Palmist is a tool I’ve developed to make it easier to reduce the  
amount of time your rails app spends in a MySQL database. You can find  
out more about it here:

Those of you new to Rails might also be interested because the tool is  
actually a Rails app using version 2. It’s very small and I think  
reasonably well put together, so it’s possible you could use it to  
help learn Rails.

Enjoy!

Looks interesting. I’ll have to check it out sometime. Thanks for  
sharing.
