One thing that I did not like about working with the Nitrogen web framework is the way that view rendering is handled. Nitrogen calls the function main/0 in your web modules which, by convention, returns an instance of the template record. This record points to a template file that has HTML code with a little […]

I have been reading Practical Common Lisp and learning quite a lot in the process. However, I began to see a pattern emerging in the code that deals with objects that is also very common in Ruby. The pattern emerges where you have a class and you want to perform some initialization beyond what the […]

I have a Rails application with a small SOAP service that is used for integration. Today I updated the site to Edge Rails and noticed a ton of strange errors related to ActionWebService. The first error looked like this:
