Sendmail, semicolons and new lines
I know the tile doesn't sound very Ruby-related but please bear with me!

All works fine until I try t... 4 May 2010 19:03

Upgrading a socket to an SSLSocket
Is it possible to 'upgrade' a normal socket to an SSL socket.

Setting to Ruby 1.9 in Ubuntu...
I tried installing a bunch of ruby 1.9 stuff on my Ubuntu laptop last night, but my default ruby is still 1.8.7. Anybody know a regular method for setting to 1.9 on Ubuntu?

I have learned from experience to avoid reading files using File.read(filename)... it gives terrible performance on even moderately large files. Reading large files line by line is much faster, and uses much less memory. However, there are c... 1 May 2010 05:28
