simple_nested_form_for - awesome
I love simple_form. Big ups to the plataformatec guys (get it here). It makes writing forms in rails a breeze. Great control and really easy to style up.
I also love ryanb’s nested_form. Again, it makes complex forms so much easier to create.
Today I had the need to use both simple_form and nested_form. And how awesome is this: simple_nested_form.
It’s shit like this that makes my day.

“Absolutely brilliant. This is a perfect example of creating a parallel of great interaction and imaginative design - between the icons-as-function and menu, the whole app feels so natural and focused.”
Rock climbing & jquery.multi-select.js
After years of being intrigued by Ferg’s Rock and Kayak, I’ve finally climbed the wall. Again, big ups to Adventure Wellington for organising (meetups is a wonderful thing). 10 minutes to show us the ropes (pun intended) and then we we’re let loose! As a first timer, I’m pretty chuffed at getting up and over a couple of overhanging walls. Choice.
Earlier in the day, I found the nicest looking multi-select jquery plugin. jquery.multi-select.js by (frenchman?) Louis Cuny was easy to add to a Rails 3.1 project I’m in the middle of, and, best of all, it looks really nice. I like.
Good job Lou (fork him on Github).
Adventure Wellington - Wellington Zoo
We’ve recently joined this fantastic meetup group. A good bunch of people from all over the place: kiwis, brits, canadians, yanks, serbians, australians… Mostly, we’ve been going to the walking meetups but last Friday night was a sleepover at the zoo. 60 adults partaking in kids activities at the zoo. Awesome.
Without a doubt, the hilight of the event was getting up close to the lions.
Other hilights were the new meerkat enclosure (and catching a good look at a new baby meerkat just a few days old) and the blue-tounged lizard.
Good on you Adventure Wellington. Good times!
