.. I have one nice idea for an iPhone app so.. hm… maybe I'll refresh (re-learn?) my ObjC .. but I don't really have time to spare as it stands now. Oh well.. we'll see :)

I started getting weird

(eval):2:in `protect_against_forgery?'

error from one of my Rails2-based system today. Mongrels were seg-faulting as well. The problem was quite unexpected as I have not touched the code for a while!

Turned out the problem was with the latest upgrade to ruby 1.8.6 patch level 230 (which is recommended by the Ruby on Rails site). And looks like this was the only system re-deployed (and restarted under new ruby version) since I have upgraded.

Now I'm back to p111, "vulnerable", but at least working version until problems sort themselves out.

Until they do, do not upgrade!

UPDATE:

Looks like the is a patch which addresses vulnerabilities which patch 230 addressed in turn. Check here for details. However, I'll just stick here for a couple of days for a real fix from the Ruby team.

Having something like this

Wouldn't it be cool if you could creating something like this?

All in real-time, in your Ruby on Rails project, using RMagick.

Hold on because I'll show you how. (more…)

.. not that it was officially taking them, but local Softbank shops everywhere were already taking pre-orders.

I called one of the Softbank shops in the afternoon today and asked if I can pre-order my iPhone and was told "yes". When I finally  got to the shop the evening, there were taking the huge "TAKING IPHONE PRE-ORDERS" banners off the front glass. Told me they received a call from the head office ordering to cancel pre-orders.

(taking pre-orders of iPhon..)

(taking pre-orders of iPho…)

And still no tariff plans, no even info on how exactly iPhone will be sold (could be either real Softbank or virtual operator, which will be Apple).. Softbank is a mess :)

(iPhone will be sold starting July 11, via Softbank. Pricing yet unknown)

Go Apple go! Show these Sharps and Toshibas how to create a really useful stuff, not the feature-ridden, hardly usable locked to death junk they're producing :D

Moon is really just a big chunk of cheese in the sky…

Updated software of my TV set today.. Over 100Mbit/s unlimited optical line.. The TV asked to reboot itself.. Nothing special, I guess, but I looked at the process in perspective of last 10 years. Things changed.
