05:37 <injekt> How would I go about doing something like.. Posts.filter(:user.username => 'something') where user would be an associated model

05:40 <manveru> injekt: User[:username].posts

05:40 <manveru> err

05:40 <manveru> injekt: User[username: 'something'].posts

05:41 <injekt> Oh duh.. what the hell was I thinking

05:41 <injekt> Thanks, manveru

06:11 <merboutpost> Hi if I want to restrict setting some of the member varibales ( calling the setter) I should use set_restricted_columns?

07:59 <jeremyevans> merboutpost: I recommend using Model#set_only or Model#set_except on a per call basis, but set_restricted_columns should work for a global setting

08:00 <merboutpost> jeremyevans: thanks

08:47 <josh0x0> ok i have the method `def before_save; self.last_modified = Time.now; end` and i clearly have a last_modified column in my schema. but i'm getting "no such column". there must be something obvious that i'm missing

09:10 <josh0x0> nvm, the obvious soln was not to override the [], []= methods
