Hello, world! I'm looking for alpha testers for our new ElasticSearch add-on at @Heroku. Do me a favor & RT if you want an invite to test :)

I just uploaded my @herokujp presentation on why full-text search is so much faster than SQL, plus indexing Japanese: http://t.co/jytPI07m

For anyone trying to deploy Rails 3.1 apps on Heroku Cedar, here's the official docs hot off the press: http://t.co/Rvmpxmr /via @hone02

I recently launched our Bonsai ElasticSearch Heroku addon into public beta. Take it for a spin and give me feedback! http://t.co/AEMvesan

It's true — weeks of programming really can save you from hours of building a spreadsheet.

@herokujp if you want to play with Kuromoji on Solr 3.6.0 today, try this schema.xml: https://t.co/zPGp6FpN (coming soon to @websolr!)

Thanks James and Adam for showing off @websolr in the CloudStock keynote!

If you want to improve your Ruby-fu, GitHub's Ruby Style Guide is a good place to start. I learned a thing or two. https://t.co/k8uyTSxL

Just released Sunspot 2.0.pre.111215 featuring Solr 3, Spatial & Field Collapsing: http://t.co/rtOxT4VW — try it out and give us feedback!

A career as a software engineer has done a great job preparing me for hand modeling.

The less you charge, the more entitled the customer feels. I re-learn this whenever my earliest clients (c.'05) email to ask for free stuff.

As it turns out, distributed systems are hard.

I cannot recall a more epic day of quality food and drinks and conversations than @Heroku's inaugural #Waza.

Pushed up @sunspot_ruby 1.3.0.rc6 today with @alindeman — should be the last before 1.3.0, give it a try in your apps!

Four hours in and we've got a Monome sending messages to browsers via AMQP+WebSockets. And it's really fast! Next: build a sequencer in JS…

@herokujp friends: I have soft launched Solr 3.6.0 to @websolr's US East region! New analyzer classes are there (but not lang/* files yet)
