Rails Heavy: Links for 08-07-2007

Here’s you latest dose of link action. I have been told that del.icio.us and other services provide a handy way of doing these kind of things in an automated fashion (Thanks Donnie!). I don’t really dig that, as a) I’m not sure it will integrate with my blog easily and b) I always cringe when I see other people’s daily del.icio.us links. They just feel too impersonal, and I think you deserve better than that.

Anyways, today’s links are looking pretty Rails heavy.
