I'll be consuming copious amount of (free) beer and (free) pizza tonight at the London Pizza on Rails get-together tonight, gabbing about our beloved Ruby and Rails, and also telling you a bit about the much-talked-about launch of Cominded's first product!
Join us! Did I mention the beer is free?
If you're in or around London, why not come along to Pizza on Rails on Tuesday 10th July for free pizza, beer and books!
It's a great chance to for anyone working in or interested in Rails in London to get together and talk geeky stuff for the evening. This time I'm going to do a brief talk about my book and give away a bunch of copies (how we decided who gets them is yet to be decided - time to think up some dorky competitions!).
Sign up at the Pizza on Rails website. Hope to see you there!
I'm heading along to Pizza on Rails tonight in London. It's always good fun and it's great to spend a few hours totally geeking out about Ruby and Rails with a very interesting group of folks.
And hey, there's free pizza! w00t!
Arg. Just spent far too long going around in circles before hitting the d’oh! moment and spotting the problem.
ar_mailer is a great little library for Rails ActionMailer, allowing you to queue all outgoing emails to a database then use a sendmail-like app to process that queue at will. Nice. The book talks about it.
But actually processing the emails with ar_sendmail fails. Turns out that different folks have different ideas of what the Rails SMTP config should look like. Rails wants ‘user_name’ and ar_sendmail wants ‘user’.

While spell checking a chapter of the book, MS Word (aaarrrghhh) suddenly decided to suddenly change into to French mode and gave me a useful suggestion to correct the grammar of my Rails code.
Huh?
Anyway, the book is coming along and it looks like we now have a (temporary) cover! Weee! I guess that means I have to get a move on and finish writing it.
