I am definitely Mr. Joshua

"The fact is, that knowing that this is the one and only chance we get at life, it really seems important that I make the absolute best of everything here around me. I mean, this is the only opportunity I’ll ever get to be right here in this moment right now. There won’t be a sequel. There won’t even be a re-run. This is it. From here out I will be sure to make the best of every second I have left. It won’t be easy considering all the distractions, but I won’t forget the time I lost while I was getting here. More importantly; I won’t forget the time it will take to get to where I want to be."

Nifty ActiveRecord methods you may or may not have known about.

I was browsing through the Rails RDocs today to get some background on a method I wanted to use and happened to notice a couple of methods I had never even seen before that look pretty handy.

Maybe I’m way behind the curve here, so if you know about these then good work. Otherwise, maybe my pointing them out will help bring them out of obscurity and into more use. Without further ado:

Person.maximum(‘age’) => 93

Person.minimum(‘age’) => 7

Pretty good. Pret-ty, pret-ty, pret-ty good.

Find these and some other helpful methods for doing database calculations here http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Calculations/ClassMethods.html#M002187

"Here’s the thing. It doesn’t matter how much money you have, how great your credit rating is, how many cars you have, how many square feet your house is, how impressive your job title is, we all end up dead anyway. Given that; how much fun would you say you’re having?"
