Forgot to mention that the number of hits to blog entries through FeedBurner only increased 5% since yesterday, while subscribers increased 65%. I think FB’s busted?

FD is indeed busted. Seems like it added 52k subscribers to both Loud Thinking and SvN. I don’t think article is THAT hot ;)

Rails is better then anything else. I use it daily, than I go off and use other softwares.
I�m not sure that is relevant. Linux probably powers the servers that most Rails apps run on. So what if DHH doesn�t use Linux as a desktop OS?
IIRC the folks at 37 Signals use FreeBSD on the server, so Linux isn’t there either. “You wrote software that a lot of other people use with Linux” is a rather tenuous link.
My guess is that the people at LinuxJournal don’t actually want to make a magazine that’s solely dedicated to a kernel, so I guess when you consider it that way it makes perfect sense.

Hehe, the opensource folks will milk DHH for what it’s worth. Imagine that - the author of a popular open source project and he even knows how to dress (and, most likely, what the word “deodorant” stands for!).

Who is David and what is Linux?

Many congrats. Well deserved.

David is h4wt. If I was a girl or gay, I’d be driving toward Chicago right now. ��
nigel : BiZwiKi.CN 31 May 06
Nice shoot, guy.

You would have thought the success of Rails would have made DHH a bit happier!
I want to see a full-on broad teeth baring grin in your next publicity shot please Mr Hansson.

Maybe he’d crack a smile if was on ground level, but he’s on top of a building, ya see. Gotta play it gangsta style.

Congratulations…a nice honor and well deserved I’m sure.

Kind of odd if you ask me. DHH hasn’t used Linux in years according to his blog.
Nick Carlson 31 May 06
Many contrats.
Well deserved in my opinion.

37signals, you should watch out. It seems as if David is looking for a new career: Model. This is not the first cover that features him…
Dan Grossman 01 Jun 06
Anyone else notice that after this story, the FeedBurner circulation for this blog went from 27,000 to 78,000?

Yup. David just gave us his two week notice. He’s off to Milan to model for Zegna. It was fun while it lasted.

Hey DHH, what’s it like being an international playboy? You may make Jason jealous.
Hey wait… none of these posts are from women…
