I compiled some resources for this on my blog. http://mattvanhorn.com/?p=87 I think Juan Valdez coffee on east 57th does free wifi with purchase, but I've...
... Not exactly a "laptop friendly coffee shop", but the McDonalds on 34 & 10th supposedly has free WiFi. Since it seems like most of its clientèle is cab...

What I found most useful was yelp.com. You can enter an address or zip code, search for coffee shops and you can check the "Free wi-fi" option. Not only does...
Thanks a lot of posting this suggestion - I have always been annoyed by the greedy bastards that keep trying to charge for wi-fi in any imaginable place. One...

Howdy Any opinions on running Passenger for production applications? Has anyone done this yet, or is everyone here still running the classic Nginx -> Mongrel...

Thanks everybody for the input. In general, the promise of having Apache manage instances of Rails is dreamy and seems easy and stable enough. Luke: Is your...

I would try again to use an explicit :controller, since that's what seems "suspicious". Also, try a "url_for" with the same parameters (i.e. {:action =>...

... It's a good practice to omit the catch-all rule and add explicit routes for whatever you need. Much easier to audit the app that way. Ryan Platte...
In your routes, get rid of your current two lines and use: map.resources :incidents, :collection => { :news => :get } rake routes will show that you get all...
