a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.

# start_time is a #datetime column, Postgres stores as a timestamp, we need to use date_part to extract 'year'

Event.select("date_part('year', start_time)").uniq

# Spits out
# SELECT DISTINCT date_part('year', start_time) FROM "events"

Looking into how to retrieve SMS archives from iOS 6.

To explain the datetime mangling:
"The timestamps are not traditional timestamps of the number of seconds from 1/1/1970, but are instead based on the number of seconds from 1/1/2001 (so, there is a 31 year offset). So, we have to add the number of seconds in 31 years (978264705) to the timestamp to change it to a traditional timestamp giving the number of seconds from 1/1/1970."

Query below will pull a history of all message to and from the PHONE NUMBER specified.

t = 236 # seconds
Time.at(t).utc.strftime("%H:%M:%S")
=> "00:03:56"
