Oh! I have a good idea. I need to quickly add a new feature on my movie database app.

Why can't I access my raspberry pi? [5 mins of troubleshooting]
...Oh darn, router has apparently changed the pi's IP address. Well, no biggie.
[random setting file editing]

Ooh! #RubyLang 4.0 is apparently out.
[rvm furiously compiling for 10+ minutes]
...Might as well upgrade to #RubyOnRails 8.1 while I'm at it, doesn't look like a massive change.
[hit da button to make bundler redownload a whole bunch of gems for ages and I don't even know if it's successful yet but I hope so]

...right, where the hell was I?

I spent a considerable time fixing up the Ruby install.

Fortunately the development time for the actual feature went much, much smoother.

Basically I wanted to make the #DVD / #BluRay database export a complete list of discs as #OpenDocument spreadsheet, for smoother printing 'n' stuff.

The actual part of adding that feature was actually pretty easy. Just had to learn about the respond_to mechanics a bit and use rodf to generate the ODS file. As we say here in Rails land, "whoops, done". (Well the ODS file looks ugly, but it will suffice for now.)
