Santana's Tech Notes: December 2007

Small notes about technical related stuff I do, mainly OpenBSD and Ruby. Wednesday, December 05, 2007. Informix adapters for ActiveRecord and ruby-sequel. I have updated Rails/Informix. To implement DECIMAL support and fix a pair of bugs that prevented the generation of db/schema.rb. I'm happy to say that on its 1.1.0 release, this adapter is mostly complete - indexes is still missing - and robust. By the way, even though Rails 2.0 is out. You can take a look at some examples here. Links to this post.
