After being a happy Xen user for several years now, I’ve recently had to switch to an alternative virtualization solution. My colleague Arun (@iamclovin) actually struggled for a week with Xen VMs that locked up on [...]

A curl-ier Curb – better cookie support in Curb

In: Open Source| Ruby

18 Jun 2009

As of Curb 0.3.7, Curb comes with slightly better cookie support that makes it more “curl-like”.

In: Edge Rails| Open Source| Ruby| Ruby on Rails

It’s another slow week (just 2 changes of note imho) after the release of the 1st Release Candidate (RC1) of Rails 2.1.
