Mongrel woes today. I wrote a bash script to restart one of the mongrel procs in the cluster every hour http://pastie.caboo.se/110334 apparently mongrel/ruby leaks memory like a sieve.

It says at http://www2.arnes.si/~fkomar/xosl.org/ "If you're installing Linux, install LILO in the Linux partition's boot sector (superblock). You can safely ignore the warning that says you won't be able to boot Linux. XOSL can do the job."

Comment from area52 on So...98 is still there, added XOSL bootloader, then install Breezy Ubuntu with no, or grub floppy or Lilo or what? by to #twit 2 years, 1 month ago
why are you trying to use XOSL? Why not just use grub or lilo to boot Win 98?

Agreed. Registered a domain with them recently and the amount of up-selling they try and do is totally ridiculous, they are very cheap though.

Statistically, less than half the humans who have been born have died. So chances are you'll live forever.

E-Snail is a new technology Microsoft has developed that uses snails and rolled up bits of paper to deliver messages. Since there is a significant delay between the sending of a message and its arrival, it negates the problem of spam.

Well Andy Ihnatko sure is easily pleased. Considering the great apps that have already been made for the iPhone you would think Apple could do a little better than February 2008.

Comment from area52 on the sdk announcement must have really made Andy Ihnatko happy "all i want is for them to tell us their working on it" well you got you wish by to #twit 2 years, 1 month ago
Apple finally announced an SDK is coming for the iPhone & iPod touch. But it's to late, now it just looks like they caved to all the bad PR.

Watching http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/training/demos/rails.html it doesn't look like a bad IDE. But I don't see anything revolutionary.

I want to do foo, and to do foo, I need to find a way to do bar. But what I don't yet realize is that bar is the wrong way to go about solving foo.
