Comment on What? When? Where? by Anna

Hi.

I’ve just discovered whenshouldwe.com, and think it’s a really great site! Simple idea, but wonderfully useful (and simple to use too!) Anyway, I just had one little comment – i’ve no idea if it over-complicates things perhaps, but maybe there could be a way of ranking the suggested dates in order of preference rather than just a yes/no option?
Couldn’t find a contact for you on here, hence the comment here.
Anyway, even without a preference mode, it’s a great little site that I will use a lot. Thanks!

Anna

Comment on Git pull from github by kira

yay! exactly what i needed, thanks.

git gui also doesn’t add those to the config, so they are missing when switching from the gui to command line

Comment on Rails nested resources and form_for by tim.harding

Mike,

seems like a fair point. In what case would you set the name_prefix to nil?

Thanks,

Comment on Rails nested resources and form_for by Mike

But what if your nested resource has a name_prefix of nil? Then form_for will generate a undefined method when trying to generate the correct URL method.

for example:

map.resources :networks do |network|
network.resources :channels, :name_prefix => nil
end

This setup will generate a undefined method because it will try and call “network_channel_path”

Excellent! So simple, and yet it tripped me up for too long… Thanks for posting!

I had an idea for a web-tool of similar size, and I absolutely love everything you’ve done with whenshouldwe; could you share a little about it’s development? What language/framework are you using… Rails?

Nice and concise. I used this post to add Atom feeds to my Rails 2.3.2 site this morning. Thanks!

Comment on Starting a tftp server in OS X Leopard by Paul

When you are don using the server, should you ot enter this command:

unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/tftp.plist

I think the last line has a typo with unload and load in the same line.

Tim, as usual thanks for the excellent (and multilingual!) praise. I did add the totally obvious link on the page that you suggest. Merci, mon ami!

Yeah, I’ve been sucking at checking my comments. I reckon that you’re all good as long as you buy AppleCare… they’ll sort you out right if you’ve got that.
