Reusing properties in database.yml
July 3, 2009 - 3:14 pm
Posted in Caleb, Ruby on Rails | No Comments
Recently, I ran into a useful way to store your base database properties, and override them per development environment. This approach is really useful, so I thought I would blog about it.
Here is an example config/database.yml file which implements the aforementioned approach:
login: &login
adapter: mysql
username: _your_username_
password: _your_password_
host: [...]

I have loved Michael Jackson for as long as I can remember, as the following picture hopefully illustrates:
If anyone has a copy of the SEGA “Moonwalker” ROM or an actual disk, please let me know!
I take the loss of Michael Jackson to heart, it is very saddening and humbling to me that a man of [...]
Rest In Peace Michael, we love you!

This is a link to a Thriller video that we put together during my days @ EVB

Really though, who is going to be the next [...]

Decoding Flex “Unable to transcode” SWF error
November 21, 2008 - 4:02 am
Posted in ActionScript 3, Caleb, Flex / AIR | 8 Comments
Tonight (this morning?) while catching up on some work, I was trying to embed assets created in Flash in a Flex project, using the good ‘ole Embed method. I’ve done dozens of times with excellent results, but this time was different. For some reason, my tried and true approach was generating an ambiguous error [...]

FlashForward2008: Bitchin’ BitchWhoCodes
August 23, 2008 - 4:26 am
Posted in FlashForward, FlashForward2008 | No Comments
What can I say? I love BitchWhoCodes (Stacy Mulcahy)… I anticipate any developer who has lived through some of the scenarios she was mentioning and who saw her presentation at FlashForward would say the same thing. She came off like some sort of super-hero, sent to rescue developers from the bowels of project [...]

“Sound moves in all directions. Kind of like ideas. Or like imagination.” – Jared Ficklin
August 23, 2008 - 3:55 am
Posted in FlashForward, FlashForward2008 | No Comments
Jared Ficklin of Frog Design once again blew up the spot with his exciting real-world and Flash-based auditory experiments. In order to illustrate how sound travels, he showed how air, like sound, is transparent but still moves. Of course, Jared cannot explain any principal of physics without a (potentially dangerous) physical example. So, [...]
