Posted by CobyR on September 23rd, 2008Parallels, provides as part of their community section a nice directory of virtual appliances for download with Parallels 2.0 and above.

I really do love the [...]

Lone Star Ruby Conference 2008
Posted by CobyR on September 7th, 2008I spent the last two day’s in Austin, Texas at the Lone Star Ruby Conference. It was a really great event, was able to meet “Matz” again, and have a short conversation about the future of ruby. The humbleness of this man never ceases to amaze me.
YELLOWPAGES.COM and PeepCode sponsored the video recording of the [...]
