Wow, over half a year with no blog post. That may be a new record for blog laziness for me, but fear not! This bout of sloth shall not last, and the dearth of blog entries shall come to and end! This cure should come partially because I’ve switched to Tumblr and can now compose my entries in Markdown, and partially because that’s part of my whole Get a Better Life New Year’s Resolution Package 2.0™ (coming to a burned out programmer near you in 2011!).

Just published a new Scaling Rails screencast, this one covering Rack, Metal, and some of the Rails Middleware internals. By the end of this screencast you should know how to use Metal to help Scale your Rails apps, and how to write Rails Middleware.
