There''s such a Mac-friendly group here, I thought I might get some guidance. I''m happily developing everything on my PowerBook, and loving it. Yeah, TextMate is way cool. But all my clients keep sending me copy in Microsoft Word format and the curly quotes, ellipses, dashes, etc. turn into question marks. This might be overreaching, but is there some way to open the Word

Hi to all, i''d like to insert a validation inside my model about a mac address field. I''ve used this sintax but it''s not working. validates_format_of :mac_address, :with => /^((?:[-a-f0-9])+(?:[-a-f0-9])+(?:[-a-f0-9])+(?:[-a-f0-9])+(?:[-a-f0-9])+(?:[-a-f0-9]))$/i, :on => :create,

Since upgrading to 1.1.3 on our dev box, we''ve started to see random routing errors with our apps running under Mongrel in production mode. The errors seem to go away after a while but come back everytime we restart the server. This may be a mongrel problem, it may be a rails problem (I''ve posted a bug on the trac) and I was wondering if anybody else had had similar
