Joyent Opens Connector and Slingshot 1

I thought it was pretty cool to hear that Joyent open sourced what they claim to be “[Connector] represents one of the most comprehensive (and complex) use of the Rails framework to date!”

With over 30 Models, a route file to die for and various other interesting tid-bits of info… its pretty amazing to review this enormous Rails project! Big ups to Joyent for providing the Rails community with even more insightful information and support.

To pull trunk…

OS X Open Source

I just came across this handy dandy list of essential FOSS for Mac OS X.

OpenSourceMac.org is a pretty succinct list of essential tools.

As I try to adjust to OS X, I’ve found myself wanting to use more free/open source software wherever possible. Not just because it’s cheaper, but because it feels better.

So far, NeoOffice is working just fine. I tried OpenOffice.org under X11 but the interaction with OS X was a bit clunky. NeoOffice is great!
