This is a project for tracking myself. The things I should do, don't do, wish I did, etc.

"Bugs" are things that I don't like that I aim to change. They can be given by anyone at "failin.gs" email, or submitted in person. (nailbiting and the like)

"Chores" are things that I need to do that don't add business value directly. (unimportant meetings, cleaning the gutters)

"Features" are things that do add business value, ie. things that I enjoy, improve my skills, and benefit my relationships with others.

There are two complications to using this project management system for this that I can predict now:

For some reason, neither of the following get the behavior I expected: 
FileUtils.cp_r 'src/*', 'dest'
`cp -r src/* dest`

I need a period, not an asterisk.

From the docs:
FileUtils.cp_r 'src/.', 'dest'     
# cp_r('src', 'dest') makes src/dest, but this doesn't.

Remember to set the parent model with all the attributes.  There is no table for the sub models.

Ugh part one. From
http://code.alexreisner.com/articles/single-table-inheritance-in-rails.html

Overwrite the child models' model_name method:
def self.model_name
  name = "vehical"
  name.instance_eval do
    def plural;   pluralize;   end

request.request_uri

When I can't figure it out, for too long, it's usually one of these things.

Forget to include a file
Forget to load a library
Forget to call the executed code
Compare with "=" instead of "=="
Misspell variable names
Misspell method names
Forget to migrate
Call the wrong database
