Great lunch today with a bunch of us Orlando tech types. Massive props to fellow UCF season ticket holder Dan Benjamin for rounding everyone up.

Rob Dempsey shared some details of their upcoming acts_as_conference, which if your into that whole RoR thing, you should check out. It'll be in early February of this year, which is right around the time most of the country is pretty crappy. We have two seasons here in Orlando. Hot-as-hell, and Completely-friggin-awesome. We'll be right in the midst of Completely-friggin-awesome.

Gregg and Jason shared some of their new ideas for videos over at RailsEnvy, and I got to wax a little with Jason on frameworks in general. I was also about to get their opinion of the CD baby switch back to PHP. Lots of neat stuff going on in the software world, and these guys usually have their fingers on the pulse of it.

Chris Scott can't grow a beard, I got to meet Michael Blake, and I got to take a few cheap shots on Michigan's season with one of their alumni, Mr. William Couch.

If you get the chance to check out 310 for lunch, I had their smoked chicken ravioli. It was just as "delicate" as described. Fragile, even. I'm not sure what that means.

If your a software badass, preferably with Rails experience, create an Emurse resume and send the link to Dan. He's hiring.

UPDATE: Today's lunch, and our future lunches, will officially be known as lunch_fu. Here's the team picture of the people who were still left when, well, we took the picture. ;) Can't wait for the next one.
