rails generates urls with different default_url_option default in controllers vs. views - surprised the hell out of me ;-/ 
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  def index
    @a = url_for(:action => :index)
    @b = url_for(:action => :index, :only_path => true)
  end
end

some of my favorite hacks on ruby's numeric classes
class Numeric
def parity
(self.to_i % 2) == 0 ? 'even' : 'odd'
end
end
class Fixnum
LONG_MAX = ( (2 ** (64 - 2)) - 1 )
INT_MAX = ( (2 ** (32 - 2)) - 1 )

=begin
Util.relative_path('/any/path/to/root/foo/bar/a.png', :from => '/any/path/to/root') #=> 'foo/bar/a.png'
=end
module Util
require 'pathname'
require 'map'

sometimes you make teeny changes and want lighting fast deploys: add this task to your Capfile's for life-changing time savings
##
# cap production fast:deploy # taks about 3 seconds!
#
namespace :fast do
task :deploy do
run "cd #{ current_path } && git pull origin master 2>&1 && bundle install >/dev/null 2>&1 && touch tmp/restart.txt"
end

my perspective

we need to realize that covering women's racing might not equal coving men's racing

pros can only race so much, if one wants to increase exposure one needs to look outside making today's female pro racers earn coverage by working harder than the boys

node.js is easy, but it's even easier with this ruby program, which is capable of generating any node program.
a:~ $ cat a.rb
(cb=proc{|*a| a.size < 42 ? cb.call('cb(', *a, ')') : a.join }).call(ARGV.shift).display
a:~ $ ruby a.rb 42
cb(cb(cb(cb(cb(cb(cb(cb(cb(cb(cb(cb(cb(cb(cb(cb(cb(cb(cb(cb(cb(42)))))))))))))))))))))
