James,

The Lone Star Ruby Conf looks interesting, particularly yours and
Evan Shorts' sessions. Will these be available in some form after the
conference? I'd love to be there, but I'm half a world away.

Cheers,
Dave

Those of you following along closely have probably noticed that Ruby
Quiz launches have been pretty problematic these last couple of
weeks. The reason is that a bug in Ruby 1.8.6-p36 had crippled the
Ruby Quiz software and launches were pretty much happening by hand.
That wasn't working out well.

I've upgraded to the head of the Ruby 1.8 branch this morning and the
problem seems to be resolved. So hopefully, things will improve in
the coming weeks.

It's my fault this week's quiz was two days late, so it will run for
an extra week to give people the time they need.

Sorry for the inconveniences.

Thanks. That's very kind of you to say.

My hope is the the conference organizers will try to publish all of
the talks. I think this is a good habit.

I will put my slides online at the very least though.

Forgive me to be astonished and overly curios, was there any
difficulty to make a fullback to a former version?

It's not an inconvenience. I'm glad. I was going to pass on this one
because there was no chance I'd get something done by Wednesday. But
I think I can have something to submit by Wednesday after next.

Well, I upgraded from Ruby 1.8.5 because of a bug I ran into there.
It's true that I could have gone back to Ruby 1.8.4, which is the
best release in recent years in my opinion, but that felt a little
behind the times.
