Dude, That Is So Fringe
- henning 18y ago"Giles Bowket - Fuck the man, fuck the mainstream. Programming is a tool to do your art. His art is music, his tool is Ruby, and the result is Arcaeopteryx. (Giles stole the show with this talk. He ran like twice as long as his alloted time but we were all so into it that no one minded.)" This seems to be his style -- his talk at the San Diego Ruby user group was like an hour (most talks are 10-25 minus) and no one really minded.
- andreyf 18y agoIs there a video? I Googled for his name, and got your comment as the top hit ;) Edit: that's because his name is spelled with two t's at the end.
- henning 18y agoIt should show up on the SD Ruby podcast within a month or two. Also Giles has slides on the web, code on Github, videos on Vimeo, and blog posts about it. He's not exactly keeping this private. :)
- azharcs 18y agoReginald Braithwaite - It's too bad Ruby isn't more like Lisp or Haskell. In the other post today (http://weblog.raganwald.com/2008/07/brief-history-of-dangerous-ideas.html http://weblog.raganwald.com/2008/07/brief-history-of-dangero...) he says he is retiring from Ruby Hacking and Blogging. They always indicate what is to come in the future.
