Y'all, I'm feeling awful wistful and nostalgic these days.

For a bit, I thought I missed the old days of Austin on Rails but, just between you and me, I just miss y'all. I miss spending an evening at the pub with you folks, dishing that hot goss and planning schemes and dreaming big dreams.

It's no secret what happened - life and kids and work and shifts in priority. I get it. We all get it.

You can't step into the same river twice, said Heraclitus. I say we prove that jerk wrong.

Let's get together and sit and drink and talk and think and scheme and dream - add a comment if you're interested along with dates and times that work for you. This ain't a democracy but we can do our best to accomodate the most we can. This also ain't exclusionary - if you're reading this and don't feel like you were a part of the OG AoR scene but for some reason want to join us, you're heckin invited too. I've got a drink and a smile for all y'all.

ruby-1.9.3-p327 cumulative performance patch for rbenv

This installs a patched ruby 1.9.3-p327 with various performance improvements and a backported COW-friendly GC, all courtesy of funny-falcon.

Requirements

• rbenv
• ruby-build

You will also need a C Compiler. If you're on Linux, you probably already have one or know how to install one. On OS X, you should install XCode, and brew install autoconf using homebrew.
