Six Line eventmachine fix, huge performance gain...

RubyLearning.com Shorty award...

RubyLearning.com is up for a shorty award!  I think the work Satish has been doing with his volunteers at RubyLearning has been simply incredible for the community.  Satish does not charge for his ruby instructional course, and has had several iterations of classes that introduced programmers to Ruby.  He maintains one of the most useful ruby learning reference sites on the web, and as of this morning he only had 62 votes as one of three finalists.  Please help Satish and RubyLearning get the recognition it deserves.  Twitter, blog, tell your friends, but don't procrastinate on this one.  The last day to vote is Jan 23rd, 2009
