360iDev is next week in Denver...and it's nearly sold out!
360iDev is around the corner and if you know the organizers or have been to 360flex then you know Denver is the place to be starting next Sunday if you are or wanna be an iPhone developer. The conference starts with a day of tutorials on Sunday then kicks in full gear Monday through Wednesday with three tracks of 80 minute sessions covering all angles of iPhone development from some of the best authorities in the fields.
You can find the schedule as ical or download a pdf

RMagick (from source) on Snow Leopard
After the release of 10.5, I published an article about building RMagick from source on Leopard. I won’t rehash the why, you can read the original article for that. My clean install necessitated updating the RMagick script, so here’s what worked for me to install from source on Snow Leopard! For the impatient, here’s the download link: rmagick-build.sh
First, we start with installing wget, as it seems to be a bit more clever than curl about dealing with mirrors, etc. Then, we compile and install each prerequisite package. Finally, we install the gem.
All the links in the script worked for me, but, depending on your location, network, conditions, etc, your mileage may vary. Enjoy!

UPDATE There is a bug with libgomp that breaks the convert utility (See comments below). the --disable-openmp configure option has been added to the script to fix this.
UPDATE 2 A new patchlevel of ImageMagick has been released that supersedes the original one referenced in this script, and the original has been removed from the server. Thanks to Sebastian for this update that will grab the latest release.
