Lab Ratz biography, Lab Ratz discography
It's an amazing testament to his skills that he can do this with a small team at Google.It looks like Google places a limit on the languages allowed on company projects.There are strict guidelines on security, performance, etc.While it's very cool that there are projects like this coming out of Google it also makes me wonder about Google's future.Basically, sell your soul in exchange for a coveted seat in one of their cubicles.Hey, I admit it still sounds cool but the intellectual intensity must be stifling at times just like academia is.Google is more of a bureaucracy than most think and it's probably hard to feel like your changes are having an impact unless you get indirect satisfaction from being part of the world's largest search engine.Stevey's Blog Rants: Rhino on Rails
Life not THAT Great Working at Google?One of the shocking things about going into production is to go on a little break or even get away from the house only to gasp in horror as you stare at a blank 404 where your earth shaking rails app should be when you get back online.Integrating stuff like memcached into your rails app is mostly trivial thanks to the work of some wonderful rails hackers but keeping this moving parts moving is a task in itself.Naturally, the good thing about development is that everyone else has been there and done that.The other day I discovered monit thanks to igvita.Also random application crashes will increase the more moving parts you have such as memcached, mongrel, and acts_as_ferret.Monit is a wonderful little tool to ensure that your little web app keeps chugging along happily.Using it with mongrel_cluster will ensure that users of your web app will be served a proper web page even as one of the other mongrels get culled for misbehaving.You see, when used in conjunction with mongrel you need to be careful to ensure that memcached is running before your mongrel starts.So, suppose your memcached crashes but mongrel stays up.Fortunately, this is trivial with monit because you can simply set a hierarchy by stipulating a depends on condition.This will ensure that whatever is being depended on will be restarted by monit first before the other processes get started.What this does is set a hierarchy so if memcached gets restarted, mongrels will get restarted afterwards.On initialization, memcached will get started first so your web app can function properly.Monit will also dutifully email you of any incidences that trigger it.This combined with exception notification can provide you with valuable debugging info.Prerelease: Healing power of the pack!This isn't supposed to be a detailed guide from beginning to end but a simple walk through to explain some things that tripped me up.In my approach, I changed the set_timezone filter in application.You always need to have a valid TZInfo::Timezone object when setting the time zone which is why we convert the string to a time zone object by calling TZInfo::Timezone.For my views I always format the date time into something more user friendly using strftime so I have this in one of my modules to convert the time in views.All the stuff generated by link_to and other helpers are ultimately spit out as strings.This will allow you to combine helpers by using the property of strings.The bottom version is more readable in a larger sense but top is way more concise.UPDATE: Evan has updated has_many_polypmorphs so that child and parent can access each other both ways.In my application I have Pictures and I have a bunch of other models that will use pictures like Profiles or Communities.This is easy to understand.You need a Folder model and Linkings model.Not only that you have to set up all the association statements correctly and specify callbacks and other stuff to make them useful.As you can see, the Community class (and neither does the profile class) require any association to be declared.Less configuration and more flexibility is certainly a plus.You need a declaration in application.Rails to properly load the associations.This ensures the associations get loaded properly even when used in the console under development or for rendering in views.Sorry for not writing in a while.My blog was inaccessible for a long long time and there really wasn't anything I could do.Support requests simply came back as "can't do anything for third party software".Oh well, I'm not complaining but it's a shame.That's not to say I want to do PHP.Today, I came across a great snippet you can add in your helpers to iterate over html lists, you know the typical ol ul elements.Now my code isn't the most elegant but it works.It uses recursion to produce a nested list (although the spacing and newlines aren't included so the source looks garbled in real life).Haven't tried it for something nested deeper than two elements so mileage may vary.I'm not trying to make fun or put down DHH but seeing that is such a sigh of relief for people like me doing much more fumbling.It's also true for some serious rails hackers like Rick.Check Out TOKSICKS interview at www.Toksicks Mix Tapes now available!Students are encouraged to reach conclusions on their own and are given opportunities to apply the scientific principles they learn to both real and imagined scenarios.Our unique presentation of the material does not pressure students to memorize facts, but instead encourages them to understand ideas and how they pertain to the world.Go to a random page on The Hype Machine.Contact us, we love to hear from you!Id + " Link: " + targetLink.She runs, I mean, she really runs.Boston
