Handling move from Rails 2.2.2 to 2.3.2 version

As I preffer to work on virtual machines (by the way my personal choice is VMware) I used one of them while getting in touch with Rails. I had version 2.2.2 installed there.
Today I created a new VM for working with Rails and found out that 2.3.2 version of Rails appeared there as a result of installation. New version of Rails arrived :)
Unfortunally I was not able to run any of my demos :(

To fix this issue I started with change in "config/environment.rb" by updating
RAILS_GEM_VERSION = '2.2.2' unless defined? RAILS_GEM_VERSION
to
RAILS_GEM_VERSION = '2.3.2' unless defined? RAILS_GEM_VERSION
Then I had to run "rake rails:update".

Thats it. These two steps brought demos to life :)

Borland C++ 3.1

Today I needed to check some code in C++ and decided to use old good Borland C++ 3.11 just because it's fast to install it.
Unfortunatly I found out that my copy of it died together with my external drive :((
I must confess that it was not such an easy thing to find working download link on the web. But I found one at http://www.eni4ever.com/downloads.php?cat_id=1. This page also contains links to some old IDEs for other languages.

Blogger and Picasa are connected

Just discovered connection between Blogger and Picasa. I don't use Picasa to hold my photos. So when I navigated to Picasa on web from my Gmail account I was surprised to find out that I have four images in there.
After eximining what are these images I recognized images from my posts in Blogger. I didn't know about this kind of integration between Blogger and Picasa. Pretty interesting fact.
