Unobtrusive Ruby is any Ruby code that stays out of your way. It does not make you write lots of boilerplate, or stub methods, or open classes. It is decoupled. Its tests run quickly, its classes fit on one screen, its methods are tiny, and it is quickly refactorable.
Unobtrusive Ruby is a state of mind.
MagicOptions is a ruby module that provides mechanisms for splatting an options hash into an object’s instance variables.

Renewing Kerberos tickets in Gnome3
UPDATED… Some smart arse in the office pointed out that you can change this more easily as follows:
- Click on your name in the top right of the screen.
- Click
System Settingsin the drop-down menu. - Click
Kerberos Authentication. - Type your preferred Kerberos principal into the
Kerberos Principaltext field. - Close the
Kerberos Authenticationwindow.
The original advice remains below as an exercise in humility.
With a large number of configuration utilities removed from Gnome3, I found it hard to adjust the principal that krb5-auth-dialog uses when refreshing my Kerberos ticket.
The principal I need to use is sheldonh/root@STARJUICE.NET. Unfortunately, krb5-auth-dialog defaults to sheldonh@STARJUICE.NET.
Happily, you can change this as follows:
- Install and run
gconf-editor. - Click to expand
/appsin the tree view on the left. - Scroll down and click on
/apps/krb5-auth-dialogin the tree view on the left. - Double-click on
principalin the detail view on the right. - Type your preferred Kerberos principal into the
Valuetext field and clickOK. - Close
gconf-editor.
Now when you click on “Get Ticket” in krb5-auth-dialog, you’re prompted for the password for your preferred principal.
