-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Well, at least some (I can’t really judge, but compared to the videos on the same site available for MWCF2007, they aren’t all up yet): > **[Site not found · DreamHost](http://mwrc2008.confreaks.com/)** > > The owner of this domain has not yet uploaded their website. I’ve so far watched: Giles B.'s Code Generation: The Safety Scissors Of Metaprogramming talk which was nifty. Jeremey McAnally’s Deep Ruby talk (which was interesting in an academic sense to me, but is probably very informative for all you Ruby implementation hackers out there). The videos are in good quality (but by no means bandwidth friendly!). There seems to be a bit of everything for everybody on the conference tracks, so check it out (and the other talks they offer for download for different conferences). Thanks to the presenters for giving the talks, the Confreaks guys for making the talks available for poor souls like me (If any one wants to sponsor me to MW RubyConf2009, I take small, used notes, thank you :P), and of course many thanks to the organizers of the conferences in the first place. I appreciate all of this a lot. - – Phillip G. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - [http://enigmail.mozdev.org](http://enigmail.mozdev.org) iEYEARECAAYFAkf2KaUACgkQbtAgaoJTgL81+wCdGPMO9QjeTdSHmcBP+uhDnS3Q DkcAnRjKnj2N9kCuVA6qD1B4h+5K3gVY =is6E -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ---

We had a great time putting things together, but hearing that people appreciate the work makes it even sweeter. ---

And the archives kept me busy while waiting for the MWRC08 videos. It’s a great resource, I have to say, and I learned a lot. I’m sure to revisit some talks in the future. | You should really watch Jim W.'s closing keynote too.

I absolutely love the first part. The replacement talk’s great, too, though. 😛 And while I’m not really into digging around in Ruby’s guts, learning about how Ruby works is interesting on many levels. | Thanks.

I really, really like the videos, and it’s great to have the slides integrated the way Confreaks do it. Just great. Compared with Google’s Tech Talks, I prefer the Confreaks videos by a wide margin. - – Phillip G. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - [http://enigmail.mozdev.org](http://enigmail.mozdev.org) iEYEARECAAYFAkf2NMcACgkQbtAgaoJTgL+8ygCcCVgb+PIAyeKwWsydlEI6MAPs 9IYAnROlT97ApFiuSCTxOUS95eqNZHSE =OIqA -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
