Januari 28 will be the day of the first gathering of the Amsterdam’s Ruby User Group. I’d like to be there but due to the fact that at that time my wife will be over 40 weeks pregnant… I just wont…
Still, I think it’s a great idea and will certainly be joining future gatherings! For […]
Today I was fiddling with Rails to create a simple web UI on top of some REST services. Therefor I didn't really need (or is it really didn't need) a database server.

The small Rails app which I wrote for my wife broke down completely just after the installation of the new version of Rails (the 'mandatory' 1.1.5 and 1.1.6) by Dreamhost.
Couldn't get it to work at all, and no sensible logging info was produced...
