I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Rocking New Year 2010!

If you need to get the full URL of an image, just put the following code snippet into ApplicationHelper module in your app/helpers/application_helper.rb:

  def image_url(source)
    abs_path = image_path(source)
    unless abs_path =~ /^http/
      abs_path = "#{request.protocol}#{request.host_with_port}#{abs_path}"
    end
   abs_path
  end

I wonder why this function is not already a standard part of Rails.

Thanks to Tom we now have avatars in openSUSE Build Service, so e.g. Involved Users list looks like this:

If you have a shady man instead of your nice photo, go to gravatar.com and setup your own one. Don’t forget to add the email address you are using in the Build Service!

I travel to work by bus. While they are usually in Prague Public Transit’s traditional colors – red and white, today this one came to bus stop:

I was really happy that I could go to SUSE offices on Geeko Bus. It really made my day!
