Github drinkups + something called ‘the bomb’

How much more information is necessary? I think that the total number of solid new connections I’ve made is a resounding zero. The faltering aquaintances can be counted on one hand.

The depth of joy and personal happiness? Boundless.

Plus I got to reconnect with @richardiux and @jpsilvashy, two gentileman of inestimable value.

I highly recommend github drinkups.

Sleep would be nice

It is extremely difficult to get a detailed understanding of NSError after two weeks of 6 hour sleep increments.

Just sayin.

fix theme, or fix memory leak?

Hmmmm… tough call. The free wordpress themes out there are all… overused. Definitely need to customize one or build one out from scratch. On the other hand, I discovered a memory leak in the most recent edits to my iPhone application while on BART this evening.

It’s a sneaky one, too… not sure if it has something to do with the fact that I’m subclassing UITabBarController, whereas most sample implementations I’ve seen out there just create an instance of the base class. Maybe it’s assuming that I’m going to release some object that I haven’t noticed yet? Or, more likely it’s something in my code.

This is a job for… tomorrow.

passenger, GEM_HOME

Right. Big thing that I forgot. When I set up passenger on leopard, I had to run through a script that wraps ruby, so that I could import environment variables and such that otherwise get lost when passenger is started by apache.

#!/bin/bash
 
source /Users/sax/.bash_profile
exec "/usr/bin/ruby" "$@"

Then I use the PassengerRuby directive in the passenger section of my apache configuration.
