Recently, NetBeans was not able to start up Mongrel automatically from a Rails project. I had to open up a console and manually start “script/server” - not what I expect when using an IDE.
I thought it was because of Rails 2.3.x - unsupported by Netbeans as I suspected.The actual reason behind it was the update to Ruby 1.8.7 in Snow Leopard!
Make sure to give that info to Netbeans via the “TOOLS” -> “RUBY PLATFORMS” window. Just delete your old Ruby record from the list left (don’t delete JRuby, though) and click the “AUTODETECT” button (red circled below):

After that, you’ll see the new Ruby 1.8.7 (see screenshot below). Click “Close” and voilá!

This is some news from the WWDC - prolly the most important for the web designers and the professional windows users:
Safari, Apple’s (former only Mac OS X) web browser, is available for Microsoft Windows XP and Vista!

It’s still a beta, but feature-complete… I immediatly restarted to Windows XP to give it a try - it works … okay…., fonts look smoother and more “anti-aliased” then with Firefox or IE7. Some sites don’t show text where it’s expected - hey, it’s a beta (see screenshots).
So in future, I don’t have to miss my favourite browser when I’m using windows (not a lot though)!

Oh, and: Of course the release of Sarafi 3 for Windows also means an update for Mac OS X Tiger!

I’ve put are some screenshots on Flickr… Some compare sites with IE7, one shows a youtube-video and… the successfull Acid2-Test in Safari !

And I’m very prod that the German Mac-online-magazine “MacNews” featured my screenshots