Marathon) but oh no, that is not enough for Jo.Weight: Does not change the gravitational constant.Birth Place: Barrie, Ontario (don't hold that against her).She was rescued out of the back corners of the UBC Math department to fulfill her destiny as a Lab Rat.Don't let that scare you though.Height: Probably taller than you are.Birth Place: Some hick town in Michigan.Status: attached to her lab bench.Desription: Melanie is one of two Lab Ratz that find themselves in Vancouver at the
capricious whim of their graduate advisor.Melanie was living an idyllic existence as a
graduate student in molecular biology and genetics at the Johns Hopkins University School of
Medicine.Tragically, Melanie was forced into a bleak exile from Hopkins
when her advisor left Baltimore to become the Associate Grand Poobah of the Center for
Molecular Medicine and Therapeutics in Vancouver, relocating his entire laboratory in the
process.Thus our heroine headed northwest to finish her Ph.Melanie joined the
Lab Ratz in their inaugural season and has been playing with them ever since.Status: To be betrothed on or about the month prior to September.Nickname: Jury is still deliberating.Nevertheless, it was to be fiat justitia ruat coelum rather than bon appetit!Age: not 25
Height: From our team picture I would say about 5 10.Desription: Blair is a veteran of the Ultimate scene, having played for countless years on numerous teams in the VUL.Rat, with all honors and privileges that accompany that title.It seems that the Porn Star lifestyle made him vulnerable to injuries, especially those centered about the calf and groin.Despite his injuries he could still be seen limping around on the field, muttering "It's the playoffs, baby".He has publicly declared that he will play "fish" in our Salmon zone and school Mike Grant if we ever play against him, so watch out!Immediately recruited to the ultimate team,
you better watch out for this Rat!Now fully transitioned into the real
world, when JP's not laying out on the field, he's been seen comtemplating
higher mathematics, attending Shakespearean tragedies, and spending time
at Ted's with a certain beautiful blonde (other than Dave).In fact, the
rest of us are having a hard time finding a flaw in this guy.This is for the good of science.For some reason he just loves being on top...He can often
be seen throwing hammers into the endzone, thus his nickname.He does have
a mean hammer.He is the Ratz most eager player and will always be the
first one to volunteer for any pickup game, tournament, and shows up to
every practice.Girls, note the tendency towards committment, loyalty,
reliability (wink, wink)!.He lives in the party house with JP, Darren and
Mark who are also ultimate players and they all throw some wicked parties.Don Wagner (PhD) was recruited by the Ratz in 1998 in order to study the effect of laying out on brain function.His "velcro" hands have allowed him to be our "silent but deadly" weapon in the end zone.Despite having one bum
knee, Long Don can be seen charging to the end zone to incredibly snag the
disc as it soars above the other teams heads.But Don's skill doesn't end on
the field, his unique talent lies in rummaging up old classics for the Ratz
famous cheers.And we'll have fun, fun, fun......Age: Old enough to drink Raki.Height: 5'9'' (tall enough to drink Raki).Weight: Less than me, but more when he drinks Raki.Birth Place: Ankara, TR
Occupation: Raki Drinker.Desription: Tamer comes to the Lab Ratz via the VUL individual sign ups
at the inception of the Ratz.He came along with his beautiful and
talented wife Kim, the other gorgeous blonde on the team.He is now one of the Ratz best diving defenders (well...Tamer introduced some of us to his
favourite past time, drinking Raki, and the results were hilarious.What
is Raki you ask, well it's a turkish beverage that has a very strong taste
with a very strong liquorice smell.You can always count on Tamer to have a smile on
his face and to be there with this winning smile in the endzone diving to
catch a disc.His goals in life are to travel around the world on a BMW
motorcycle with the wind whipping through his hair, sitting behind him is
his beautiful blonde wife with her arms wrapped around him (hanging on for
dear life no doubt).His other goal is to be a diving defender, for real.Status: Courting a former Lab Rat, the lovely Sarah.Noteworthy Great hands, great feet, game concept...Desription: In only his second season with the Lab Ratz:
Okay Mark, you set the stack.You go and set the stack.Look, never mind the stack, on defense you go in the cup.And so Mark ran, and caught, and he did throw, and the Ratz all agreed that he is good.
