Rebecca’s Ramblings

Hmmm, after lots of time spent writing things like

item = Item.new
item.date = "#{params[:item]['date(1i)']}-#{params[:item]['date(2i)']}-#{params[:item]['date(3i)']}"

I’ve accidentally found out that Item.new(params[:item]) is clever enough to see these 3 parameters, know that they’re from a date_select, and combine them to form a date.

The Rails API for the date_select method specifies this now. I’m fairly sure it didn’t a while back…

Got rid of my old, very out-of-date and outdated website and replaced it with a nice blogging system. More stuff should be appearing as I work out how to do things like link in my photos, and so on.
