Ok, this is a sign that Ruby has gone too freaking far. I thought I was sick of hearing about ruby running on this, ruby running on that. Now there are rumors (see screenshot) of a group of German hackers that have managed to smash ruby down to 27k and run it on a Commodore 64. IL

Ian on planeteclipse shows off a new tin cup approach to fund raising. Should be interesting to see who actually tosses a few quarters in. While I would love to make merciless fun of this, it actually makes a lot of sense. Foundations like wikipedia, FSF and Apache need to agressively raise funds to keep the goodness coming. Just like companies like IDEA, Oracle and SUN need to have great

As predicted, NetBeans 6.0 launched today to much hooplah. Here is some of the early blogger reaction:1. "Is Eclipse 3.3.1.1 better and Jdeveloper 10g"Mike makes many controversial comments like that Eclipse runs very fast, but is difficult for some developers to start using. JDeveloper on the other hand is easy for some developers to start using by is very resource intensive. Whoa, I haven't

Rumor is that IntelliJ marketing drones are pissed. Here is their kick ass logo for the 70 launch (frig I hope they didn't pay much for this):Cool. Yeah, associate your ide with cute little robots, I, uh, get it. I bet some marketing peon has associated each robot with some sort of functionality. Oh there is the communications-ready bot, and the ease of use bot, and the round button bot.Here is

Wayne on planeteclipse notes in a strictly scientific survey that 99% of eclipse live attendees find the webinars useful. What Wayne didn't report is that 97% of those found it useful to make it look like they were doing something useful while in fact trolling /.IL

Geertjan notes on planetnetbeans Sun's plans for launching NetBeans 6.0 - they're going on safari and humping everything they can find.Expect NetBeans 6.0 to be launched this week to much fanfare, but cool reception. It's turned into a bloated tangled mess of goop a-la-eclipse.IL
