WebMock 1.7 is out! Danny Burkes had written a gem/monkey-patch for previous versions of WebMock that allowed you to disable or enable it at will. The latest version of WebMock now includes such functionality, and fixes a bug with selenium-webdriver; Danny suggests upgrading WebMock over using his gem.

With all of the chaos on BART as of late, commuters headed to East Bay are in need of alternative transportation. Good news: you don’t have to rely on BART!

• The Alameda/Oakland Ferry leaves the Ferry Building periodically (here’s the schedule), and gets you to Oakland in 35 minutes. From there it’s easy to hop on BART and get home!
• AC Transit is proving to be equally reliable; the FS line leaves at 6 and 7pm and gets to Berkeley in 20 minutes, with a BART stop a short walk from there.
