		<title>Rails&#8217; symbols for HTTP status codes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is more of a personal reference than anything ground-breaking. I found this in a comment to the render method on ApiDock. Some pretty bad wording there, anyone with a who &#124; grep -i blonde &#124; date; cd ~; unzip; touch; strip; finger; mount; gasp; yes; uptime; umount; sleep like comment? 100 = :continue 101 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vivaldi&#8217;s Four Seasons for free?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was surprised to see the wikipedia page for Vivaldi&#8217;s Four Seasons to have freely available Ogg/Vorbis files. I know I could have downloaded them all manually, yes. However, I thought it to be a good evening sport to write a small script that downloads it for me and converts the OGG files (not much [...]]]></description>

		<title>assert_select from string</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ActionController::TestCase provides assert_select to check for specific contents of views in a Rails project. It&#8217;s also a nice way to test view helpers with somewhat more complex HTML output (ie. nested nodes by multiple calls to content_tag). There is a nice and short article by Erik Ostrom that explains how to do that without the [...]]]></description>

		<title>HAProxy, X-HTTP-Forwarded-For, Rails and exposed exceptions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(A german version is available at the kaupert media gmbh website) We use HAProxy as the frontend to forward incoming requests to Apache+Passenger instances on our webservers at berlin.kauperts.de. Problems arose on the HAProxy machine itself which was also (intentionally) forwarding requests to a locally running Apache: despite using the forward_for option for the configured [...]]]></description>

		<title>amatch gem on Ubuntu 10.4 x64_86</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Setting up a new server, I&#8217;ve run into another gem building problem (similar to a problem with the mysql gem on a Centos 5.2 system a while back). The amatch gem fails to build its native part on a 64bit Ubuntu, terminating with: /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/amatch-0.2.5/lib/amatch.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 - /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/amatch-0.2.5/lib/amatch.so As the &#8220;ELFCLASS32&#8243; bit in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Introducing AR Sitemapper, a plugin for Ruby on Rails</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have just published a Rails plugin to conveniently build XML sitemaps directly from an ActiveRecord model. It aims to be flexible and as low-level as possible. To add it to your Rails project, type: $ ruby script/plugin install git://github.com/carpodaster/ar_sitemapper.git A simple usage example to create a gzip&#8217;ed xml sitemap for a fictious model &#8220;Post&#8221;: [...]]]></description>

		<title>Confirmed revisions for vestal_versions 1.0.x</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Laserlemon&#8217;s vestal_versions gem brought a few nice additions in its recent update to 1.0.x, most prominent for me was the ability to track user data (either a simple string or a reference to an arbitrary user object). I&#8217;m always keen to add even more QM measures to the main application I am working on at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Linkspopulismus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ich habe nie verstanden, warum gute Zeitungen nicht im ÖPNV-verträglichen Format kommen. Vielleicht offerieren die S- und U-Bahnen im süddeutschen Raum etwas mehr Platz für den Fahrgast, aber ich habe da noch Zweifel. Nicht zuletzt aus diesem Grund habe ich in der Vergangenheit immer wieder versucht, mich mit der taz anzufreunden – warm geworden bin [...]]]></description>

		<title>Postage for (secure) emails</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I received an email from Thawte, (potentially) self-proclaimed globally leading authority for SSL certificates, informing me that their free email certificate program will be discontinued in about a month&#8217;s time. Verisign (which bought Thawte about a decade ago) offers current users of the Thawte Personal E-mail Certificates program to get a year free which [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trauer um Grundrechte</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Zensursula&#8220;. Eine originelle und treffende Zusammenfassung, die ich letzte Woche auf einem Umzugswagen einer 1. Mai Demonstration gesehen habe. Und gestern spazierte ich auf dem Weg zur S-Bahn an einem Trauerplakat vorbei, das dank Photohandy hier auch Nicht-Berlinern nicht vorenthalten bleiben soll. Der Hintergrund: hinter dem Vorwand des Schutzes vor Kinderpornographie (von Bekämpfung kann man [...]]]></description>
