What a day… after a long deployment yesterday, we had a few issues that demanded correcting today and called for an emergency release for YPC. It’s done things are good. Been home about 90 minutes, in that time I helped my friends over at Rareview deploy Build 2.0 of their project management application Projecturf.com. This [...]
Just shipped all of the Confreaks, LLC gear that I had in LA off to SLC so that Carl can get it prepped and shipped to Oslo, Norway. For the second year in a row we are headed to Oslo to record Smidig, an Agile Software Development conference. The conference uses a unique format compared [...]
Join Me at the Professional Ruby Voices That Matter Conference in Boston November 17 – 20! I will be giving a 30-minutes presentation called “The Many Facets of Ruby at YELLOWPAGES.COM”, in which I’ll detail a number of different ways that we utilize ruby at YELLOWPAGES.COM. Our consumer site was relaunched in June of 2007 [...]
I 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 [...]
Well the initial prep work on the website rubyhoedown2008.confreaks.com is done.

The trips back into the land of ASP.NET and C# have been painful to say the least. So tonight I started hacking… haven’t done much of that in a while, too [...]
Well it is official… I join the YELLOWPAGES.COM team as a dev manager starting next Monday – huge domain to wrap my mind around looking forward to it! After the first three days on the job I have to head to NYC to record Goruco 2008 as part of Confreaks. Hope to see some of [...]
I posted this badge a few days before I accepted a Job offer at YELLOWPAGES.COM which ultimately lead to me being in SLC packing to move to LA instead of attending RailsConf 2008, but I’ll be there next year. -Coby (6/22/08)
Ok Mountain West Ruby Conference was last weekend. Why am I writing about it now? Well I just started the transcoding of the lightning talks, the last piece of the conference. So by sometime tomorrow the entire two day conference should be up on the internet. We did a rush job Friday night(last week) after [...]
Well we went to New York, February 11th, 12th, and 13th to record portions of the O’Reilly Tools of Change for Publishers Conference. The event went very well. At this point, we do not know what videos will be posted on the web or where (O’Reilly’s decision), but the tutorials that we recorded will be [...]
