shazam

I might be terribly late on this one but it’s so ridiculously ill I just had to make a post. Shazam is a truly amazing music discovery engine! I just checked it out on my iPhone and it recognized about 2/3 of the songs I played (and I did not make it easy for it…)

It’s available for different mobiles and of course the mighty iPhone (in the app store)

njoy!

Street Art: Joshua Allen Harris

now how awesome is that.

I intended to write “well…only in NY” and that made me think, why can this happen only in NY. Well the obvious answer is that NY has a lot of artists, but that’s not really it. I mean, Munich has a lot of artists too, but I dare to say that such street art would either be removed by police or destroyed by some jerks.

I dont know..maybe I am just too fed up with this city…

quick AJAX search with Ruby on Rails

Put this in your view to add an AJAX search.

This will send a request to your search-method every time the user types sth. in the search field (the field is checked once per second here).

element_id is the id of the element (div, table) to be updated. If your familiar with RoR basics, the rest should be obvious.

If your running a rather big app you should definitely think about reducing the frequency in the observe_field and/or caching the search results somewhere (in your model for exampleread this) to avoid your database of being queried all the time (once per second in this example).


<% form_tag :id => "search" do -%>
<%= text_field_tag('search_field, params[:query], :autocomplete => "off" ) %>
<% end -%>

<%= observe_field 'search_field_activities', :frequency => 1,
:update => "element_id",
:url =>{:controller => "your_controller", :action => "search" },
:with => "query" %>
