As mentioned at the #SFRuby meetup, I'm looking for your ancient #Ruby binaries!

The oldest I have thus far is Ruby 1.4.0 on Cygwin and Ruby 1.6.2 for Cygwin, MS-DOS DJGPP, and mingw32.

I know there are weirder platforms with official binaries. Ping your #Japanese #RubyFriends! :)

My plans include running these on weird Japanese PCs at places that retro computers show up.

Being surrounded by #RubyFriends, old and new, at #Euruko inspired me to rejoin the instance. Being around so much love and energy in the #Ruby community is fantastic. It’s my first Euruko and my first time seeing @matz live. As always, @marcoroth is pushing #Rails forward, and I can’t wait to plug in Herb on my next project. Finally, I was proud to see my teammate, @rhannequin, give his talk with such coolness and aplomb. Roll on day two tomorrow!

Open request to Ruby/Rails/tech podcasters: How about not booking DHH anymore. There are lots of new and interesting people to hear from who aren't nazis. #RubyLang #RubyOnRails #RubyFriends

Hey #RubyFriends, I haven't talked much #Ruby this summer. Life's been full, and I don't write much in my favorite language at my day job right now. But I am very close to (finally!) wrapping up the current edition of my #RSpec book. One more chapter to go! https://leanpub.com/everydayrailsrspec/
