Snow Leopard bites me on the a$$ again

Twice, actually.
First, there was the, I think, Ruby 1.8.7 upgrade. Suddenly, my home-grown acts_as_my_thing plugin stops working. The classes with "acts_as_my_thing" crash and burn when loading, saying that "acts_as_my_thing" doesn't exist. Crap. Now what?
Eventually I managed to find the proper incantation. I have an abstract super class for a bunch of my models. It's called LabRecord. In the file that defines my "acts_as_my_thing", I had:
LabRecord.class_eval do
include Lti::Acts::MyThing
end
I think there is a class-loading chicken-and-egg problem going on, so after trying a bunch of stuff like moving around "requires" in the environment.rb file, I eventually decided that I was "doin it rong", and did this instead:
class LabRecord < ActiveRecord::Base
include Lti::Acts::MyThing
...
But, that wasn't the end of my day. I did say twice, didn't I? A little while later I was diddling around with svn in my Rails project, and then BOOM. 3rdRail/Subclipse couldn't read my workspace anymore:
Unsupported working copy format
svn: This client is too old to work with working copy '/Users/lori/Documents/workspaces/labrador/dev2'. You need
to get a newer Subversion client, or to downgrade this working copy.
See http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#working-copy-format-change
for details.
I'm too tired for this shit. Sigh. At least if you follow the link, you can download the Python script which will convert your Subversion workspace back to 1.5 (Snow Leopard has SVN 1.6), and get back to it.
