Rawr: JRuby application packaging tool

Rawr, a packaging and deployment tool, is all you'll ever need for your JRuby projects. With Rawr, a simple, pre-generated configuration file turns your code into an executable jar, a .exe for Windows, and a .app for OS X.

It's kinda like Shoes in that it gives you an exe for Windows, an app for OS X, and a jar that you can use everywhere else. Cool stuff.

BART to roll out TransLink this summer

If all goes as planned, the TransLink regional fare card should be available to BART riders starting this summer.

I'm not going to hold my breath, but I've been seriously waiting for this for a long time, especially now that I no longer live in AC Transit territory. I really, really hope they make their date this time, my translink card has been getting lonely.

Shamrock 'n Half Marathon Pictures

The pictures from the Shamrock 'n Half Marathon have been posted. These are the best pictures of all the races I've been in, so I'm actually debating if it's worth the $50 to buy them. There are 9 pictures of me, so that's about $5.50 a picture. Well, I have at least until 6/21 before they charge an extra $5 for the privilege of ordering the pictures, so I do have time to think about it.

Shamrock 'n Half Marathon Results

I ran the Shamrock 'n Half Marathon this morning, and it was awesome. I had lots of fun (and passing the 2:00 pace runner was the best feeling in the world, really. ;). The official results have been posted, and I finished in 1:46:47.4, which is a 8:09 minute mile. Even crazier than that, out of the 3603 people running the race, I came in 514th! Anyways, I'm generally psyched about the results. I still don't think I'll be running a full Marathon any time soon, but I definitely want to see how fast I can do a 10k and a 5k at this point.
