Interesting Things
RubyMine 2.0.2, refactor => extract partial == FAIL. If you select multiple divs and perform extract partial, the selected region is removed, but only the first complete div is included in the new partial.
Rspec/Rubymine focused tests. Rubymine attempts to run focused tests using the
--example 'text'option. Rspec apparently finds the example group, and runs the examples that are directly a part of that example group, but does not include descendent example groups -- *which can lead you to think examples are passing that were not actually run*. Apparently this is fixed in rspec 2.

"Binding Click to Checkbox with Jquery"

"Why is there a new default for include_root_in_json for rails 3?"
Just curious.
"Fakeweb, Capybara w/Selenium Webdriver == end of file?"
Getting "end of file" failure on CI. There were a few suggestions:
- There is a fork of fakeweb that allows it to ignore localhost.
- Consider using Webmock instead of fakeweb.

"How do you test request headers? The request object is frozen..."
The team is using rspec to test an OAuth implementation and needs better access to the request object.
- Possibly modify the request environment prior to running the test -or-
- Instantiate a new, non-frozen request object.
