Ruby on Rails, C#, .NET, book reviews, film reviews, mind hacks, Wing Chun and the occasional personal bit. Tuesday, February 27, 2007. Recently got a JRuby/Rails system with Java integration up and running. Unfortunately, it took quite a few hours, as most of the docs and code you find through Google are out of date. If you use JRuby 0.9.2 from Codehaus, you will get an error similar to this when you try to access a rails application:. ArgumentError: Anonymous modules have no name to be referenced by.

The mango liqueur started about a month ago. Has now reached fruition. After filtering with cheese cloth, and adding a little sugar (much less than a cup), it is quite tasty. It should improve further as it ages over the next month or so, assuming it lasts that long :-). Tuesday, March 27, 2007. Starting at ThoughtWorks: First Five Weeks. When you...

What VPS / cloud instance provider gives you the best bang for buck for a small linux server? Here is the script:.
