If you are a Yammer user, you probably already know that Gwibber doesn’t have support quite yet for it, and the Linux version of Yammer hangs, or crashes, when you login or attempt to post.

Since I need Yammer on a daily basis for communication with co-workers about deployments and such, I needed to find a way to get this working under Linux.

The solution, wine.

To get this going, first download the Windows 32-bit Adobe AIR installer and install. Once that’s complete, download the Yammer AIR client (Yammer.air), and navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe Air\VERSIONNUMBER\ and run Adobe AIR Application Installer. Select the Yammer.air file, install, and you are good to go. Works flawlessly.

Mongo, Mongo_Mapper and Mongo_Session_Store in Rails 3

In getting this to work, I had to figure out just the right sequence and requirements in my Gemfile. Here it is for everyone:

# Rails gem 'rails', "3.0.0"  # Mongo gem 'mongo' gem 'bson_ext' gem 'mongo_mapper-rails3', :require => 'mongo_mapper' gem 'mongo_session_store', :git => 'git://github.com/nmerouze/mongo_session_store.git'

Authlogic in Rails 3

In the process of hacking authlogic to work with rails 3, I discovered a little gem that I thought I’d pass along:

It appears that the activerecord key method, which returns a primary key for a specific object, has been renamed to to_key, so the code needs to be adjusted accordingly:

http://github.com/cmeiklejohn/authlogic/commit/749c46c

1 2 3

def to_key

new_record? ? nil : [self.send(self.class.primary_key)]

end

Here’s my mostly working port — authentication works, but the generators are broken. Should be sufficient for getting authlogic running on an existing rails 2 app you are porting to rails 3, just not a new app: http://github.com/cmeiklejohn/authlogic
