Help:

Anyone have any IP Geolocation software recommendations?

• MaxMind provides downloadable databases and updates
• Google provides an api called google.loader.ClientLocation

Firebug binds up and forces me to restart Firefox when modifying CSS.

• Try Safari or Webkit. You can add css styles to a class on an element by editing an existing element, finishing the current style with a semi-colon, and declaring a new style.

Interesting:

• Optional params to a lambda: declare the lambda with *args and get warning free lambda to which you can pass no arguments.

class MyClass
  named_scope :in_progress, lambda { |*args| param = (args.empty? ? true : args.first); {:conditions => {:in_progress => param} }}
  #MyClass.in_progress           # < return all in progress records
  #MyClass.in_progress(false) # < return all non-in-progress records
  #MyClass.in_progress(true)  # < return all in-progress records
end

• Rubymine 2.0 RC2 is out. Release notes include better performance and reduced memory usage.

• Pivotal Labs will be a stop on the Startup Crawl during Rubyconf.
