I came across this today when I added a parameter to a RJS page.redirect_to call.  It appears that prototype or rails is not properly handling the parameters when there are more than 2.  I got around it by using a defined route in the routes.rb that looks like this:

map.route_name 'controller_name/action_name/:foo_id', :controller => 'controller_name', :action => 'action_name'

I had to change the redirect_to in my RJS file from this:

page.redirect_to page_recrawl_path(:foo_id => @foo_id, :bar_id => @bar_id, :bang => true)

To this:

page.redirect_to page_recrawl_path(@foo_id, {:bar_id => @bar_id, :bang => true})

Thanks to the iPhone Dev-Team for releasing the Pwnage Tool 3.0, I was able to upgrade to the jailbroken 3.0 firmware. The install process went very smoothly. I followed a similar procedure to what they demo’d on their youtube video. Some of my favorite jailbroken apps don’t work with the new firmware. Here are my findings:

Apps

• Cycorder: Yes
• OpenSSH: Yes
• SBS Settings: Yes
• Icy: Yes
• Cydia: Stability issues
• PdaNet: Yes, but possible stability issues
• Winterboard: Mostly, some themes weren’t stable
• Pwnplayer: no
• Snapture: no
• NES: no

Overall the new 3.0 features were well worth upgrading. The only app I will really miss is Pwn player and I hope there will be a similar replacement (it’s no longer maintained).  As for the other apps, I’m sure they’ll be getting updates soon.  Please let me know what apps you have working.

Using workling and starling to handle background tasks is very nice. Check out this link for info on setting it up.  However, I encountered the error: “Mysql::Error: MySQL server has gone away” when accessing an external DB tables like users and roles.  I found that someone recommended using verify_active_connections!, however the table the connection error occurred on was a HABTM table ‘user_roles’. I found that verify_active_connections will use the scope of the model/object you invoke it on. So the final solution was to do the following:

user.roles.verify_active_connections!

This will make sure users, user_roles, and roles all have valid connections. This error occurred using rails 2.0.1. It may be fixed in newer versions of ActiveRecord.
