<p>
I was in Seattle last weekend for <a href='http://www.rubyconf.org/'>RubyConf 2002</a>. I got to meet Matz (the author of <a href='http://www.ruby-lang.org/'>Ruby</a>), and I learned a bunch of cool stuff. A few of the interesting speeches: a presentation by <a href='http://whytheluckystiff.net/'>Why the Lucky Stiff</a> on <a href='http://www.yaml.org/'>YAML (YAML Ain't a Markup Language) for Ruby</a>, a presentation by Dan Sugalski on <a href='http://www.parrotcode.org/'>Parrot</a>, and a rountable discussion with Matz (a transcript of which is available <a href='/rubyconf2002/'>here</a>. Be sure to check out my <a href='/gallery/20021101-rubyconf2002/'>RubyConf 2002 photo gallery</a>.
</p>
<p>
I released version 0.4.2 of <a href='/software/imlib2-ruby/'>Imlib2-Ruby</a>. The ruby-talk announcement is <a href='http://www.ruby-talk.org/54890'>here</a>, and a complete list of changes is available <a href='/software/imlib2-ruby/ChangeLog'>here</a>.
Oh yeah, <a href='http://www.linuxbrit.co.uk/'>Tom</a> released version 1.2.2 of <a href='http://www.linuxbrit.co.uk/feh/'>feh</a>, which includes my Xinerama patches and a few other goodies.

<p>
Finally, a few interesting links. I've been reading <a href='http://forum.oc-forums.com/'>OC Forums</a> almost daily now, there's lots of interesting computer hardware information there. <a href='http://www.jmaguire.com/'>John</a> pointed me at <a href='http://www.ozones.com/'>Ozones</a>, which is the craziest cross-platform JavaScript I've ever seen. He's also got a bunch of really cool <a href='http://www.handson.nu/'>hands-on graphics tutorials</a>. <a href=''>Richard</a> gave me <a href='http://www.paulgraham.com/icad.html'>this</a> really interesting Paul Graham article on Lisp.
