I’ve been completely fed up with news/feed/rss/atom readers these days. I use Linux as my primary operating system, and I only have a few feeds that I want to rip through quick so I can get to reading the content. Yet, trying to find a reader that doesn’t suck donkey balls has been a chore.

Wanna know what all the Ruby vulnerabilities are? Or at least have a fun look at how to search through code for clues? It’s a blast.

I’m dropping a large blog post on everyone to just say that I haven’t died, I’ve just been busy working on my book for A/W about Mongrel. I had contracted with them to do a book about deploying Mongrel, but then decided it wouldn’t be a very good book since we’d already done one about that topic and there wasn’t too much more to say.

JEdit R/S-PLUS Mode

Not sure if this file still works, but I get a couple of people asking for it. It is just a syntax coloring mode for JEdit. It’s probably too old for the current JEdit, and I’m sure that there was a fellow who updated it. Feel free to take this and use it. JEdit is a nice editor, but I got tired of the frequent bugs it had, and the huge start-up time. I remember thinking I needed something better when it took 20 minutes to load JEdit one day.

The editor I use today is J which is a very nice editor written in Java. It’s super small, very portable, and incredibly intuitive. It actually has an extensive implementation of Scheme in it and is kind of more like Emacs than JEdit. I personally think this is probably the best editor I’ve ever used, and I’ve used a ton of editor.

Anyway, feel free to download this JEdit mode.
