Lots of interesting new stuff showed up over the weekend:
- i18n - The i18n gem has reached version 0.2.0 with lambda support among other goodies.
- can_touch_this - A permissions system extracted from rboard.
- sort_by - Active Record/ Action View extension to produce user-sorted, paginated tables in your views.
- Posterous now supports TrailerAddict embeds and Github Gist code drops. - With Gist support, Posterous is getting to be an interesting alternative for a quick & dirty coding blog.
- Installing FreeImage and ImageScience on Debian Linux - Came in handy, though note that the current version of FreeImage has changed.
- Ruby 1.9.1 & Friends - Ryan Bigg has revised his big blog entry on how to get rails up and running on 1.9.1. It's getting closer to prime time.
- padlock_authorization - Simple object-based role authorization plugin. If I wasn't rolling my own authorization I'd probably try this one next.
- Glow - The BBC gets into the JavaScript library business. Big selling points appear to be downlevel browser and multiple version support.
- Mercurial: The Definitive Guide - Bookmarking in case I'm ever forced to use Mercurial.
- Phoenix - Real-time editing for web pages, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, within the confines of Firefox.
- Announcing Appsta - Gem that extends the templating facility in Rails 2.3 with knowledge of GitHub and Heroku, among other things.

Mercurial is surprisingly nice, give it a try ;-)
