extraterrestrialicious web apps

I wrote a couple of Rails Plugins. These are bits of code that you can use inside the Ruby on Rails web development framework.

DNSBL_Check

A plugin that enables you to check for spammers and mis-users of your web application. This one checks every incoming request against DNS Blackhole Lists.

Elfproef

This Ruby on Rails plugin adds a validation method for Dutch bank account numbers. These can be validated using the so-called Elfproef.

Gimme A Break

This plugin adds a way to throttle ActiveRecord creation. Add gimme_a_break to your model to enable the throttling. It will then not be possible to create models in quick succession.

Capistrano Transmit

Plugin for the Capistrano app deployment system. This allows you to fetch and put the production database. You want to do this quite often to catch missing indexes and squash any bugs that only typically happen on production environments, such as unforeseen input errors.
