I’ve been absolutely going nuts on Rails. Very Soon Now™ I’m going to be be posting a bunch of Articles on Rails.

I think the HABTM/has_many :through association (which was given a good treatment here) is first. I’m not going to be comparing them, but I’m going to be talking about exactly how you use them.

It’s called a changeover. The movie goes on, and nobody in the audience has any idea.

Wow. I’ve done like nine million questions in the last couple of days. My brain hurts.

It’s really getting freakishly close to the bar exam right now. I’ve got so much I’ve got to do before the exam.

There have been a number of articles on iusethis recently, comparing it to digg and others. I like the idea in the short-term, but the reasons digg and the like work so well for news are the same reasons that the model will break down for persistent ranking. I’m not criticizing, I’m just saying that their ranking methodology for the ‘front page’ is going to have to change.

Some of these issues are discussed in Phill Ryu’s interview with the creators. Still, it would be interesting to know where they’re planning on going with all of this for the long term, and how they are going to maintain their momentum.

I’ve got to say, TextMate is an amazing blog platform. It is exactly what I need. For a long time I was using ecto, but even that seems a little “full featured” for me. All I really need is text support.

TextMate is quickly becoming my most used app on OS X.

I’ve been running sitemap.xml support on typo for a while now, but just recently scott integrated the sitemap patch i wrote into the tree. I think everything is working fine after a little hiccup associated with adding some _* prefixed files to the tree.

Man this bar thing is really getting old. I’ve been spending all my time learning these subjects I learned 1L year!

Well, here we go. Finals are about to start! Let’s go France!
