		<title>Mimicking Rails 3&#8217;s ActiveRecord query interface in Rails 2.x</title>
		<description><![CDATA[NOTICE: This is only for educational and fun purposes, nothing else. I'm not trying to say that you'll get all the pros of the new query interface in Rails 2.x, it isn't even close.

		<title>MUSh, a multi-service URL shortener in Ruby</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have to tell the truth, I'm really lazy, if there is a way to avoid to do something I will do so. 
What about avoiding to open a browser or create a new tab and click a bookmark or type the address of a URL shortener service when I want to shorten a URL? [...]]]></description>

		<title>git submodules statistics in the terminal prompt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I'm working in projects with submodules and I make a change in one of the submodules I have to go to every submodule directory to review the changes, some times I didn't make any change in a submodule but my memory is not that smart to know that and it's a waste of time.

		<title>nil, nil?, true and false in Ruby</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A friend of mine I'm teaching Ruby to asked me just a few days ago about the difference between nil and false and nil and nil? in Ruby. I gave him a very short answer:
&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;nil = null
&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;false = boolean value
&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;nil? is a method

		<title>[Ruby Idioms] What is the splat/unary/asterisk operator useful for?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Long story short: the splat operator is useful to explode and flatten arrays and hashes (enumerables).
Doesn't sound like something powerful, does it?
Code is worth a thousand words.
1. Passing a variable number of arguments to a method

Let's get started with an hypothetical method called ActiveRecord::Base#find. Please, don't care about the functionality but the method signature.

		<description><![CDATA[Using RVM to switch ruby versions is really awesome, but I've found myself issuing ruby -v a lot of times because sometimes I have terminals with 1.8 and others with 1.9 and I need to know which version a given terminal is running , so I ended putting the current ruby version in the terminal title.
