Gmail decided to freak out on me tonight. After logging it, it would just continuously refresh the page immediately after loading. I don’t know if this means gmail is having issues, or my machine is just pissed off at me tonight, or what. It was consistent across browsers (mac ff, safari, webkit).
So […]
Bored and procrastinating. Might as well link some things up for you, gentle reader.
Deprecations coming in Rails 1.2 - prepare yourself
Serious vulnerability in Ruby’s CGI libary (1.8.5 and below!) - you are effected if you are using Mongrel, plain CGI, or Litespeed - you are NOT effected if you are using FastCGI. See […]
So I went to RubyConf, I went to Ajax Experience, stopped in to Milwaukee on the way back to see a friend, and am finally home and back into the swing of things. It was a long trip with some nasty red-eye flights, and the day before I left I found out I had […]
I noticed a recent check in on the Rails timeline to the Continuous Builder plugin. DHH has added Campfire integration - so now you can get notified in real time chat about the chump who broke the build, and then proceed to mock them.
Peer pressure can be a powerful thing, so grab […]
It feels good to launch these new forums for Seeking Alpha. Its a modified Beast installation, with a bunch of hackery going on so it understands our old user system. Beast is a really great Rails forum, with a clean look and nice use of ajax done in under 500 lines of code […]
I subscribe to far too many feeds. I never catch up, and recently somehow blew away my entire “non-ruby programming blogs” folder in NetNewsWire, and didn’t really notice (or care).
That said, I think its important to keep up with the Ruby “blogs”, as kids call them these days, if only because things […]
Now that the sound and fury over Kevin’s post on the old and busted in Rails is calming down, we do have some nice constructive resources. One is Geoffrey’s Deprecated Plugin which greps your code for things like @params or render_partial. Very nice, and he’s going to rewrite it so its not dependant […]
A simple request. I want to be able to show line numbers in view source for Firefox. It already has the pretty syntax highlighting, and fifty thousand developer friendly extensions - where is the line number option for view source?
Jakob Nielsen nails a point that has been made by many others in his most recent column on newsletters. Most people don’t know what RSS is, even though they may already be using it via MyYahoo or some other portal. The typical user doesn’t know (or care) about RSS, HTML, CSS, or Ajax […]
Getting onblur and onfocus to attach to Iframes in IE and Firefox/Mozilla/Gecko…
