Scratching my head over Rails

  • 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 [...]

  • I finally got around to fixing the footer on this blog. It still looks a bit strange when the right column is longer than the left, but at least it doesn’t look completely broken.

Corrupt tiddlers

  • 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 [...]
