.NET vs Rails

I’m meeting an old acquaintance tonight along with some other techie friends for an informal workshop. Both of us are quite entrenched in our own camps. He works a lot with .NET and I only develop with Ruby on Rails. I haven’t seen a line of ASP since back in the British Telecom days in Dublin so It’s going to be really interesting to see how .NET has progressed over the years and to see if I’ve got the Rails chops to impress upon them how great it is.

Ballmer is close to becoming the new Withnail

As he’s so quoteable

I’ll bet our ads will be less edgy. But my 85-year-old uncle probably will never own an iPod, and I hope we’ll get him to own a Zune

He was right about the ads. Not sure about the usability of a Zune over an iPod though, no matter what age.
