This month's CVREG meeting is tonight. We're gonna be going over the happenings of RailsConf. I

'll be giving a talk on refactoring thick RESTful controllers with make_resourcesful. Seeing that yesterday was WWDC, I didn't get much time to prepare it (YES you can ONLY prepare 1 day in advance for Ruby presentations, didn't you know?). It's going to be a live code talk so i think it'll be pretty interesting. I always prefer doing/seeing those myself.

There's no central location for the plugin so here are some links:

• http://svn.hamptoncatlin.com/make_resourceful/trunk/
• http://groups.google.com/group/make_resourceful
• http://nex3.leeweiz.net/posts/7

If you can, try to make it out. It's gonna be a good one. Oh, and of course the usual free soda and pizza, you know how we roll.

The Ruby Hoedown just opened for registration. Its all going down in Raleigh, NC on August 10-11 2007.

Its the South's own little Ruby fest and its gonna be awesome. Scheduled to speak are Marcel Molina, Jr., Bruce Tate, Ezra Zygmuntowicz, Jay Phillips, Ken Auer, and more!

The Hoedown is only $100, so go register fast, I'm sure its gonna sell out.

If RailsConf's size and attendance scared you, come see us at the Hoedown where it'll be a much more intimate gathering of fans of your favorite programming language. It's gonna be great!

Look at me, no more default layout.

I updated the design of my blog tonight. I created this months ago and just never really finished it. So got it good enough to launch and just went with it. Its rough around the edges, but it will give me something to play with.

I got sick of using the default layout. That's not even the layout shipping with Mephisto anymore! I'm hoping the new design will inspire me to post more, so we'll see!

Comments welcome.
