    • ]]>     I’m trying to teach myself Rails, but I’m not even a programmer. So when I’m stumped, I’m fairly stumped. Currently my app is not saving form data when it should be, and redirecting when it shouldn’t.

    Update

    I’ve actually fixed this now. It was the ‘home_path’ route that was causing the problems. Thanks to everyone who made suggestions on Twitter, and particularly Josh Hart for thrashing it out with me over a coffee.

    I’ve had a few suggestions via Twitter, but still can’t get it to work. If you happen to be a Rails developer I’d be eternally grateful for any advice on the code below (for some reason the embedding seems to be screwing up the line numbering).

    • ]]>     Paul Balmforth ('Fergie')I first discovered this when Birmingham Library had a display of missing persons, but I wasn’t sure if he was still missing. Sadly it appears so, as a new appeal to find Paul Balmforth (nicknamed ‘Fergie’ at school) was reported in the Southern Daily Echo earlier this month.

    If anyone reading this has any information please visit Paul’s page on missingpeople.org.uk, or contact Missing People confidentially on 0500 700700.

    • ]]>     This relates to a post I made to the GTD TiddlyWiki group.

    I upgraded to MGTD 2 Alpha by starting a new tiddlywiki, importing the entire contents of my old one and then re-importing the upgrades. It seems to have worked, except the formatting of my Project tiddlers appears to be corrupt.

    If anyone out there understands what I’m saying and has any suggestions, please get in touch.
