WheresMyStuff 0.4.1r

After an evening of hacking with ruby on rails, the skeleton version:

* allows you to create and delete loans
* remembers you (there's no login, you can login as any name just by going to the right url)
* is deployed to heroku.com

But doesn't:

* Do any authentication on login, or log out, or anything
* Store loans immutably (the original version didn't delete loan records, but had a "transaction" table which tracked "loan created" and "loan returned" events, and the default view only shows loans which had one but not the other, which I will redo -- the current version just deletes a record)
* Allow you to distinguish between users with the same name
* Allow you to link someone else's version of your name to your account
* Run on Heroku without crashing (none of the interactive pages display correctly yet, although the static home page displays)

Gainful employment Party Gathering on Friday (day after tomorrow, June 17th)

A reminder that a Party Gathering to commemorate my continued employment, (and other generally good stuff without a clear chronological anniversery) is THIS FRIDAY from about 8 _post meridiem_.

Please come if you like!

(Apologies for duplication to people who already said they can't come, no need to reply)

Is anyone still planning to come from out of Cambridge and would like crashspace? The spare bed is unfortunately already taken, but there is a sofa and I may be able to find a friend to offer somewhere if needed.

Yay for heroku. The app seems to run correctly. It's not in a usable state -- there's no login, and the database will probably still be wiped with each update, but I'm pleased to see that rails makes even a basic "add this, delete that" elegant.
