Fustrations

I have started a new project and it was decided that we should use authlogic with Rails 3. Man, I am having a brutal time getting it going.

The scaffold generators and all that stuff keep breaking on "attributes="

Slacking

I have been slacking on this as of late. I have two pending posts that need some work and more thought before they go up. The first is centered around prototypes being pushed to production systems. The second is on Git / JIRA / Hudson integration and a few ways that I have seen or helped to knit them together.

Stayed tuned and I hope to have them up this week.

Formatting a 1.6gb XML file

At work today, a client gave me a 1.6gb XML file that I needed to format. Of course they didn't do anything as nice as use line breaks. None, anywhere... Being a hardcore VIM user, I looked up an easy way to sort out the file with indents and tags. Thanks to Justin Kempton I found this: Pretty XML

It works faster then the other VIM plug-ins that I have found and of course is written in easy to modify VIM code.
