JRuby 1.1.3 Performance

I tweeted this, but thought I'd put it here too.

The JRuby guys have been busy. They released JRuby 1.3.3.

We upgraded to it from 1.1.1. Our app runs JRuby as does our build.

Check out the performance difference in the last few builds!

OSCON Postgres Day Postgres FTS JRuby Slides

Ed Copony and I gave a presentation today at the OSCON PDX PUG Day.

Check out the slides Fighting Disease with PostgreSQL Full Text Search and JRuby on Rails

OSCON is here!

It may be the most epic OSCON ever. OSCON + Collaborative Software Initiative (CSI) co. meeting with open source luminaries in attendance + CSI nerd night - lots of stuff to do this week.

Good Day: R2 & Time Mag!

So it is all a but of a blur, but I'm pretty sure today was a good day.

Two things happened:

• Collaborative Software Initiative shipped R2 of our public health app
• A couple hours before that, this Time Magazine article hit featuring CSI & the project.

Check the groovy pic of the Portland office peeps (too bad rest of team couldn't be there - pros and cons to a distributed company - mostly major pros):

It's nice to have a head of steam!

Stay tuned - its going to be a newsworthy summer.

And now I will partake in a hike in Forest Park because I'm spent.
