Had an MS Word file that would crash Acrobat (both 6 and 8) every time we'd convert it to PDF due to some embedded fonts. After searching the net I tried out PDFCreator and it worked!

A handy little one - a backup script for RimuHosting that will backup your Rails app and copy it to the provided backup storage account. To use it you first have to add Geoffrey Grosenbach's backup.rake script to your lib/tasks directory, then sign up for RimuHosting's backup service, then just save out this script as e.g. "backup.sh" and add it to your crontab.
