Collective Idea's Awesomeness
=============================
 
A collection of stuff that we use often, but not generic enough to go in another plugin.
 
If you've stumbled across this and love/hate it, let us know!
 
== Core Extensions
 
* Object#tap (http://moonbase.rydia.net/mental/blog/programming/eavesdropping-on-expressions)
 
* String#widont to make typography nicer (http://shauninman.com/archive/2006/08/22/widont_wordpress_plugin)
 
* Array#uniq with a block
 
  >> %w(the cow jumped over the moon).uniq {|s| s.length }
  => ["the", "jumped", "over"]
 
* Round floats to the nearest x
 
  >> 5.38475.round(0.5)
  => 5.5
 
* Hash goodies
 
  >> {:a => [1,3,4], :b => [2,5]}.without(:a => 1)
  => {:a => [3,4], :b => [2,5]}
 
  >> {:a => "", :b => nil, :c => 1}.compact
  => {:c => 1}
 
* And more…
 
== Rails Helpers
 
* Unicode TextHelper additions that change the default truncate & excerpt string to an elipsis (…) instead of just three periods (...)
 
* Add widont to textilize methods
 
* Transparent removal of trailing slashes in URLs
 
== Rake Tasks
 
== Capistrano Recipes
 
* Use :remote_cache by default
 
* Disable and enable web during restarts
 
* Run deploy:cleanup after deploys
 
* Backups
