Some serious, grown-up, ruby instrumentation. Sadly only on platforms that support Dtrace, though we can all hope that Linux will support Dtrace soon now that Oracle (a linux supporter) owns Sun.

Very slick, uses twitter traffic about a topic as a way to rank search results rather than PageRank or similar algorithm. Also fun because its a Yahoo search mashup hosted on Google App Engine.

A continuous integration framework, nice replacement for the somewhat rickety CruiseControl.rb. Unfortunately it only works with git - may have to hack svn support onto it.

When merging between svn branches with git-svn
As described here, when doing something like:
$ git checkout some-svn-branch
$ git merge --squash master
$ git commit -m 'merging changes from branch to master'
$ git svn dcommit
The —squash is important. Without it your branch has an identity crisis and “git svn dcommit” tries to talk to the trunk svn url instead of the branch.
