scraplab — Using Geoplanet Data in Ruby on Rails
by karlcow
Geoplanet is a database of 5.4 million places in a hierarchy. Each entry has a unique, permanent ID (WOEID), a name and a place type. For example, Homerton (20089379) is a Suburb in the London Borough of Hackney (12695808), which is a LocalAdmin in London (44418), which is a Town in Greater London (23416974), and so on.

Rails vs Grails vs Django models - Peter Krantz
by karlcow
in Rails, parts of the model design is actually stored in the database schema instead of in the Ruby code. I have started adding comments in the Rails model classes to be able to remember what properties they have without peeking in the Db. Typically I have a number of half-baked projects on my laptop and from time to time I forget what they do and these comments help me remember.
