Ruby on Rails and EJB

Google Trend has a nice comparison chart on RoR and EJB(Enterprise Java Beans).

Ruby 2.0 Features

Here goes verbatim text of an IRC conversation:

17:01 < branstrom> blink: Ruby 2.0 will make you coffee too
17:01 < ne78> will Ruby 2.0 cook my meal ?
17:01 < nome> ne78: no, but it will get you a gf who will
17:01 < ne78> nome: no thanks i already have one
17:01 < nome> ne78: this one will be able to cook

I can't wait for Ruby 2.0, coz i dont have a girlfriend and i am really sick of eating noodles.Time for a change guys. :)

Rock is back

Looks like good old days of Rock is back.The first half of this year saw many successful releases. Red Hot Chili Peppers released Stadium Arcadium, the album opened with #1 on US charts and #2 on UK charts. "Dani California" song is really good, the band portrays the history of rock through life of a girl. At 645/- it is a must buy for any Rock fan.The album features three CDz...probably it will take sometime before i can give proper review on this album.

Pearl Jam released their self-titled album "Pearl Jam".Probably this is the only surviving grunge band, that is still popular and haven't succumbed to the stupid demands of Music Studios.Did you know, once Kurt Cobain feared this band that it may become more popular than them. The album displays anger against establishment like all punk/grunge bands. "World Wide Suicide" is an attempt to use anti-war sentiment prevalent. Will checkout other tracks and comeback soon.

Godsmack released IV. Yup..just plain and simple IV. Yet another popular released, i guess opened as #1 on US charts. "Speak" and "Livin in Sin" are good.Sully Erna(lead) voice sounds cool.I mean the way..he sings slowly with fast music, truly amazes me.

Any missout guys? I am waiting for an Album from my favourite Radiohead and maybe if Linkin park will ever move their ass.

fcgid and Apache Rewrites

I am planning to write regular nice tutorials on rails..let's see if time permits to do that.

Whenever you are using any Alias directive to refer your Virtual Host root in Apache, make sure that you have a corresponding Rewrite rule set in .htaccess file.

Cookies and autologin in rails using login engine

Everyone seems to have and idea on what the heck are persistent cookies...but what happens when they stop working?

What happens when you need a more secure approach than encrypting username and password for autologin.I spend the night, finding answers to these small problems.
