So much to write, so little time. (Isn't that always the case at good conferences?) Today I enjoyed meeting R0ml Lefkowitz, who gave the entertaining Tomato keynote. I'm looking forward to attending his "Failing to Succeed" talk later this afternoon.

Last night I hung out with John Lam, first at the wildly-successful FOSCON event, and later at the Sun Open Source party at American Cowgirls. His RubyCLR stuff is brilliant and I finally understood what it is all about. Checkout the link to see his version of IRB on Avalon-enhanced steroids. Very cool.

A detailed summary of my talk "Driving Rails Deep Into the Back Office" is in the works and will be posted here soon.
