Projects

“You can’t do anything really well unless you love it, and if you love to hack you’ll inevitably be working on projects of your own.”

Paul Graham – Hackers & Painters

All of my code is now hosted on GitHub. I’ve listed most of it below:

Javascript

Date Input is a no frills date picker plugin for jQuery

Ruby

Poisson is a library for working with the Poisson distribution

Ruby on Rails Plugins

delegate_temporal is a workaround to ensure multiparameter assignment still works when you delegate date/time Active Record attributes
default_templates allows a “default” template to be used for any given action in a Rails app
delegate_with_default adds a :default option to the delegate method
dependent_records lists the associated records which will be destroyed by destroying a particular record
restrict_params allows you to restrict the params which we allow to get through to the action
restflection allows you to extract information about resources without necessarily knowing what they are called
html_output makes the ActionView tag helpers output HTML instead of XHTML.
find_resource creates (for example) a find_post method for a PostsController and automatically adds before_filters for the relevant actions

Other stuff

I have repositories to house my experiments and my scripts.
