Interesting Things

• There’s an IE PNG transparency bug
  fix as a plugin for jQuery.
  It looks fairly complete, with more coverage than many others out there and the usage is trivial (once installed):

  <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
      $(document).pngFix();
    });
  </script>
  

  The major downside so far: it scales background images.

• Rails Bug:

  In a failing/rolled back transaction, those ActiveRecord
  objects that were created prior to the exception still have IDs and respond
  false to object_name.new_record? (which would seem to indicate that a record for the object has been saved).

  For more info, here are a couple bug tickets.
