			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I got a request from WineAlign today to allow a user to register with an email address with only one character in the name like &#8220;m@wibblz.com&#8221;.  Now I&#8217;m going to admit, I haven&#8217;t tested using just one character before.  Sure enough it was failing.  I am using the EmailVeracity gem to validate my mail which is working pretty well and it is very easy to tweak to your needs.  First I located the problem, it was the regex that was validating the format of the email address.  I took the following regex </p>
<pre class="ruby">
/\A(([\w]+[\w\+_\-\.]+[\+_\-\.]{0})@((?:[-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,})){1}\Z/i
</pre>
<p> over to <a href="http://www.rubular.com" target="_blank">rubular.com</a> and started testing.  It was a quick tweak to the regex and I ended up with this.</p>
<pre class="ruby">
/\A(([\w]+[\w\+_\-\.]*[\+_\-\.]{0})@((?:[-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,})){1}\Z/i
</pre>
<p>All I needed to do was then update the gem itself.  Easy!  In a config initializer throw in this one line and restart!</p>
<pre class="ruby">EmailVeracity::Config[:valid_pattern] = /\A(([\w]+[\w\+_\-\.]*[\+_\-\.]{0})@((?:[-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,})){1}\Z/i</pre>
<p>Great!!  WineAlign is now accepting email address like &#8220;m@wibblz.com&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you need email as if it was sugar to a diabetic?  I sure do.  That&#8217;s why I&#8217;ve got my crackberry for when I&#8217;m on the go or just away from my mac.  When I am at my mac, I&#8217;ve been relying on Google Notifier to tell me when I have new mail.  It would check every 3-8 minutes which drove me crazy until today.  I&#8217;ve got it checking now every minute by using a SUPER simple fix I found via a <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/Gmail-Help-Message-Delivery-en/browse_thread/thread/54d0fb72c58ca79c/46d1a3de371d247e?hl=en&amp;q=Notifier&amp;lnk=ol&amp;pli=1">Google Groups discussion</a>.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll give you the steps to make it easy for you.</p>
<ol>
<li>Click on you Google Notifier</li>
<li>Press Option + Command together</li>
<li>Click on preferences, if  a new window appreared with two fields in it, you did it correct.</li>
<li>In the &#8220;Key&#8221; field, type &#8220;AutocheckInterval&#8221;</li>
<li>In the &#8220;Value&#8221; field, type a number 1&#8230;60, I would like it updated every minute so I put in &#8220;1&#8243;</li>
<li>Click &#8220;Set&#8221;</li>
<li>Quit Google Notifier by pressing Command + Q</li>
<li>Open Google Notifier</li>
</ol>
<p>There you go.  All the steps you need to have Google Notifier update every minute or as frequently as you&#8217;d like.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These are my personal test results for the JavaScript <a href="http://v8.googlecode.com/svn/data/benchmarks/v4/run.html">V8 Benchmark Suite</a> (the higher the score the better).</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>148 - </strong><strong>FireFox</strong> 3.0.10 on OS X<strong></strong></li>
<li><strong>1,265 - </strong><strong>Safari 4</strong> Public Beta (5528.16) on OS X</li>
<li><strong>779 - </strong><strong>Google Chrome</strong> 1.0.145.59 on Windows XP SP3<strong></strong></li>
<li><strong>21.5 - </strong><strong>Internet Explorer 7</strong> on Windows XP SP3 (After getting the infamous &#8220;Not Responding&#8221; for a few minutes)</li>
</ul>
<p>Again another reason to love Internet Explorer is that it handles JavaScript so well (I&#8217;m kidding).  Wow Safari, knocking it out of the park there.  Can&#8217;t wait to test this on the next realease of Google Chrome.  I have a feeling it will even surpass Safari 4.</p>
