It's time for another linkfest!
- Someone figured out how to correlate GPS data with F-spot photos via timestamps and dump it in to Google maps. (This would be a good excuse to get a GPS.)
- The Caboose Documentation Drive has raised a staggering $15, 227.74 to go towards improving the Rails documentation. All this was raised in three days from 94 contributors. If you make money with Rails, you ought to pitch in!
- Dr. Nic's Magic Models takes the DRY principle to frightening lengths. Why specify your associations/validations in the model when it's already explained in the migration? (I'd be interested in the plausibility of going the other direction since it seems more sane, but it's rather problematic.)
- Kevin Clark muses over what can be done to improve test fixtures in Rails. The fact that most of the people on the core panel admitted to not using fixtures is a pretty good indicator that something's wrong here. I'll admit I've had my share of pain with the brittleness of fixtures, but I haven't really taken it to heart. Pain is code's way of telling you that something needs improvement.
- Lastly, here's a neat trick you can play on people who start mooching your bandwidth. Much fun.
