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. Currently sitting in the lobby of the Hilton Garden Inn waiting for transportation to the venue at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, then we begin setup. It’s raining like mad here, that wasn’t even in my thought pattern as a possibility… My business [...]
After installing and supporting YAF.NET (http://www.yetanotherforum.net) for a couple of clients, I have decided to build another YAF, but I’ll do it in Ruby. 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 [...]
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 [...]
Wow, what a trip. After flying from SLC to Milwaukee to Amsterdam to Oslo we arrived and were picked up at the airport. We immediately headed into to Oslo to DoGA to get things setup, so we could start recording the next morning. Thanks to North West airlines two of our cases of gear did [...]
Well I’m sitting in the Amsterdam Schiphol Airport waiting for the connecting flight to Oslo, Norway. Carl and I as Confreaks, LLC are going over to record the Smidig 07 conference. It is a Norwegian conference on Agile Software Development. See http://www.smidig.no for details. Videos for the conference will be posted in December. Edit: Videos [...]
It’s over with RubyConf 2007 held at the Omni Hotel in Charlotte, NC. Wow an incredible three days of material and an opportunity to hack and discuss with many in the community. This year Ruby Central contracted with us (Confreaks) to record the conference. It was great since it was RubyConf 2006 where Carl and [...]

Thanks goes out to Nathaniel Talbott and Jeremey McAnally, and all the other organizers and volunteers at Ruby Hoedown 2007! With it Confreaks, LLC has now [...]
Ruby Hoedown was a great regional conference. I’d say more, but you can watch for yourself in the not too distant future. The entire conference was recorded by Confreaks! The closing keynote was given by Marcel Molina, in which he defined three tenants for determining whether or not code was beautiful.
