Minor Gotcha with ActiveRecord query methods

Stumbled upon a gotcha with the ActiveRecord query methods you get for free, along side the normal attribute accessor methods.

Yall gonna go update some code, up in here, up ‘n here!”

BrainBuster 0.7 released

BrainBuster is a logic captcha plugin for Ruby on Rails. The 0.7 release has been completely overhauled to have a much less obtrusive approach using only filters, instead of requiring code changes to actions. It also features enhanced security, tests (!), and overall goodness.

Google Browser Sync, why do you torment me so?

I've been using Google Browser Sync for a while now to sync bookmarks across any machine I use. Actually, I only use it to sync my bookmark toolbar, as I use delicious for any sort of "normal" bookmark. I think I use the bookmark drop down menu maybe once a month, but I [...]
