Jade's weblog Archive

I've created a website called Plantworking, which is a place to get answers to your questions from other people in your climate. It also acts as a collaborative garden log.

To understand the idea behind Plantworking, try and imagine if everyone on Facebook or Twitter was only posting topics that were related to gardening. Imagine the usefulness of that!

I'm actively working on the site, and I'd appreciate any feedback you might have.

How to install plugins on Rails 3 (and workaround an issue)

$ rails plugin install http://github.com/rails/exception_notification.git
Initialized empty Git repository in .git/
warning: Option "depth" is ignored for http://github.com/rails/exception_notification.git

fatal: Couldn't find remote ref HEAD

I found the bug report here and used the workaround suggested there:

cd vendor/plugins/
git clone -q http://github.com/rails/exception_notification.git

OR EVEN BETTER

git submodule add http://github.com/rails/exception_notification.git vendor/plugins/exception_notification

Don't comment your code

If you're commenting your code, it's not clear enough.

Thinking of switching to Mongoid

I'm thinking about ditching mongo_mapper and moving to mongoid. Does anyone have any experiences with either on Rails 3?

I dislike the MongoMapper API, and it seems like Mongoid has a few nice features that seem like they make a big difference, like naming your keys.
