Finding a good password
I found an interesting password generation (online) tool that even says how much time it will take for people break the generated password 🙂 It may help to define good passwords for Firebird users accounts.
Joao Pedrosa’s wiki – post of the day
My use of Firebird started with its precursor, Interbase. I used Interbase for almost two years in a Delphi project, and at the time I was already doing some Firebird tests to see if it was a good alternative to Interbase. It was. It is. But I ended up not using it. From then on, Firebird has remained my database engine of choice, and I use it to host these sites, for instance. Also, I use it in most of my development efforts.

Follow the Progress of JRuby on Rails
Charles Nutter has been keeping an updated page of Rails test run results that shows progress towards the goal of a fully-functioning JRuby on Rails. Members of the JRuby team have already demonstrated Rails applications working on JRuby, and even ActiveRecord talking to databases via JDBC. To be clear, what we’re talking about here is the effort to get the sizable Rails test suite running at 100% passing.
