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!
ar_mailer and SMTP
Posted on February 06, 2007
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’.

Rails confuses MS Word
Posted on February 03, 2007
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.
