Getting started with mod_rails/mod_rails tutorial
I have been unable to play around with mod_rails (the apache module that allows you run Rails apps in apache) and write a “mod_rails 101″ type blog post.
However, I came across this excellent mod_rails tutorial on how to get up and running.
Just thought I should share.

Free US and Canada zip code list including zip, city, state, latitude, longitude, and county
I started work on a web app that makes extensive use of zip codes recently.
The trouble was, I couldn’t get my hands on a good listing of all the zip codes in the United States without paying $20 or more at some fly-by-night website.
See for yourself here
Eventually … after much google-batics … I found a tiny link at the bottom of this wikipedia entry on zip-codes.
It went to this geocoding website and right there, was the link I had been looking for!
A FREE CSV file of all US ZIP codes including zip, city, state, latitude, longitude, and county.The date says it was last updated on September 20, 2007, which gives me hope that the file is frequently updated.
Many Thanks to ibegin! Enjoy!
update: The list was updated January 18th 2008
