I've put together a plugin that makes it easy to use layouts in your ActionMailer templates. I found myself writing very un-DRY (wet?) email templates recently and decided it was time to fix that.

If you're curious:

script/plugin install http://svn.cardboardrocket.com/action_mailer_layouts

I’ve moved to SimpleLog on a Rimuhosting VPS. No more WordPress. No more Dreamhost. My old blog posts were discarded during the transition. They were all related to my paginating_find plugin, and I’ve condensed that content down into a static page for easier consumption.
