Those people should just be pushed off a cliff. John Siracusa ( ATP episode 64. Managed to wire up my DIY stir plate circuitry correctly!

My Ahma Ale has been bottled! My favourite books of 2013. In 2013 I finally started using Goodreads. To track the books I read. In total I read 53 books. And I’ve listed a few of my favourites below. The Company of the Dead (by David Kowalski). Can one man save the Titanic? March 1912. A mysterious man appears aboard the Titanic on its doomed voyage. His mission? To save the ship. A world where the United States never entered World War I, thus launching the secret history of the 20th Century. Marcus, a&#...

Bad Tidings

http://www.randomerrata.com/articles/2015/bad-tidings

Is a beer made from a bunch of leftover malts I had accumulated. I decided to try for a Belgian style beer largely because the Belgians seem to have a pretty relaxed attitude about what adjuncts they use, plus it gave me a chance to try out the Fermentis T-58 (PDF link). I chose the name Bad Tidings because I wanted to invoke a certain sense of dread or foreboding with the name (as it was unsure whether the beer would turn out to be any good at all).

Using MockSMTP or MailCatcher only if it's running (with Ruby on Rails). 8,99) and MailCatcher. Open-source) are great tools when you’re trying to debug emails, but not everyone on your team necessarily has one of them installed (or maybe you just don’t have one of them running constantly). Using MailCatcher or MockSMTP conditionally in development is actually pretty easy and only requires you to add a few lines of code to your. Try to sniff out if MockSMTP or MailCatcher is running.

Since there seems to be a bunch of homebrew gift lists floating around, I thought I might as well publish my own little list. These are books and other items that I want, not necessarily things that, for example, a novice brewer really needs. In fact, these might not be things I need. As much as things I’d quite like to have. Is an affordable and highly praised digital refractometer. It can measure gravity from 0 Bx to 85 Bx (about 1.000 to 1.438. And has automatic temperature correction. Brew Like a Mon...

The Summoning Dark

http://www.randomerrata.com/articles/2015/the-summoning-dark

Is my first Black IPA, it’s named after a character in Thud! A book by Terry Pratchett (if you can call a pan-dimensional creature and spirit of vengeance a character). For the main graphic of the label I used the mine sign rune for the Summoning Dark (described in the book as a floating eyeball with a curly tail ). The beer name itself is in a rune-like typeface. The labels are stamped with my brewery stamp. My deranged ramblings about technology, programming, and whatever pops into my head.

An improved email address validator

http://www.randomerrata.com/articles/2015/email-address-validator

An improved email address validator. For the last couple of years we’ve mostly used Devise’s extremely simple email address regex to validate email addresses. After all, the real proof of whether an address is correct is if the confirmation email gets through to the end user. Email regex used to validate email formats. It simply asserts that. One (and only one) @ exists in the given string. This is mainly. To give user feedback and not to assert the e-mail validity. A[ @] @[ @] z/. A[ @] @[ @] z/. It wou...
