Morning Discussion

How is everyone doing today? There's a change or two in the air, but we're glad to have you guys and gals with us. I think what would kick the day off nicely would an in-chatty contest that everyone can take part in. We know that the Shacknews, it gets you chicks... and if you've noticed the banner at the top of the page, there's that and many more fine quotes. But what other one-line phrases can you suggest that represent Shacknews? Reply here, and to make it fun, one random submitter will win a copy of Savage 2: A Tortured Soul.

One chance for Savage 2 not good enough? Then don't forget you have three more chances with our other, slightly more involved contest for the creative types.

So I spent a bit of time with No More Heroes yesterday and continue to really enjoy it. Just made it to the fifth rank, and let me tell you the battle for it was pretty mind blowing. And I also got a gold medal in lawn mowing! :( Oh god, I just played a lawn mowing mini game. Someone hold me.

In the ShackBlog today, we mourn and celebrate lost games:































  • Live Free or Die Hard

    So, just watched that finally...the "Unrated" version. I really didn't like it that much. From the standpoint of it being a action flick, then yeah it was fucking insane...but from the standpoint of this being a Die Hard film...I don't know. Of course once we went to Die Hard 2 and 3 it got really fucking crazy stupid anyways so its not really the idea of me "suspending disbelief" or any of that. More its just John McClaine is now John Terminator Robocop Rambo.

    A few things that annoyed me. Justin Long...some people said they liked him in this....I fucking wanted him to die from the moment I saw him. People talked shit about Transformers and its product placement but I felt this was just as bad. The entire nerd/techno crap just reminded me of how shitty Transformers nerd techno babble was too.

    I did think Maggie Q was super hot. I thought the action was crazy...but I guess I didn't find it that enthralling.

  • rails help plz

    I'm trying to understand all the REST routing stuff. Specifically adding routes to registration and sign in/out pages for a user controller. I'm currently using:

     map.resources :users, :collection => { :login=> :get } 


    Since the user will GET and POST to the login form should I include both verbs? What about for a registration page? Should the registration form be both GET and POST or should it use the REST-y post to /users to register?

    Also any links to Rails 2 specific documentation would be appreciated - it seems like everything I read is for 1.2 or earlier.
