If you don't thank your lucky stars every day that @github exists, you should. We could be stuck with SourceForge https://t.co/6i8Uoq2T

Just finished v1 of slides for @engineyard webinar - Rubinius and Ruby: A Love Story. Y'all are attending, right? http://t.co/rinZKjf

Curious how much memory Rubinius uses? Find out! http://j.mp/gxDoEV
