot.
Just a couple of quick Ruby related updates.
Last Thursday we held our September meetup at the Friendster office in Ayala. Here are the videos of the event:
More pictures are posted at the Facebook group.

In other news, I got around to updating RailsFTW to Rails 3.2.8, putting the installer ahead of RailsInstaller by a bunch of mini-releases. (LOL)
Updated installer can be found on the RailsFTW site.
My Game Jam post is waaay overdue but some stuff happened this week (impromptu upgrade, server migration) so I’ll only get around to post about it probably later today.
Anyway, this post is just about the new version up over at RailsFTW. This experimental build is based on TCS’s patched Ruby build which boasted a ~200% increase in performance.
See it for yourself:
Still hung-over from Global Game Jam 2012 (mini-write-up later) when I went to the RailsInstaller site on a whim.
Noticed that it still isn’t using Rails 3.2. So I decided to update my own to be ahead again.
Hopefully this would be the last RailsFTW version (hoping Luis would be able to convince Wayne to include MySQL to RailsInstaller so I won’t need to this anymore LOL).
