I have something similar that might work at https://github.com/vothane/act....

I tried this as well.. didnt work..

I found that including the model does not trigger the callback.. just adds functions to add callback (!).. adding this makes it work..

Hi Etaupier, Not 100% sure why it wouldn't be working for you. I will try and take a look in the next few days at how I'd done things and see if there was any catch that I missed....

This is not working for me at all on a Rails 3.1 app. I know the callback is being registered correctly because I can declare one in my class definition (ie before_save :test_me). The problem I'm having is the callback method never seems to get executed. I've tried before_save, after_save and after_initialize all with the same result. Any ideas?

Funny. Visited your site cuz of your Boulder-Picture on twitter. And I found a BlogPost about building a Rails - API. I'm currently building an API with rails. Pure coincidence. +1

Thanks John. Glad it helped! It's funny that all of this mess is made
redundant by rails 3.1 though.

Awesome article, thanks for sharing. I did something similar but used jammit and jammit_heroku so I only actually needed the first before_deploy.rake task. It's a lifesaver, because I can't use jammit's default functionality as Heroku doesn't allow me to write to the assets directory.

Thanks for the nice words Ganesh! Memory was certainly the motivation behind the video.. it was great fun to re-remember all the little things while we were going through all the footage! My advice - get your camera out and get filming, you'll be happy about it later.

Hey nice video. Captured most of the nice places in North India. And thanks for the tips. I somehow never manage to video anything while I am on a trip. The trip is so exciting that I forget to fish out my camera and record something. In the end it is all a memory, which is how I like it. Maybe I should try something like this. Cheers and happy traveling.

@SKinSK, thanks for letting me know about the private video thing. Bummer
that they've hidden it...

Re: Top Rope Tough Guys

SKinSK — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 08:01:02 -0000

I couldn't watch it here:-( aid it was a "private" video . . . but caught it at the Reel Rock tour and this was first and my favorite of the night!

Fantastic video...clearly gives you a demo as to how to show technical things to layman or even educated people who are not into it.

I loved this talk and I'm intrigued how he will make it happen. He certainly has the weight to lobby for something like this, and it's great to see the winds of change that have been blowing from the new new economy (toms shoes, dreamhost, basically any company with a social agenda) finally reaching the old market. Then again, there really is little choice. GM's recent decline shows that the old business models don't work any more. Agassi will have 100000 cars out by 2012 and grow from there, while everybody else is caught in a downward spiral.

I also agree that it's smarter to speak the language of the people you're trying to convince. Dressing in rags and chaining yourself to railroad tracks is not sending the right kind of signal.

Thanks for the comment Sanna. I'm traveling in south America at the moment ... Hence the lack of posts.

Interesting perspective... my mom was just talking about getting a netbook, and I wondered why, why why do people buy them?!

Thanks for the great comments about the design Christian! I love hearing what other people think. Keep an eye on the site – I've just started a 6 month trip and there will certainly be some new climbing and mountain photos coming soon!

Re: J. Gardner Photography Refresh

Christian — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 02:11:52 -0000

Hi Jeff,

First of all, I love your pictures of the mountains/climbing; great! The design of your site is quite clear. The implementation of Simpleviewer looks nice and works perfect. The combination of the bold type and the dark colors are heavy, but okay that could be a matter of taste. Keep on going!

Pman may not be as savvy at "the internets" as some of us. I'm going to suggest that he write some kind of documentary or story or something to be sure all the tales get told. He really did have some crazy stuff happen on that route. I haven't even heard all of it yet, I don't think. For example, at one point he was hauling off two old rusted quarter inchers (b/c they were the ONLY option) and one of the bolts blew out - shock loaded the other bolt (which pman said was the worse looking of the two). So he had to haul the rest on just one old nasty bolt. And I don't think there was anything else for an anchor. Maybe he backed himself up to a nut or something. But anyway - it was sketch as hell apparently, at least in parts.

Hope your trip's going well, Jeff. I'll get the porta-ledge to you somehow before you leave. Don't worry.

Sweet. Where the heck is Peytons internet presence?! I want to hear the story on the whole route!

Re: Aquarian Wall: Solo

Stanley — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 11:33:12 -0000

Nice! This picture is when Peyton got to Timbuktu ledge. He was way way way behind in terms of water/hydration and was looking at finishing the route majorly dehydrated. But he found 5 gallons stashed on the ledge! He said he cashed 2 liters immediately without stopping, took a short break and then cashed 2 more! Super lucky.
