Self-referencial habtm relationship
Heyo!

Relationship Question (STI)
My girlfriend and I have been dating for two years, and she just told me she has an STI... Actually, I currently have three different models, like: Dog, Whale, Monkey They all have some similar attributes, but, they are unique enough to break into their own models.

What do I need to learn Ruby, Rails, JavaScript, AJAX?
So I''ve sort of come to the conclusion that if I wanna get stuff done, I need to either A) Find some dang money and pay people to do it or B) Do it myself. I''m opting for B. Soooo...now I''ve got some programming/technologies to learn. I''m self-employed and I can afford to take a month (or 2) off to totally immerse myself in this and learn how to do it.

I have the rails recipes book and i was going through the migrations recipe. Everything seemed to work except for the last part in trying to do a rake migrate with a migration file version 1 and the schema_info version set to 0.

RJS templates outputting bloated code?
I''m an RJS newbie. I just did the tutorial at http://www.codyfauser.com/articles/2005/11/20/rails-rjs-templates, and then used wget to look at the output the RJS template generates.

ROR Recipes Beta
Yesterday I got the beta version of ROR recipes book and the recipes are great. For those of you still thinking about it, I highly recommend the book. The only thing I wish is that if there were some more recipes (greedy me), especially AJAX related and installing an application within your current application. For instance, it will be great to see how one can implement the typo blog
