Ruby 2.0 CA cert issue fix
# If you're having cert issues on ruby 2.0.0-p0, the issue is most likely that ruby can't
# find the required intermediate certificates. If you built it via rbenv/ruby-build, then
# the certs are already on your system, just not where ruby expects them to be.
# When ruby-build installs openssl, it installs the CA certs here:
~/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p0/openssl/ssl/cacert.pem
# Ruby is expecting them here:
$(ruby -ropenssl -e 'puts OpenSSL::X509::DEFAULT_CERT_FILE')
# Which for me, is this path:

River (getriver.com): Keep a programming journal.

One of my favorite past times is to look at the notebooks of famous scientists. Da Vinci's notebook is well known, but there plenty others. Worshipping Da Vinci like no other, I bought a Think/Create/Record journal, used it mostly to keep jot down random thoughts and take notes. This was great in the beginning, but the conformity of lines drove me nuts. Only moleskines made blank notebooks, so I had to buy one.

At the same time I started a freelance project. The project itself is irrelevant, but suffice to say it was very complex and spanned several months. It seemed like a perfect opportunity to use the moleskine. Looking back, all my entries fell under few categories:

  • Todo
  • Question
  • Thought
  • Bug
  • Feature
