		<title>Blogubrious Retiring &#8212; Moving to Proccli</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m migrating all new blog entries to a new name/site: Proccli: Code Sprouts. 
I&#8217;ll try to keep on top of comments and such coming in here, but it will eventually start to decay (hopefully gracefully).

		<title>Ruby DSL for Apple Remotes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was curious about RubyCocoa and decided to play around a bit. I came across this article on rubycocoa.com about the apple remote and ruby. I got it working and boredom took over&#8230; so I decided to wrap it with a simple DSL. It seems pretty pointless, although switching OSX spaces with it was fun&#8230;
How [...]]]></description>

		<title>GitHub theme for SyntaxHighlighter Wordpress plugin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I did a very stupid thing. I automatically updated my syntaxhighlighter plugin (which is excellent by the way) through the wordpress admin panel. I also forgot that I had made a custom theme and added a few more matchers to the ruby brush, which were subsequently overwritten in the update. Bummer.
So. Here is the theme, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rails theme support with Metal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Metal is neat. Themes are neat. Together they are nifty. So, in the spirit of the upcoming St. Patrick&#8217;s day holiday I decided to play around with metal to add theme support to my rails app. I like how Wordpress supported themes by having meta data tucked into the stylesheet itself, and I also like [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rails Metal and ActiveRecord Sessions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was playing around in Rails 2.3 and wanted to mess with Metal for a very simple API. The release notes say that it supports sessions &#8212; and that may be true for memcache and cookie stores, but I couldn&#8217;t get it working with ActiveRecord.
I sniffed around and noticed that abstract stores aren&#8217;t getting loaded [...]]]></description>

		<title>Simple rails time based fragment caching with file store</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spent a little while this morning looking around for a rails fragment caching solution which used a file store and had simple expirations built in. No luck. I could just use a memory based cache store, but for this particular problem it was too much overhead to setup and manage. 

The features are:

You can [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rails 2.2 Custom Error Pages With Exception Loggable</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, with the release of Rails 2.2 and the ability to create custom error pages I figured I&#8217;d revisit my 404/500 pages and try to do it the new way.
Setting up the rescue_from methods were simple enough, but I noticed that when I was capturing my error 500s it wasn&#8217;t logging the exception. Here is [...]]]></description>

		<title>OSX, RubyGems and cross-thread violations in rb_gc</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently decided to migrate away from OSX&#8217;s default ruby install yesterday and noticed a few quirky hangups. Firstly, for some reason, and I&#8217;m not sure if it is just me or not, OSX&#8217;s default $PATH variable is putting /usr/local/bin AFTER /bin making your local installs not enabled by default. (Editing the /etc/paths didn&#8217;t do [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rails: Mocking YAML arrays as ActiveRecord objects</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been finding myself using YAML a lot for silly enums &#8212; maybe because I&#8217;m lazy, but mostly because there is no need to manage them via a database table. Here is just a simple example &#8212; I need to associate a region and division to a client. These will not change much and are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ruby on Rails Helpful Helpers: Content Tags</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another common thing I like to do is use a helper method to handle tricky tag-soupish markup. A client may have 1 URL, in which case I would like to simply display it, but if they have multiple URLs I&#8217;d like to put it in a list format. The only problem with using the content_tag [...]]]></description>
