Tell Your Mana About Obama, and Obama Car Art

Obama's Potential Presidency

There is plenty of excitement around Barack Obama's potential presidency, and I think there's a lot to be excited about. There's is an overwhelming feeling among people I talked to in San Francsisco, how Obama is "Our President" — not a poster boy for old money or a powerful family. The fact that the Internet fund-raising helped Obama to compete and win against the Clinton clan is a testament to the truly new era, a more democratic one, where if someone can fire up a lot of people they can rally up quckly and effectively. This efficiency is something to look forward to, if and when Obama becomes a President.

Whether or not all the people behind Obama will continue to support him, is another question. People tend to idealize their heroes way to quickly, and that's also dangerous. The recent backlash of liberal bloggers about Obama's compromise vote — is a great example. Politics is still politics, and nobody ever gets their way all the time. Everyone must compromise at some point.

But enough said, I think that overall Obama is a great candidate, and will hopefully bring a new fresh perspective into the Washington. So, how do we get there? Well, donating money is, for once, a very easy thing to do thanks to http://barackobama.com. But now there are other ways.

Car Art Contest

Infectious.com (the company I work for) is running an open contest for Car Art Submissions around Obama. There are some restrictions - some specific words can not be used, but it's an amazing opportunity for artists around United States to create Obama Car Art that can be seen by thousands of people commuting daily in the next few months before the election. This is as grass roots as it gets.

If you know any artists that may be interested please send them to Infectious. Or you can grab the banner above and put it up on your blog. Either way - thank you!

Car or Auto Make-Model-Year Database : For Breakfast

Make Model What? If you like me were tasked with loading a database of recent car makes/models/years, you would start by looking on the web and seeing if someone else just has it out there, readily available, hopefully for free, but perhaps for a tiny nominal fee.? If only it was that simple... I looked and looked, and couldn't find anything that would fit the above requirements. So I thought, who would know about US car models better than Kelly Blue Book? So I went on their site, and sure enough they have a javascript file that lists all known to them makes and models of used cars. Since the file is public, I figured it's not really "evil" if I scrape and parse it for my own benefit. Disagree? Have a better source? Then leave a comment. Anyway, to cut the long story short, I'm hoping to save a day or so to someone else who may, like me, be looking for this information. The ruby module shown below retrieves and parses the javascript from KBB site into

On Ruby on Rails with PostgreSQL, and Acts as Paranoid

Back a few years ago I was researching differences between PostgreSQL and MySQL databases, and chose PostgreSQL because at the time it supported foreign key constraints and many other fantastic SQL extensions that make developer's life a lot easier. Today I am sure MySQL is just as functional as PostgreSQL, and it does appear to be a more popular choice as the Rails DB than MySQL. I still prefer PostgreSQL, it just feels more natural to me coming out of Oracle background, so I am probably biased (who isn't?) Anyway, in the last year and a half or so, I've been writing Rails apps that use PG-based databases and found a few random tricks I'd love to share here. Opinions differ here, but just like accountants like the ancient double entry accounting system, I personally prefer a double validation system - where Rails validates my objects before/after updates, but the database double checks this using proper constraints. Rail's validation system is very robust and exte

Getting RMagic and friends to work on OS-X Mountain Lion

Upgraded my ruby environment today to Mountain Lion. Here is a quick checklist that I went through to get everything working.  The largest change was having to reinstall XCode and command line tools, and also download XQuarts in order to reinstall ImageMagick successfully. Without it, I was getting errors building RMagick of the following shape: ld: file not found: /usr/lib/libltdl.7.dylib for architecture x86_64 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) make: *** [RMagick2.bundle] Error 1 Quick checklist: Install Mountain Lion Install XCode 4.4 Install command line tools from XCode 4.4 Preferences dialog Install XQuartz In terminal run brew update brew uninstall imagemagick brew install --fresh imagemagick wipe out your ~/.rvm folder reinstall RVM and install the latest ruby 1.9.3-p-194 run "bundle" in the project folder run "rake" and rejoice References: https://github.com/mroth/lolcommits/issu
