Rails ActiveRecord::Base missing find_all_by_date_range

Posted on Friday, February 6, 2009 in Just for fun, Ruby on Rails, Software, Web Design Tools, Web Tools, Work

Hello everyone,
A current project I am working on required finding records within a certain date range. Many other projects I have worked on also required something similar. So, I decided to create a Rails gem to handle this. The gem is available on GitHub. http://github.com/timmatheson/find-all-by-date-range/tree/master

Install

Usage:

I hope this helps anyone else needing this feature of ActiveRecord::Base.

Best regards,

Tim Matheson

I love the Windows Vista Aero Flip3D feature, but unfortunately I have to stick with Windows XP for software reasons. TopDesk is a great little tool that will give you the features of Aero Flip3D on Windows XP and more. TopDesk features several different rotate modes, flip styles, color customization, window labels, and more. There is also a feature to quickly show the desktop by placing all your windows at the bottom edge of the screen (F11). You can ALT+Tab to view a vertical view of all open windows.

Keyboard Shorcut tips

  • ALT+TAB = Flip, Grid, Spatial (Depending on settings)
  • F11 = Minimize your Windows (toggle) works great.
  • Tip : Use the mouse wheel to scroll through windows when in tile mode.

Got a favorite piece of software you think would go great with TopDesk? Send me a Tip to tips@timmatheson.com
