Interesting Things

• As mentioned in the 06/19/207 post, Rspec 1.0.6 fixed the Controller-exception-swallowing problem, but now you can’t call flash.stub!(:foo) — this throws an error.
• Check out Google Website Optimizer, which “helps online marketers increase visitor conversion rates and overall visitor satisfaction by continually testing different combinations of site content (text and images).”
• After some research we found that you can cache static web pages in memcache, at least with the Nginx web server, making this a very interesting component of a page caching strategy.
