Install instructions:
rails new myapp --skip-test-unit --skip-active-record

I'm always forgetting this. Yes, a quick google search reveals it, but I'd rather put it here as well:
gem install --http-proxy http://proxy:3128 rails
Trying out toggl for some work I am doing with two other people. It's ok, has some useful functionality, but it's not great. I don't like how the tasks are stuffed in a small panel over on the right. There is a timer here, which is a nice idea, but twice now I've left the timing running over night which means I just have to go back and estimate my times.
I think that basically it's just not simple enough – I spend too much time thinking about how to use it properly. I'll do a proper usability analysis on it sometime soon, but I think it's fulfilling the needs of the people who wrote it, but not fulfilling my needs.
Back to the ol' 37signals maxim of build it for yourself – I'll have to build one for myself (using rails 3.0 beta I think...)

Weird.
I just bought the beta pdf of Agile Web Development with Rails, Third Edition today while I was at Zendcon 2008. What does that tell you?
