I Normalized

UPDATE 9/3/2009

So you’re happily rake test ing the shit out of your app, and see nothing but dots.. Then cap deploy and you see nothing.. at all!

Why you ask? I’ll tell ya.

Using Rails 2.1.0 on my dev box, I ran sqlite as dev and test db. All was fine and happy.

Then deployed (to mysql) and all hell broke loose. Looks like Mysql doesnt like lines such as

 named_scope :exclude, lambda {|id| { :conditions => ['id <> ?', id] }  } 

Instead, it prefers

named_scope :exclude, lambda {|id| { :conditions => ['`services`.id <> ?', id] }  }

weird huh?

It’s been a month since the launch of LeLe, our social networking app for former privates of the greek army. People haven’t quite embraced it yet but that shouldn’t keep us from evolving it, should it? No Sir!

So in that spirit, as of yesterday we support OpenID on it, cause no one needs another password. Next step is to enhance its TDD with some shoulda magic (check this comparison by josh susser )
