  1. On a scale of 1 to 10, today has been 6 productive and 9% fail.
  2. Oops. None of the cavemen are dying. Is it a bug, or a result of tweaking the starting environment? Taking ages to complete, too.
  3. Nevermind about the Aspire Ones, looks like they're sold out already. Wonder how many they actually had in stock?
  4. @greatbigfish £150 from Play.com.
  5. @derumi £3, to the UK, though. No idea if they'd even ship to the US.
  6. If anyone's in the market for an Acer Aspire One netbook (original spec), boffer.co.uk has them for £90.
  7. Just fixed a really confusing bug. Hint: don't try to create children in a 'before_save' call when you really want 'before_update'.
  8. @GlennHalstead Neither is skipping meals, really. Your body leaves the fat and eats the muscle, leaving you fat AND weak.
  9. Fuck's sake. It's nearly midnight and I've not had any dinner!
  10. Time to move upstairs. Sadly, my NC10 lacks enough grunt to simulate a year of caveman foraging before I get bored waiting.
  11. @mathie It does, but I was hoping for a global way to get shot of it entirely while I work on this. Performance isn't a concern, 1-user app.
  12. There doesn't appear to be a way to disable ActiveRecord's association caching. That's disappointing.
  13. Hmm, or maybe it does, sometimes. I wonder if it's a cached query that's causing this. Hrm.
  14. Oh, poo. ActiveRecord association calls don't appear to respect default_scope. That's going to be bothersome.
  15. It's tragic, really. I'm writing code which models cave-men trying to find food. I just completed the bit that makes them starve to death.
  16. It's quite nice, sitting in the living room, hacking on stuff on my NC10, listening to the rain outside.
  17. @the_meghatron Ha! I was, indeed, doing in wrong. But @craigwebster set me right.
  18. @craigwebster Awesome stuff. And impressive code-twittering, too. Thanks!
  19. Bah, no, a quick test rules that out. This is annoying me. Grr!
  20. Hmm, I wonder if it's because I've also got ActiveRecord logging going on? I think I read somewhere it messes with Logger...
