There was a problem on my site for a while where certain categories on my Typo install were just redirecting to an old school listing of files like when there is no index page in a folder. It bugged me for a while, until I thought about how Rails does its routing of URLs. More after the jump.

This week’s law talks about knowing your rival. I recently used the same advice to make myself better for a position. More after the jump.
I’ve been mulling an idea around in my head for the past week. I can’t seem to sleep without thinking about it (which usually means I need to build something). Rails migrations are pretty easy to get your head around. They add all of the benefits of being able to keep database changes under version control and let you work with a team while doing it, among other things. Can we make creating these migrations even easier? How about a web app to create, modify, and manage migrations? I think that’s what I need to create, if only for my sanity, but hopefully it will be useful for someone else too.
This week’s law is great. I’ve always heard from people, “It’s better to catch flies with honey…” and, “A spoonful of sugar…” These sayings all get to the core of what people respond to: something sweet for them. More after the jump.
Prosper: Thanks to the magic of the internet, you can now lend money or request money in the form of a loan. You set the interest rate, you take the benefits. I think of it as P2P banking. I wish I had thought of it. I’ll be watching these guys with interest to see how they do. Makes me wonder what other “old” things can be made new again with P2P in front of it.
