We'll follow Eagle's Nest Nature Trail, a shaded, gentle loop through mature forest with stunning views over Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, then explore the historic Shek Lui Pui Reservoir before returning to our starting point. It's a relaxing workout with rewarding city-meets-nature views – perfect for a Saturday unwind. Special Note – Monkey Encounters: This trail passes through Kam Shan Country Park, also known as "Monkey Hill." We will almost certainly encounter wild macaques. They are generally calm but please do not feed them, avoid eye contact, and keep food/plastic bags inside your backpack. Who should sign up? This is a slow/moderate paced leisure hike perfect for beginners, families, and those looking for an easy nature walk. It is not suitable for fast hikers as we will maintain a relaxed pace with breaks. The trail is well-defined, mostly shaded, and offers a "quiet forest escape" just minutes from the city. DO: ✔️ Be on time at Shek Lui Pui Reservoir bus stop on Tai Po Road - Piper's Hill. We will wait a maximum of 10 minutes after meeting time. ✔️ Wear good, comfortable walking or hiking shoes with grip (trail has uneven sections and stairs). ✔️ Bring at least 1.5 liters of water and some snacks. ✔️ Bring sun protection (hat, sunblock) and rain gear just in case. ✔️ Use mosquito repellent (wooded areas can have mosquitoes). ✔️ Have lunch before the hike – there are no food options at the meeting point.

From there, we walk a short distance to the Lion Rock Country Park entrance and the Eagle's Nest Nature Trail archway (near MacLehose Trail Section 5 sign M115). The 3.6km Eagle's Nest Nature Trail is a loop around "Tsim Shan" (Eagle's Nest Hill), named after the Black Kites that nest there. We'll follow the well-marked nature trail through dense, shaded woodland, passing: Glimpses of Kowloon Reservoir (a declared monument with a unique arched dam built in 1910) Native plants including Shiuying Bamboo and wild coffee plants Panoramic views of Kowloon Peninsula and Hong Kong Island in the distance Quiet forest paths with little to no cell signal After completing the nature trail, we'll loop around Shek Lui Pui Reservoir (built 1925, Grade II historic structure) with its distinctive green waters and serene atmosphere before returning to the bus stop. Total hiking time approximately 3-3.5 hours at a leisurely pace. Transport: To start: Take KMB Bus 72 (Cheung Sha Wan/Tai Wo) or 81 (Jordan/Sha Tin). Get off at "Shek Lui Pui Reservoir" bus stop on Tai Po Road. From Kowloon side: Cross the footbridge to the opposite side From New Territories side: Walk left along Piper's Hill Road From finish: Same bus stop – take Bus 72 or 81 back. Be sure to board on the correct side for your destination.

**\*\*\* We've Moved! Bold Penguin - 6555 Longshore St, Dublin, OH 43017 \*\*\*** Ryan Carroll **Local AI in Rails: Fast, Cheap, and Predictable** Rails apps usually reach for external AI services when they need “intelligence,” but that approach can bring latency, cost, and unpredictability along for the ride. This talk shows a different path: running a Japanese sentiment model directly inside a Rails app, using ONNX Runtime, background jobs, and real-time updates to keep the user experience fast and responsive. Using a small app called **Sentiment Omikuji** as the case study, the talk walks through how the model was trained in Python, exported to ONNX, and loaded into Ruby for local inference. It also covers how Japanese text is tokenized, how the sentiment output drives a fortune generator, and why the app uses Solid Queue to keep model work off the request path. Along the way, the talk explores the tradeoffs of local inference versus API-based LLMs, and why classic machine learning can still be the right tool for focused problems. Attendees will leave with a practical architecture they can adapt in their own Rails applications, plus a clearer picture of when local AI makes sense, how to keep it predictable, and what it takes to make it feel good in a real app. **AGENDA:** * See updates to parking below * Doors open at 5:30, feel free to come and hang out before! * Official start of the meeting is at 6:30pm * After the meeting is done, we will go hang out at a nearby space in Bridge Park! If you can, please sign up via meetup by noon the day of the meeting so we can have an estimate headcount for food :) We always order extra, so feel free to join us even if you don't get signed up! Thank you to Bold Penguin for providing the food and location! **Parking & Arrival:** **Parking:** Parking in Bridge Park is free. The closest lots are the Mooney Garage and the Hotel/Endres Garage. **Entry:** The doors to the office are to the right of PINS. The street level door and elevators lock at 6pm. If you arrive after that, someone should be there to let you in, else call the number posted. Take the elevator to the 2nd floor. Once you exit the elevator, turn right. \*\*\* We are a bunch of professionals, students, and geeks who are excited about Ruby programming language ([http://ruby-lang.org/](http://ruby-lang.org/)) and Rails framework ([http://rubyonrails.com/](http://rubyonrails.com/)) and the joy they have brought back to web development. Our main goal is to share the love of the Ruby and Rails ecosystems with anyone that is interested. We cater to everyone, whether a non-programmer through advanced Rubyists. * We give lectures on programming topics * We freely provide decades worth of experience * For full details of this month's meeting please visit [http://columbusrb.com](http://columbusrb.com)

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** *Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code* Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
