Finally figured out the elusive bug that's been bothering me all day. In my code, I create an instance of my Family class (this is as I'm importing a GEDCOM into the database), which basically creates a record in the Families table. I kept trying to set the ...
I've been reading about RailsConf today. Dang, it sounds like it was really quite cool. I really liked Paul Graham's keynote, "The Power of the Marginal". And DHH's announcement about Active Resource (like Active Record but for web services) sounds exceedingly interesting. Can't wait ...

Now that I have SSH enabled on my server (I use Bluehost, by the way, and they're awesome -- and they just upgraded our accounts to 15 gigs instead of 10 :)), I can finally start developing for Ruby on Rails. Mmm. I picked up the second ...
I've been using both TextWrangler and vi for the last while, but all these Rails screencasts have got me interested in TextMate. I downloaded the trial version and it looks pretty cool, but I'll have to do some real work with it before I decide. It's really quite ...
