I’ve been scrambling this past week trying to close out a few projects before I start on some new ones. Here are a few links that came across my wanderings:

• Generating the code for an older version of Rails – A customer asked me how to generate a stock Rails application from an older release. Turns out RubyGems allow you to specify the version using underscores as an argument.
• Jeff Mackey’s notes on the SEED 2008 conference – Jeff took some notes from the 2008 SEED conference put on by 37signals, Segura Inc, and Coudal Partners.
• Practical Reporting with Ruby and Rails – New book by Apress. Sounds pretty interesting, especially with all the reporting plugins I’ve been building for Redmine.
• Real Programmers – Now if I can only get Emacs to buy my wife a Valentines Day gift, C-x M-c M-gift only works in emacs CVS.
