Merbing - Merb & Rails adventures

My blog was getting an error every once in a while, probably if no connection was made in 8 hours.

This happens because neither AR and Datamapper close their connections letting the database to take care of it, so I tried to change MySQL setting to:

wait_timeout = 259200

but this won't help me much so I will try some hacking tonite and update this post again.

You are setting up your Feather, excited to write your first post but you see is an error like this:

undefined method `empty?' for nil:NilClass

This is an issue in Merb 0.9.3 with page caching and there is a patch you can run to fix it for now until the next Merb release.
View patch.
Happy blogging.
