Thanks to new Patreon donor and member @fearoffish! Much appreciated!

TFW when _thought_ you'd pushed your branch and were waiting for the build results, only to realise after 30 minutes... you didn't.

Hey folks,
The ruby.social domain name is up for renewal soon, and looking at the overall expenses of running this instance, we could _really_ use a few more supporters on Patreon to help cover costs.
If you can spare a couple of bucks, it'd be really helpful!

I decided to create an account on ruby.social, so: hello all!
I had previous mastodon account but nothing really going on there, so I probably won't bother with a proper migration.

DragonRuby is sponsoring #jamcraft and is giving away free licenses to Game Toolkit. The hackathon starts in 5 days.
It's not an unhealthy "stay up all night" type of hackathon and you'll have almost two weeks to build your game. Please boost! http://jamcraft.dragonruby.org

I'm not saying you need to panic buy anything, but now is the time to start getting _mentally_ prepared for some significant changes to daily life with COVID-19.
Start figuring out how you're going to handle any social distancing measures, and how you can work from home, if (when) general transmission gets going in your area.
Thinking about what you might need to do now will put you in a much better position to actually do it when the time comes.
Successfully persuaded the devops person to *not* install rbenv in production.
One more step up the mountain…
