Yeah! I heard part of the MMJ set on the radio too. Great treat for those of us who couldn't make it the showcases.

Dang, I didn't know they were broadcasting REM; I would've checked it. Off to see if they have a streamable archive version.

Don't forget to be kind to KUT at the next fund drive.

@rob: You can stream the older stuff if you go to sxsw.kut.org, there's a little streaming thing on that page.

Another thing you might want to check out are all the live shows in KUT studios this week, they're available for download in MP3 form. Sea Wolf today was great.

Thanks for the nice words, y'all. Cool to know people were listening to the live broadcasts this year. We're still putting up more vids, and other stuff we gathered so hope you get a chance to check out the site... All best, -David @ KUT

Jason Beghe Interview Upon Leaving Scientology

Yeah, Scientology is sure messed up. I love his voice and his attitude.

If we can come up with a brain biopsy that works while you're still alive we will become rich!

I Love Playing GTA IV

2008-06-05T11:29:14-05:00

I do love this game. Though I also feel compelled to take a shower after playing.

It's also probably a good idea to wait at least half an hour before driving after game play...

Your readers and I demand an update!

Most questions of a general nature can be answered by our automated...

I think it's not so much they don't realise the irony/stupidity of what they're saying; it's they just don't care. Couldn't be bothered.

I've pointed out such moronic statements to companies before (e.g. while reading terms in their T&C for instance, or in promos, etc) and their response is, "Oh, yeah, whatever."

Only in the Emergency Department at Massachusetts General Hospital,...

The most disturbing thing I have read in a long time!!!

My First Webpage Rocks

"Pretty alright" -- that's rich.

I looked at your source code for your linked web page and am very impressed. I would like to pay you $15 to write a guestbook CGI script for me. Interested?

I looked for myself on Google's old index, but had lackluster results. No worries, though, I've saved practically every web page I've ever made. Just took a walk down memory lane, which can be summarized thusly: "4.0 browser or better", "Clip art", "Made with a Mac".

You saved my ass...

We also host our website as a rails app on dreamhost and had the same error. After I manually updated rails in the vendor folder, everything worked again.

Oh yeah.. the mod_rails (passenger) checkbox was unchecked in my dreamhost control panel?!?! So I had to re-enable that. Don't know what they did.

Cheers

Thanks for your shameless plug Grant :p

Glad this helped you Rasmus, I was banging my head against a wall for a few hours with this one. It only made it worse that Dreamhost refused to help.

Seriously, I owe you one. This fix just saved my butt as well!

Thanks A TON!!!

Thanks a bunch, Justin. I was just warned about Dreamhost a few months ago and then I get burned by this yesterday while out of town. I've got one site I'm hosting for a client that I haven't wanted to move, but now, I'll work expeditiously at setting up a VPS, most likely with another company.

Thanks, this brought my site back up again. I've been meaning to move my rails apps to my Media Temple VPS for a while and i knew it would bite me..

Thanks for that - saved my ass on my 3 Dreamhost Rails sites too.

Tis a shame - makes me really think twice about using Rails for anything any more. Most of the sites I make are fairly low budget, so using a VPS isn't really an option. But why should I miss out on using all the good stuff Rails has to offer, simply because hosting it is either expensive or a pain?

Makes me think more and more about just using one of the PHP frameworks and having done with it - if only because then I can be pretty sure that sites will stay up. I quite like the look of Akelos framework (akelos.org), though haven't tried it yet.
