"Suggestion of Demeter" by Doug

Jim, could you comment on using delegation vs. Jay’s Presenter Pattern?

The delegation gives you the option of changing the underlying implementation without effecting clients of the current object. Without the delegation, your options are more limited.

In our current project there was some disagreement about using delegation on one of the models. In the end, the delegation greatly helped turn a nearly impossible refactoring into a merely painful but certainly doable refactoring.

Although I’m not a proponent of blindly following demeter, I think it using it correctly can be a big help in keeping the design flexible.

Yeah, the script link is broken, and if you don’t want to send the trailing newline, you can send a ^M (ctrl+v then hit enter) and it works as well

The http://lathi.net/files/start-screen.sh link doesn’t seem to work.

"Simple Expense Tracking with Google Docs" by eric

Hmmm… I dare say we already give way too much info to Google. They’ll never see any of my “expense tracking”.

As usual with Google, it seems like a good idea though! :(

I ran into a similar situation back in January... Mine was even trickier, though, since the production environment could stay up for a month before the bug would be triggered. Congrats on tracking it down.
