Move EC2 AMIs between regions

Today I spent some time figuring out how to move EBS-backed AMIs between different EC2 regions. To save you the effort, here’s a quick summary:

Chapter 7 update

As a couple different readers noted, there was a mistake in the flow of Chapter 7 of the Ruby on Rails Tutorial book: the error messages shown in Figure 7.5 didn't actually appear in the tutorial as written, since there was no call to @user.save in the create action to generate them.

In-depth JRuby Q&A: What Makes JRuby Tick in 2010?

JRuby is undoubtedly the most mature of the alternative Ruby implementations. Supporting Ruby 1.8.7 and 1.9.1 (mostly!) and JIT compilation, JRuby is already in use in mission critical Ruby apps and runs scarily fast on the JVM. In this interview with JRuby core member, Charles Nutter, we dig deep into what makes JRuby tick.

The future of FuzzyFinder-TextMate | Rails Fire

The future of FuzzyFinder-TextMate

Back in October I released a Vim extension for mimicking TextMate’s cmd-T file lookup feature. I use it heavily now, and it works great for me.

Sadly, the author of the FuzzyFinder Vim script, upon which my extension depends, keeps changing internal implementation details that I had to hook into to make my extension work. The result? Every few weeks my extension breaks with the latest FuzzyFinder.

Needless to say, this is work I don’t need. The fuzzyfinder-textmate stuff works fine for me. It works fine for people on older versions of FuzzyFinder. And I really don’t care to support this anymore.

If you’re passionate about this, please feel free to fork the project on GitHub and release your changes independently. Feel free to post your changes on the vim script page, even! I hereby release that code into the public domain. Do with it as you please!
