Rails 2.3, cache_fu and the memcached...
Many Rails developers mistakenly assume that by installing defunkt’s cache_fu, Rails will be configured to use the settings found in the memcached.yml config YAML installed by the plugin. This was somehow true in earlier versions of Rails 2.*, but a couple of extra steps are required for 2.3.
Tim Connor’s branch has a commit that correctly sets the session_store config in Rails 2.3. ...

– The beauty of Git
git rebase master vs git merge master
dirtyhand: so, if im working on a branch and stuff in the master gets committed, when should I rebase vs doing a master merge into the branch?
mojombo: rebase is good for keeping local branches clean, but once they're pushed up, rebase is unwise
dirtyhand: what about Lighthouse reporting all github commits as being made by the account owner.
mojombo: we'll probably add the user level stuff to the LH integration before too long

12th Cylon
I was wrong, Laura Roslin wont be murdered, I can see that they are definitely trying to take out out of the picture so that Lee Adama can be the new president. She’s the 12th Cylon, its so obvious now. Like I said, there is no way she will ever step down, she either dies, or she will be revealed as the 12th Cylon.

Starting development of a new Rails plugin
I’ve been doing some contract work for Norbauer.com and we needed a home-brewed globalization plugin that met a client’s needs. I just purchased the Peepcode Plugin PDF and I’m planning on reading it tonight.. a fresh git branch is awaiting me.
Update: Book was awesome, would’ve been impossible to find all this info on the net. Stayed up till 5am last night coding away...

Battlestar Galactica season 4 theories
I think it’s pretty obvious now that they are setting up Lee Adama to be the new president. He’s already rejected his father’s invitation to rejoin the fleet, so he won’t be flying no Vipers again. He’s now got an entry level political job, its just a matter of TV time (5-6 episodes) before he’s ready to be a president. Roslin will be murdered. Why? She will...

Piston 1.9.2 woes
So last night I checked out the latest development version of Piston from Github, which supposedly now supports Git. I tried importing Rails edge into a fresh Git repository…and waited…waited some more, fell asleep, woke up and it still was where I left it. Then I realized that Francois had also disabled the rest of the commands. Back to 1.4.0 for me, i’ll post about Braid as...
