Just kidding, it’s not as bad as it seems. Right now I don’t have  
much in my route.rb, and I’m getting this in my console:

Processing ApplicationController#index (for 127.0.0.1 at 2008-02-01  
14:54:00) [GET]  
[2008-02-01 14:54:00] (552) INFO Session ID:

anyone have an idea of how to make this go away. It’s not causing  
anything to stop working, but it is really getting under my skin. It  
seems to be caused by activescaffold trying to replace its js files  
from the vendor/activescaffold/…/defaut/ directory to the above  
blackhole of a directory. I can see the files got replaced in that  
directory just fine, so why the exception??? Why the complaining?

I’m getting the same error, seems like it started after I upgraded  
active\_scaffold but I could be wrong.
