Re: checking table existence in Rails' migrations

You could also use Rails' built-in force parameter:

create_table :some_table, :force => true do |t|
t.integer user_id, :null => false
end

This forces a new table to be created even if a current table with that name exists.

Thanks Chirag. I agree -- love the pomodoro technique. I also use an app Vitamin-R, which is similar (but less rigid about how long each pomodor and break is).

Cory, thanks for publishing these notes. Simple and good information. The 2 week sprints and daily scrum calls work very well in my experience. Also, in terms of productivity, look at the "Pomodoro" technique. There's a simple Mac app timer for it.

Whenever and wherever... On the subway or home on the couch. After I come home from work it's hard to disengage my mind and focus on reading, but it's good for me when I can. Lots of times I just flit away looking at emails and such on my phone.
Any recommendations or overlap?

Re: Today is the 34th Birthday of Punk Rock

beatom — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 12:34:47 -0000

the birth of British punk, Detroit & Michigan punk date back to the 1960's the first time the word "punk" appeared in print media was relating to Clio, Michigan Mexican Punk rockers "? & the Mysterions"
Without Iggy Pop: Mr. Jim Osterberg or his spiritual father Jim Morison there would be no punk, this show mentioned above is Post-New York Dolls and Post-Ramones, all stuff Malcom was aware of before he started the Pistols, & all the bands that started that day June 4th 1976, Joy Division, The Clash, The Buzcocks, The Sex Pistols etc. ad infinitum they all had been Bowiefied & exposed to Iggy & the Doors, Jonathan Richman etc. before starting punk in the UK
thanks

the birth of British punk, Detroit & Michigan punk goes back to the 1960's, the first time the word "punk" appeared in print media in relation to music was in relation to Clio, Michigan Mexican punk rockers "? & the Mysterions" then of course there is Iggy Pop; without Mr. Jim Osterberg & his influence & without punk grandfather Jim Morison there would be none of the music from June 4, 1976, which is also post-Dolls & post Ramones...

Here is my approach to solve the problem:

after using that code you can do this in a migration:

:users.table_exists?
"users".table_exists?
:users.column_exists? :name

see you

Re: Happy Pi Day

Chris Dillon — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 18:27:09 -0000

This guy made a dynamic CGI directory listing in apache and gives you a link to the next few digits of pi (maybe primes). I thought this was pretty cool. It breaks at 4096 digits (browser POST limit) but works at 4095 digits (including any slashes you want to throw in there).

Actually, it should be
Model.columns_hash.has_key?("column_name")
