Maid presentation

October 25th, 2012 by Ben

Since I wasn’t able to make it to the newhaven.rb meetup, I ended up presenting about Maid at ICRuby today. I was happy there was quite a bit of interest.

I thought I’d share my (quick and dirty) slides and example scripts I created for the presentation. There’s no audio (besides the Ruby5 story), but you should be able to get a good sense of what I presented.

There were lots of good questions (which I wish I had written down), including how to use it with iTunes, how to use it as a replacement for logrotate, how I was using Vagrant for testing, how to automate more than set of rules, etc.
