Next meeting -- and RailsConf 2012

[Joe Alba]

Allow me to invite you all to… someone else's office!

I chatted with Eric, and he'd like to host our next meeting at the new BatchHaus on Wednesday, March 7th.

171 Chestnut St 2nd floor, Providence (right above the Art Bar)
http://is.gd/8QpmsV

Also, I e-mailed Evan Phoenix, and he'll give us a 10% coupon code to RailsConf 2012 if we can get at least 3 people to commit. I'm going this year. Anyone else who is interested, please e-mail me directly. Once I get 3, I'll ask for the code. RailsConf 2012 (http://railsconf2012.com/) is in Austin, TX April 23-25 with the first day being a full day of presentations instead of a training day. The site says that this RailsConf will have more advanced topics than previous conferences, with a separate track for newbies.

Hi all,
I just wanted to remind everyone that we'll be having the RiRug
meeting at the new Batchhaus this Wednesday 7 Mar. It was nice of
apple to introduce the new ipad before our meeting so we have
something to chat about.
I'll be doing a demo of the new Batchbook. Then maybe going over some
of the things I've learned during the rewrite.

Like Craig mentioned in another email, if anyone can talk about the
asset pipeline I would love to hear it.

If you are planning on coming please let me know so I can plan on
having enough pizza/drinks.

[Joe Alba]

I'm in.

[Michael Auclair]

I'll be there.

[Ben Simpson]

The offer is still on the table for me to talk about ActiveRecord's
"_before_type_cast". I don't want to force it on anyone though...

[Ben Simpson]

I am ready to present ActiveRecord's before_type_cast. Work me in for
a 20 minute spot please. Also, I need to borrow a laptop for my
presentation, if there are any volunteers. Do we have a projector
available?

[David Piehler]

What time is tonight's meeting?

[Adam Tucker]

6pm, but first-time attendees are required to attend the 5:30 hazing. Bring a change of clothes.

(all of the above is false except for the 6pm part)

Usually kicks up around 6 but folks filter in any time after work. But
I'll let Eric give a firmer answer on that since its his spot.

[Eric Krause]

We'll be here all day. So come on by whenever. We'll plan on
starting the talks whenever there is a critical mass or at 6.

[David Piehler]

I expected the first-time hazing to involve an impromptu standup on the pros and cons of Node.js over Rails, from a Rubyist's perspective. I was getting nervous.

See you all by 6pm.

[Ben Simpson]

The hazing involves an excruciating hour of using whatever text editor
you favor least. For ViM users, its Emacs; for Emacs users, its still
Emacs :)

[Adam Tucker]

Also you have to deal with Rackspace customer service the whole time.

[Joe Alba]

C'mon, man, you just need to submit a ticket.

[Ben Simpson]

I published my slides on ActiveRecord's before_type_cast from last
night's meeting: http://goo.gl/HZNbm

[Craig Jolicoeur]

I posted the slides to the rirug.com website as well for those interested

[Ben Simpson]

Has anyone been noticing any strange DNS issues with rirug.com? I visited it earlier and it resolved to a shopping website. I figured I must have clicked an ad by mistake. I tried later on my phone and I got directed to another random website.
