Awesome guys, thanks a lot! And just to let everyone up to date, the event is actually now officially called Rails Summit Latin America. That’s right! So we will have real time translation of the sessions from english to both portuguese And spanish. So everyone in South America is invited. Registrations will open at the beginning of August. Stay tuned at akitaonrails.com. Thanks!
Extremely great remix, and yes, I’d like to have them as a separated download please. :)
Thanks guys for BackgrounDRb heads up!
Just to let you guys know: On the Core mailing list, there’s some discussion going on as to whether parts of make_resourceful/resource_controller should make it into core. Find it at http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-core/browse_thread/thread/fd6bab30d4c100d4.
Nice remix….plz post it as a separate download… lol :)
That Elliot Mason comment at the end of your podcast was in poor taste. Think about your demographic and what we actually want to hear before including content like that.
Sorry you didn’t care for the humor Byran.. You’re the first person we’ve heard from who didn’t appreciate it. I strongly encourage you to leave a voicemail explaining why, because we’re kinda in the dark here.
I’m not going to leave a voicemail.
The reason it was offensive is that you were glorifying negative racial stereotypes and using offense language (the N-word) in the same podcast where you advertising your services for code reviews. Offensive humor has its place, and most of us do enjoy it at times. It felt out of context here, and kind of threw me for a loop because your podcast on itunes doesn’t have an “explicit” tag.
Just because you didn’t hear about it, doesn’t mean it didn’t offend:

The content on your podcast is mostly good. Don’t ruin it! :)
Sorry it offended you, bryanl. I’m not the one who included the message but I’m the one who left it.
It wasn’t meant to offend or even glorify negative racial stereotypes. Rather, it was meant to be absurd. Come on, Netscape 4.0? That’s a racial stereotype now? The humor was supposed to be in how unrealistic the whole situation is, not in being offensive.
Extremely great remix, and yes, I’d like to have them as a separated download please. :)
