Effit. Rails.cache is getting to screwy and doing some weird shit. Going back to using MemCache.new
03/20/2010 @ 01:29PM: write
I've setup memcache as my Rails cache store, but for some reason when I do a fetch it goes through MemoryStore#write which freezes the obj.
03/20/2010 @ 11:47AM:
Anybody know why I'm getting "can't modify frozen hash" when trying to update the attributes of an object pulled from memcache?

I'm really getting tired of these advertisements that push the whole page down. Worse than popups IMO.

Awesome, I just found connosr, a whisky social network. I've been thinking about starting something similar, but this is very well done.

Looks like the answer is, don't use the "compare encoded mailers" method anymore.
01/22/2010 @ 03:23PM:
My ActionMailer unit test is failing all of the sudden because the Outcome has a Date header on it but the Expected does not. Any Ideas?

Anyone using JSP's for JSF I HIGHLY recommend switching to Facelets. Cleaner HTML and components are so so so much easier to write.

Oh yeah! Rock'n some GnR at the dealership.

Why is it that I have to make an appointment to take my truck in for service at the dealership, and it still takes over an hour. Brilliant.

If home builders could use agile they would. It's a lot easier to refactor than it is to tear down walls.
11/05/2009 @ 02:43PM:
"You wouldn't build a building without a detailed blueprint". Yeah, but I'm not building a home, I'm writing software.
11/05/2009 @ 02:42PM:
Why does everyone compare software engineering to building engineering?
11/05/2009 @ 11:19AM:
