Assembla to start charging for all private services

well I guess it had to happen sooner or later - Assembla to start charging for all private services

they do offer a great service and the fact that it has been free up until now has been really great!
I can understand why they need to start charging and it still seems very reasonable,

ActionView::TemplateError uninitialized constant

ActionView::TemplateError (uninitialized constant ActionView::Base::CompiledTemplates::Literals) on line #10 of ...

I just made a silly mistake which was generating this error; I have a Literals class in my Ruby on Rails application that has some strings stored as constants, everything was working great until I put this code on a server (Linux) didn't have any issues on the mac or windows machines before deploying

turned out to be so simple...
I originally named the file Literals.rb which defined the class Literals

the fix: rename Literals.rb to literals.rb

- doh!

GE Microwaves are junk

my GE Microwave worked great until the one year warranty was up, then it developed this really cool feature where the fan will not turn off - unless...

usually if I have the fan on and want to turn it off, I setting it to off (but it stays on) and then do a quick cook of 2 minutes, 8 out of 10 times this will turn off the fan when it finishes, other times it will turn if I do the 2 minute quick cook again - but that doesn't always work either...

sometimes I have to unplug the thing to turn off the fan, out of curiosity I googled 'GE Microwave fan' and came across this youtube video that pretty much tells the tale

Don't you just love quality products...
