I love the recent shift from dynamic sites to static sites. This doesn’t work for all sites. But why have a blog that gets dynamically build on each request. It’s Not needed.

Amazon will host static sites on an S3 bucket and its dead simple. Awesome!

1. Create a bucket and set as public host.
2. Upload files and make them public.
3. Profit.

rails console
require "db/migrate/20121130134444_add_column_backorder_to_orders.rb"
AddColumnBackorderToOrders.up

Date.parse '2013/1/15'

DateTime.parse('2013/1/15'+'-23:59:59-6:00')

I like to set default values in my models. This is the method I like to use.

def after_initialize
  if new_record?
    self.upper_quantity ||= 0.0
  end
end

Everytime my server looses power, Mongo has trouble restarting. These commands fixes the problem.

sudo rm /var/lib/mongodb/mongod.lock

sudo -u mongodb mongod -f /etc/mongodb.conf --repair
sudo service mongodb restart
