# This is a teaser for a plugin I'm working on to provide an alternative
# to ActiveRecord fixtures.
#
# It's similar to ThoughtBot's Factory Girl, but I think the syntax is
# a lot nicer.
#
# The models below are the canonical Rails blog examples, i.e. a Post
# has_may Comments.
#
# I'm using the very cool Faker gem to make up values for fields.

Why is http://gist.github.com/15704 invalid HTML?
The width of each column is specified as 50%. Section 10.2 of the CSS2 spec tells us:
The percentage is calculated with respect to the width of the generated box's containing block.
The containing block in this case is the table. So let's say the table is, for example, 500px wide.
That means each column is 250px wide, but...
Section 17.6.2 tells us that the row width is:

value = "Don T Alias"
first_name, last_name = value.reverse.split(' ', 2).reverse.collect(&:reverse)
first_name = first_name.to_s

# Refactored to take into account Xavier's pathological aversion to case statements:
words = value.split(' ')
first_name, last_name = if words.size == 0
['', '']
elsif words.size == 1

The Ruby daemons gem, as used by daemontools, does this to restart daemons:
@group.stop_all
sleep 1
@group.start_all
The stop_all method does not wait for the daemon to exit before returning.
Anyone see the huge glaring problem here? *grumble*
