Showing the Love
My friends Anibal and Edgar, the developers behind has_many :developers and rubycorner.com, put up a banner ad for MountainWest RubyConf. Not only that, they were the ones who got the ball rolling to do it. Aren’t friends great?
New Erlang Book
This is probably interesting to a lot of Rubyists, so I’ll post it here. Yesterday, I mentioned a rumoured Erlang book from O’Reilly. Overnight, I got confirmation, and posted about it here.

Giving Peter Seibel a Hand
Practical Common Lisp is an important book and, since it’s available for free, it’s also a great Common Lisp tutorial. Peter Seibel is asking for help in getting the word out to overcome the dry, dated, nasty lisp links that google currently likes.
