Thanks for the review, Doron. The best thing an author can ever hear is that his or her materials helped people be more awesome in their hobbies and work. Loved hearing that you could show off some productive tips and tricks at the office.

Re: GitHub hacked, millions of projects at risk of being modified or deleted

It would be constructive if the author checked the top-linked page http://github.com/security that has been there for a very long time, rather than saying "if GitHub performs security audits, that is."

My students have been concerned about this type of cloud outage. They don't expect perfection. They can tolerate outages. But they have high expectations for precision and acknowledgement of outages. I acknowledge it is a hard problem to solve, but perhaps more focus or effort should be spent on it. Not trying to be an armchair quarterback, but just raise awareness that folks highly value outage reporting precision.

Sounds like a Neal Ford quote.

A great writeup that I think could be made even better by the addition of the git bundle create --since"2 weeks ago" master style notation and also a showcase that a bundle can be used as a fetch location like: git fetch mybundlefile.bundle

Re: Working With Multiple Ruby Versions Has Never Been This Easy

Even though you guys are the Ruby pros leveraging use_ruby_XXX, in some ways, this is actually a tool that provides the most value for Ruby novices like myself. When learning Ruby, it seems that each book or tutorial has an expectation on a given version. This makes aligning with book samples trivial. Thanks!

Insert Web View is gone in Keynote '09. Odd. Bummer. So I'm back to using the Copy as RTF plugin from Textmate, but that works just fine for me.

Well, thank you so much Mustafa for this awesome addition to Ganymede. I've already got everyone downloading 3.4 at my large client I'm consulting with and we're all getting our GTalk accounts set up to use this awesome new feature. This will simply change how our geographically dispersed workforce will collaborate. Can't wait for project synchronization in the future. Who knows, maybe I'll try to help make it a reality!
