Turns out there is an issue in Rails 2.3.2: https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/2263-rails-232-breaks-implicit-multipart-actionmailer-tests. For now I’m just setting my emails to html,…

Ruby gems and “Couldn’t get release_id, upload failed?”

Posted on May 30, 2009November 1, 2021

I’ve been experimenting with Ruby gems over the past few weeks. I use a couple of other gems to make the process easier including rubyforge, jeweler and newgem. Jeweler has a rake task ‘rubyforge:release’ that uploads your gem for you. The problem was that it would timeout and give me “Couldn’t get release_id, upload failed?”….

Dude, it’s 420

Posted on April 20, 2009November 1, 2021

Today is 4/20. That is significant for two reasons. One is that it is my parent’s wedding anniversary. My dad likes to get license plates with significant numbers. For years the plate on our van was 11111. Later it was 1701 (any Star Trek fans recognize that number?). When my parents got a new car…

Posted on January 26, 2009November 1, 2021

It’s snowing in Logan again and so in my current tradition of posting house plans that I would build if the economy didn’t suck and if I had lots of money I am submitting to you this european style house plan that looks cool in the snow: european style house plan in the snow

Snow and Rain

Posted on January 8, 2009November 1, 2021

I just manged to get the kids in bed. It’s 9:00pm. I started at 6:30. I’m sitting here watching the rain letting my brain idle for a few moments until I get back into write code. It’s a bit odd that its raining given that it is January. Over the Christmas break we received treacherous…
