02/09/2010: Rails Tip - How Do I See Params From My Forms?

I like to document what my forms are sending to my action methods. So most of the time, I create a method in my controller like this: 
def to_export
  render :text => params.inspect
end
Then I use copy and paste to put the result into my code as a comment. 
# {
#   "commit"=>"Upload File",
#   "authenticity_token"=>"17FvBH+Z4Meni6WvsCdPByrrk751BV9mNklzKDAo2Vc=",
#   "action"=>"do_import",
#   "import_criteria"=>{
#     "primary_language_name"=>"Creole",
#     "secondary_language_name"=>"English"
#   },
#   "form"=>{
#     "file"=>"traveling_haiti.txt"
#   },
#   "controller"=>"import"
# }

02/08/2010: Another Fix for EMAIL not authorized to access APP

I wanted to change the primary email associated with my Heroku account. So I removed the email from the authorization list. The next time I pulled from git, I got the following error:

heroku@david-medinets.otherinbox.com not authorized to access crisiscamp-translation
The email address is pulled from your public/private keys which can be recreated using the following command: 
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C EMAIL
