Views of a Geek. Sunday, December 10, 2006. Okay, abound is a little strong. But we've got one new one and one to-finish Ruby on Rails. Project on our plates at work. The new project is a quickie tracking app for all inventory items containing human or animal tissue that get used in the operating rooms. Apparently, it's a JCAHO. To a couple of long-term Smalltalk/Java/Struts programmers. Technically speaking, the more Rails code we can get in production, the happier I'll be. Links to this post.

Views of a Geek. Monday, January 22, 2007. Cascading Drop-downs in Rails. We were looking for a solid example of cascading dynamic drop-down select lists to use in our rails application, and found the web sorely lacking in solid examples. We found a very good start at http:/ www.railsweenie.com/forums/2/topics/767. There, but make sure this line is in your standard layout. rhtml. Add this function def to application helper. rb. Def update select box( target dom. Id, collection, options={} ). Add somethin...

bhansley: Team Building as Magic
http://bhansley.blogspot.com/2006/09/team-building-as-magic.html
Views of a Geek. Monday, September 04, 2006. Team Building as Magic. I've recently been tasked with staffing our group back up to it's fullest potential. Recent comings and goings have left us with 2 staffed and 4 open positions, not including mine. As I've been wading through resumes and talking with candidates something struck me: building a team from near-scratch like this has a great resemblance to the strategic card games Magic. I'm off to build my winning deck. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

bhansley: Unix File Permissions
http://bhansley.blogspot.com/2007/07/unix-file-permissions.html
Views of a Geek. Monday, July 16, 2007. A useful tidbit that I just discovered: if you want to set unix file permissions for the group to match the owner it's as simple as:. This just saved me boatloads of time. Discovered at: comp.unix.questions. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Other Blogs I Know. I'm a 40ish maried dad, a geek, a pocket philosopher and a wannabe pilot. View my complete profile.

Views of a Geek. Thursday, May 13, 2010. Daylight Savings Time in SQL Server. We're running a vendor system that stores every. Date/time object in GMT. This isn't a bad thing, but it does require converting GMT - Local time in every place we used it: select statements, where clauses, corelated subqueries, etc. To do this we started out years ago with a simple Function plus a database table to store DST dates. That function looked like this:. CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[ConvertGMT]. DECLARE @DST BEGIN DATETIME.
