Microsoft to buy Powerset? What's the deal with Powerset?

2008-07-04T06:06:34Z

I used to read hasmanythrough.com quite a bit and I remember this blog post:

After that I hadn't really tracked what Powerset was up to or about, though
I got the impression that Josh Susser may have moved on to other things.

Hi guys,

Just to add to the good feeling: I've successfully upgraded our
production site to Passenger with Ruby Entreprise Edition.

All in all, it was the one of the easiest upgrades I've ever done. It
was harder to upgrade the site from Rails 1.2.6 to 2.1.0...

Performance has improved, setting up another server will now be way

Hey guys,
Nahum's done a lot to keep the Wellrailed presentations ticking over
recently. On top of organising the presentations and finding sponsorship
for and managing the pizza, he also did the awesome session on memcached a
couple of months back. If you'd like to show Nahum some Rails love, think

Just in case there's a few others out there like me who will be giving
mod_rails a go someday - here's a wee story about setting it up on your dev
machine ->

It pretty much boils down to the (empty) promise of: 'the adulation of
your peers'.
Which in itself wouldn't buy many loaves of bread :-)

Just think how awesome it would look if your CV could include "captain

Contract work

2008-07-02T23:19:56Z

Hi guys,

I'm looking for work again.

So if the word could be passed around I'd appreciate it.

Preferably contract based at this stage, but if the right opportunity
presented itself...

Cheers,
Nahum Wild

It sounds as though there will be another release from the 1.8.6/1.8.7
branches this Friday (Japan time). I have been following along and
reports have been good with the latest patches (e.g. Seg Faults fixed,
etc).

You can read comments from Urabe Shyouhei (who is maintaining the
1.8.6 branch) here:

Thanks for the updates guys. Yeah, I must admit I have my fingers crossed

Please post here if you hear progress on this.
Cheers,

There have been a number of ruby updates coming down for Ubuntu 7.10 &
8.04 over the last week, which state that they are security fixes, but
I am not sure that they are these or others.

That's what they're saying. However, it seems to me it would be easier to
update old rails to run on 1.8.7 than to backport the 1.8.7 fixes without
