Effectively immediately I'm dropping support for 1.8.2. I never supported 1.8.3 so everything is 1.8.4 or above.

I only have tentative support for 1.9, but I'm working on both 1.9 and rubinius right now.

From a less than inspired blog post comes an awesome comment:

"Autotest is like a super duper little build monkey who throws poo whenever your tests fail."

Does anyone have an opinion on this? Removing the install/uninstall commands would not prevent the tarball/zip from being created, it just wouldn't have a handy dandy install command.

Does anyone (sane) not use rubygems yet? And no, I don't consider foaming-at-the-mouth rpm fanatics as sane.

I'm sitting next to Phil Hagelberg, author of BusScheme and he's working on it right now and he is not on the bus!

Lies I tell you! All Lies!

This adds uniform search across blogdigger, yahoo, and google. findory is dead. feedster and daypop simply suck and weren't worth all the timeouts.
