I have an application that uses the Authlogic gem and needs the functionality of the Userstamp plugin. AFAIK Userstamp works very well with RestfulAuthentication, though I couldn't find anything mentioning using it together with Authlogic. Has anyone of you tried to combine them?

I've got a few ruby gems that won't go away. I think it has to do with when I installed them.

But gem uninstall doesn't work. ...

I'd like to kick off a thread that wakes up every so many seconds to do some processing within a Ruby-on-Rails web app. In .NET, the logical place would have been to create a thread in the global.asax file and start it in Application_Start. Is there a similar paradigm for doing such things in RoR? Would this be done in the Application...
