Friday's tab sweep for a little weekend reading.

• Rails, and how the opinion can keep back Rails EE
  Interesting opinion on plugin-overflow and blind framework switching.

• Tab Switching in Terminal
  Nice InputManager hack to enable Cmd-1 to 9 for directly switching to tabs.

• BackgrounDRb is growing up
  Well, who woulda thought. The new team switched the communication with the BackgrounDRb server to the more reliable Packet library. More information about the changes for the upcoming 1.0 release on the mailing list.

• Rendering with Erubis and Rails 2.0

• Utility Belt
  Extension kit for IRB, shortcuts for S3, using the clipboard in OS X, using Pastie, and much more.

• Declarative exception handling in your controllers with Rails 2.0
  Neat!
