Off To FeedBurner; Me vs. Car

So, I switched the feeds here over to FeedBurner, mainly in hopes of getting Google to finally get that my site is not just a collection of empty RSS2 files. Yeesh.

In other news, I got hit by a car last Thursday night. I’m fine, really: missing some skin on my knee and elbow, but my rib right below my right pec hurts like hell. I don’t know if I pulled a muscle or cracked a rib, but the pain is a nuisance, not a grinding horror, so I figure I just try not to get hit by cars until it gets better. Yeah, that’s my health plan these days. Duck and cover.

In other news, the search plugin I’ve spent so much time on recently is about done. It’s cleaner than hell, does a decent job of ranking results, plays very nicely with associations, and uses only two database queries per model. It’s wonderfully extensible, rather compact, and requires that you use Rails Edge (soon to be 1.1!). I will post more details perhaps this weekend.

Until then, remember: that car does not see you and will not signal or otherwise indicate its intention to merge right over your ass.
