If you’re like me, you never real got into spectator sports. Maybe it was the jock-induced swirlies or maybe it was the pointlessness of ball-based games, but I couldn’t give two shot puts about the Olympics. Thankfully, there’s the Olwinpics Blocker from FFFFF.at.

This plugin turns all mentions of the Olympics into soothing, bright primary colors. It works on Chrome, Firefox, and Safari and works a treat. For example, the image above is how I see this post: Olympics, olympics. Olympics!

The project took two hours to build but will save you days of olympic overdose pain. Olympics!

i trying parameter validation outside of rails. def create_statement(action, ...) valid_one_of(action, ['add', 'move', 'delete']) ... end validation method: def valid_one_of(input, valid_values) return true if valid_values.include?(input) raise "#{input} not valid value #{input.var_name}" end sample call: create_statement('bob') so output be: bob not valid value action the problem how input.var_name ? i workaround pass valid_one_of(action, ['add', 'move', 'delete'], 'action') (and use 3rd parm output) doesn't seem feels bit redundant. if not possible access variable name there more dry coding style workaround? i don't know of way name of local variable, , if could, name want? name of parameter define on method definition? name of variable in caller? i don't think "work-around" horrible, suggest couple of slight variations might read littl...
