The bort link is borked, chaps.

Should be http://github.com/fudgestudios/bort/tree/master

Howdo! Unfortunately, the link to bort is, um… borked.

They should be

http://github.com/fudgestudios/bort/tree/master http://github.com/MattHall/bort/tree/master

Dammit Jim!

Dunno if you were kidding or not, but cache_fu will reset_cache—which will return the previous cache results and then refresh the cache in the background.

The ‘hot cache’ was inspired in part by the fire_and_forget method detailed here:

It’s definitely possible to do ‘hot caching’ with the built in rails caching support, although Merb’s run_later and worker queue makes it much less expensive. However, keeping the controllers agnostic to the caching strategy (action vs. page) would require a lot more work, AFAIK.

btw, it is possible to get realtime’y, autotest’ish feedback on code quality & metrics:

I am following the both of you since the first podcast. Great job. I am always monitoring your rss feed to download the latest podcast into my cell phone. Thanks, even though I read most of the podcats’s contents during the prior week, it’s always fun to hear the sum up of Ruby events with your own personal touch.

Thanks, your job is really appreciated.

Cheers from Argentina.

Thanks for the heads up about the links guys, I think I’ve got them fixed.

Thanks for the links Ben, I’ll check it out.

Lucas, glad you like the podcast, thanks for commenting! We don’t get a lot of feedback from our listeners so it’s great when someone stops by.

Again with the https … why????

Thanks guys, slight errata though, Ara Howard did most of the work on Terminator. I did some speccing, made some suggestions, documented it and gave it a name :)

I think you got the Bort reference wrong. It’s the Itchy & Scratchyland episode when Bart’s trying to find his name on a license plate.

As Daryl mentioned, Bort is a reference to said episode.

Although I like Jason’s take on it haha.

Jim: Sorry about the https, I’ve told Jason about the issue and fixed it here.

Mikel: Thanks for the correction, do you think that’s worth correcting on the podcast?

Daryl & Jim: I still think we should have just stuck with the Swedish chef.
