Has anyone received their invite yet?

$ curl -d "<status>...</status>" -X POST http://localhost:3000/statuses.xml

the InvalidAuthenticityToken error is raised.  The problem stems from an incorrect content type.  If you force the content type in the header:

$ curl -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -d "<status>...</status>" -X POST http://localhost:3000/statuses.xml

everything works as expected. This turns out to be a gotcha since GET requests don’t need the header.

Several weeks?  Really!

Since the submission, it appears Yahoo is doing their best to meet their goal of several weeks.

Looks like Google like Netflix know how to handle customer service.  If only the second worst cell phone company would do the same.

With the move to 64 bit, my older 32-bit version of MySQL was moved to /usr/local/mysql-5.0.45-osx10.4-i686.  Grabbed the latest and installed the 64-bit version.  You may want to skip the preferences pane since it runs in 32-bit and causes the System Preferences to reload each time.

Macports needed a fresh install as well.  After that I needed to clean out the old builds with:

$ sudo port -f uninstall installed

This wiped everything out and I needed to reinstall my ports. As expected my gems were in need of help as well.  Although most were resolved with the following:

$ sudo gem update

the MySQL gem needed some help finding it’s cousins:

$ sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config

Finally, Mongrel decided to hang during the startup and WEBrick as no better.  Had to grab Thin.  Worked like a champ.  Note to self: need to switch to Passenger for development.

I’m sure I’m missing a few things, but right now, most things seem to be working.  I’ll update this post if I find anything else.

Update: Mongrel can be fixed by uninstalling mongrel and fast thread and reinstalling mongrel:

$ sudo gem uninstall mongrel fastthread
$ sudo gem install mongrel

To get things working again, just update net-ssh:

$ sudo gem update net-ssh
Updating installed gems
Updating net-ssh
Successfully installed net-ssh-2.0.15
Gems updated: net-ssh

Deployments work like a charm.

• The earphone jack stopped working, phone replaced
• The battery would not hold a charge, phone replaced
• The camera would only take blurry pictures, phone replaced
• The battery would not hold a charge, phone replaced
• The phone continually docks, pending

These are the first generation phones and I’m glad we purchased the warranty before our expiration period.  Although they are very good about giving a replacement, I would much prefer to have the phone last longer.  My old Nokia was indestructable.  You could use it as a hockey puck and it kept working.  It was also a very simple device.  It only made calls.  It was a phone, nothing more.

If you get this error, you will need to update MacPorts.  This is accomplished by the following command:

You can then install rsync which is needed for git.  To finish the git installation, run:

If you have a problem with m755 and make, just run the command again.  It will work.

Update: I just found a Mac installer of git, but I have not tried it.  You can get it here.

Before I started the upgrade I thought the chances this would be successful was next to zero.  So I did it anyways.  I started thinking why.  I really don’t need the new features right now.  Was I bored with nothing to do?

It was the sheer desire to have the newest and latest.  Even if it was exactily the same thing.  Afterall this upgrade didn’t cost my any money.  It was a download I was entitled to being a current customer.  It was free.  And being free it was an easy decision.  However, if there was a fee would I have been so eager?

Well, I don’t have the iPhone 3G just yet….
