June 1, 2009 Over the weekend, Fidelity Ventures’ Larry Cheng compiled an excellent list of global VCs ranked by number of Google Reader subscribers.
I’ve taken the list a step further, providing links to each of their twitter profiles, where available. About 30% of the VCs on Larry’s list do not use twitter.

May 21, 2009 After building out a fairly involved environment in Seesmic Desktop, I needed to copy it over to another computer. This information was a little hard to find. They don’t guarantee it will work for transfer between different operating systems. Good luck!
You’ll need to copy the file “xmlAdapter.xml” to the second computer. The location of this file varies by OS.

It would be great to see an import/export feature in an upcoming release.

September 8, 2008 (Update: After sharing this story with a few friends, I was encouraged to send it to Leah Garchik at the San Francisco Chronicle. A few days later it appeared in print. Thanks Leah!)
This morning while walking to the J line stop on Church Street, I needed to stop at the blue post box on the corner to drop off one of those little red Netflix envelopes.
As I approached the post box, a frail little old lady was also approaching, but from the opposite side, and half a second closer than me.
I politely yielded to her, and to my surprise, after she released her letter, she looked up at me and said, “What movie did you watch?”
Being a little off balance without caffeine on a Monday morning, and also a bit stunned from her knowledge of Netflix, I quite innocently responded, “Snatch”.
But before the word finished leaving my mouth I knew what I had done, and without missing a beat began rapid firing my defense, “It’s with Benicio Del Toro…a British film…directed by Guy Ritchie…Brad Pitt is in it too…it’s about a boxer and a heist”.
Her response was simply, “Sounds more like a porno.”

August 16, 2008 There a couple ways to accomplish this. My application required the first option because the second wouldn’t work from within Eclipse.
require "win32/sound"
include Win32
Sound.play(SystemAsterisk", Sound::ALIAS) # play system asterisk sound
Sound.beep(600,200) # play a beep 600 hertz for 200 milliseconds
or
irb(main):001:0> puts "\a"
=> nil
irb(main):002:0>
The Ruby on Windows blog has some additional info about Adding Sound to Your Ruby Apps.
(Side note: I’ve posted this because it was almost impossible to find by googling. See for yourself what happens when you search for “ruby ring a bell”- you’ll get about 200,000 false positives.)
