very useful. thanks! Updated: Is there a way to log mongoid queries?

This is an amazing tool to have at my disposal, but the inability to prevent it from scrolling down to (and selecting) the latest request all the time makes is extremely frustrating. I have some ajax polling on my page and when I try to go look at what I actually care about, it keeps jumping down to show me that my ajax polling happened... which I don't care about.
