Clearly one of the best rebuttals I've heard up to now:
Ruby on Rails HTML link helper |
April 20, 2008
Sometimes you might want to link up any html links from a string of text: def make_links ( str ) regex = Regexp . new ' (https?:\/\/([-\w\.]+)+(:\d+)?(\/([\w\/_\.]*(\?\S+)?)?)?) ' str . gsub ( regex , ' <a href="\1">\1</a> ' ) end
Earthquake at 4:37am |
April 18, 2008
There's nothing quite like being woken up, thinking you're about to die.. Early this morning I woke to the sound of rattling windows, doors, and furniture next to walls. A few seconds later (an eternity at 4:37am) the rattle became a really intense shake just before it stopped completely. In 35 years of living in or near Nashville, TN, I don't recall ever having any eart...

Two Rivers Ford in Nashville, TN are crooks |
April 5, 2008
Last week I called Two Rivers Ford Service Center to find out how much my 30K mile service would be. I knew it wasn't going to be cheap but I needed to get it done. The guy I spoke with asked me the make and model and I told him. He quoted me a price of $349.95 + tax. I said thanks and hung up the phone. I calculated the sales tax and found I needed to budget about $385 for th...
Microsoft Windows 7 Exclusive Rebuttal |
April 4, 2008
I came across this article today: http://thebetaguy.com/exclusives/?postid=1029344029... This guy doesn't understand, when he says: Competitors complained that offering internet and media solutions with the operating system harmed competition in the marketplace (despite other operating systems such as Mac OS X and Linux apparently being immune from such critic...
April Fool's Day 2008 |
April 1, 2008
This year's internet-based April Fool's jokes were a complete let-down. Google did something with time-based emails. *yawn* Digg made symbols appear instead of numbers when you would digg an article. Wowhead.com turned their page white instead of black and worst of all World of Warcraft has been down since lunchtime when I first tried it. What a depressing day. I can't even fin...

Book Recommendation: 
Programming Ruby is the defacto-standard for learning to program in Ruby. If someone tells you to pick up a copy of “the pickaxe book”, this is the one they mean. This book goes through the entire Ruby language, step-by-step, teaching you each basic concept. This is the second edition, which is expanded to include over 200 pages of new content, covering all the improved language features of Ruby 1.8 and standard library modules. The Pickaxe contains four major sections: an acclaimed tutorial on using Ruby, the definitive reference to the language, complete documentation on all built-in classes, modules, and methods, and complete descriptions of all 98 standard libraries. Needless to say, it’s very thorough. This book is great for beginners but also makes an excellent reference for the pros. |
