I know, I’m shouting, but there’s stuff to shout about! I’ve hated ri for being so slow for so long. The new one is out! I really recommend installing rdoc 2 and firing up ri for the first time. Now only the ‘first time’ takes a long time :D It’s joyous, just under a second I can really [...]

Here’s some stuff from the #ruby-lang mailinglist, with my replies inlined.

Mood: seriously annoyed. Sorry to all of you to whom I have mentioned my upcoming ojbect_protocol release, that are hoping it to come soon. As much as I would like to release it soon, I do not have the time to finish off the specs, docs and examples any time soon. I refuse to release my first [...]
