Simple Captcha : Update
After getting loads of emails, I’ve put the RMagick back in the plugin simple_captcha to provide various image styles and different level of distortions. The main reason for including it back is that people found it was hard for to apply their own styles.
Still the filesystem is not used in the plugin, neither for the secret code nor for the images. The generated image is directly rendered on the web page instead of storing on the server so that there won’t be any trouble for the distributed environment with clustered servers.


Working with Vinsol has been one of the most rewarding and productive collaborations I've ever had in the technology industry. Manik is an intelligent and honest engineer with a great faculty for open and clear communication, and his team include some of the swiftest and keenest developers I've ever had the pleasure to work with. They're great value for money, excellent people who are a joy to know and interact with, and above all they really know their stuff
