I recently discovered that Steve Yegge is blogging again at http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/. His essays are usually a must-read -- you won't find a better explanation of what's wrong with Java than his Execution in the Kingdom of Nouns.
Some cool new features landed with Rails 2.0, but unfortunately the nature of the script/generate scaffold function has changed.

Emacs moves the cursor between paragraphs, while Scintilla moves it to the start of each paragraph.
