Chris Matthieu and Steven Bristol interviewed me for the Rubyology Podcast a few days ago and they have posted the interview here. I talk about my early days of computing, merb, vertebra, rubinius and the story behind how Engine Yard got started and has grown. I’ll warn you though it’s a long interview, 120 minutes! Have a listen if you want to hear the story.

I’m going to be speaking at Oreilly’s Velocity conference next week on Monday June 23rd. Velocity is a conference about Web Scale operations and performance, lot’s of stuff about infrastructure and cloud computing.
I’ll be giving a short talk on Vertebra at 4:45pm on Monday and I will also be on a panel called “Getting into the Clouds” with some guys from Amazon, 3terra, Rackspace and joyent at 3:45pm. Should be fun.
Come see it if you’re in the area or already coming to the conference.

I’d like to point folks to our new Engine Yard Express VMWare image. This is a replica of an EY slice that you can download and use locally whether you are an EY customer or not. When you boot it up it will autotune mysql to use the proper amount of ram, boot up a merb and a rails app along with nginx and monit et all. It will give you a user/pass and show you the IP address as part of the boot process. So just boot it up and peek at the IP address on port 80 and port 81, the index pages of the rails and the merb app have detailed instruction on how to get a deploy.rb and deploy your own code.
Enjoy!

Here are the slides from my talk at RailsConf 2008. I’m too tired to write much more right this instant so I’ll let the slides talk. Rest assured you will here more about vertebra in the near future…
Here is a PDF of the slides if you are having trouble with the flash slideshare version:
