meanwhile, back in the jungle: it's unbelievable how simple helma object publisher installs on mac os x! downloading, unpacking and starting – voilà! no configuring needed (except for the twisted at heart). makes me careless for another release of a classic mac version of hop.

and certainly, i also got the mysql package for os x from marc liyanage's website. the webmonkey helped me installing it.

funny, there is that ruby language crossing my way again... interesting to read the translation of some chapters of the japanese "pragmatic programmer's guide".
