I tried the latest shoulda on luvfoo a while back and it died on the internationalization stuff so we gave up. Turns out that with the new internationalization in Rails 2.2.2 shoulda is dying again. I know the code is free and shoulda really is a great project, but I think this shows why you…

The binding argument of #concat is no longer needed
If you upgrade to Rails 2.2.2 and start getting “The binding argument of #concat is no longer needed” then wherever you do something like this: concat(content, block.binding) </pre> change it to this: concat(content) </pre> The ‘block.binding’ argument is no longer needed which is nice because who really wanted to type that over and over again…
So I am a Big Geek
I had to reboot the server in my office closet this evening. That’s when I realized that I am a really big nerd. I have a server in my closet with RAID 5 to backup the other computers in the house. I have so many now that I actually have to count them to remember…
Maybe I Should be a Computer Tech
My wife’s computer finally died. I mean really died. For about ten minutes I could push the power button and it would just barely turn on and then it would immediately shut down. Then it stopped turning on all together. It is an old Dell Dimension 8400. There are two things that can go wrong…

Thanks Expercom
I bought an STM bag about a week ago and took it on one trip. When I got back the shoulder strap had a huge tear in it. I’m not especially rough on bags. I basically carried the thing around. The first time I called Expercom they told me that I needed to work it…

STM Bags Suck?
I am hoping this is an isolated instance. I went on a business trip this last week to Chicago. I didn’t have a laptop case so on Monday I rushed down to Expercom to buy something. They sell STM brand bags. The ‘medium alley’ bag looked decent so I picked one up. One day into…
New Apple Laptops – I’m so Excited
I’ve been wanting to buy a Macbook pro for a while now. I hate to be yet another one of those Apple nuts but I have been waiting for Oct 14 ever since the rumor came out that Apple would be announcing new laptops on that date. Since they hadn’t said anything I was getting…
