uninitialized constant RubiGen
If you see this error when generating resources in Rails (I’m on 2.1), you probably have the 0.9.9 version of SproutCore installed. Uninstall it completely, and reinstall version 0.9.10 (or later; I’m on 0.9.11) to correct the issue.

mod_rails (aka Passenger)
Wow. Except for the config issues previously mentioned, switching from Mongrel to mod_rails took all of 5 mins.
Note to self: Passenger Install
If Passenger balks on install, you might have to set some variables:
export APXS2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs
export APR_CONFIG=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apr-1-config

Babelizer
http://www.mrfeinberg.com/babelizer/
“…type in a phrase, choose a language, and the Babelizer uses the Altavista translation web site to translate between English and your chosen language until the result no longer mutates.”
Not to be confused with the old work-horse software Debabelizer.

It’s unlikely that many, if any CMOs read this tiny little tumblelog, but if you’re a tech, and you need to explain social media again, and again, check out this post from Alisa Leonard.

Apple WWDC - June 2008
60-ish minutes into the ‘08 Apple WWDC, and I’m totally bored. Will update if something exciting occurs.
2:05-ish. Steve is back on stage. Bulk delete and move. Finally!
3G and GPS as expected. Black and white models. 16gb is $299, 8gb is $199. Yawn.

Note to self: Don't use table in remote_form_for
I haven’t dug into the Rails source code yet to find out why, but when using remote_form_for, don’t use tables for layout; the request will fail with an authenticity error. Yeah, yeah, I know, why am I using a table instead of a div/css? Why? Simply because it was a quick & easy hack, that’s why.
And no, I haven’t learned my lesson.

Uncountable Names in RESTful Routes
http://somethinglearned.com/articles/2007/03/19/how-to-uncountable-names-in-r...
While trying to create a “home” route in my Rails app, I encountered an ‘ActionController::RoutingError: home_url failed to generate from {:controller=>”home”, :action=>”show”} - you may have ambiguous routes, or you may…blah…blah…blah’
It turns out that if your route is uncountable, Rails will call a member URL (hence ‘show’) instead of the collection URL (i.e., ‘index’).
Trevor at ‘Something Learned’ had the solution:
# routes.rb
map.resources :home, :singular => :home_instance
Thanks Trevor!
