I have moved the BeOS open source survey to the “BeOS”:/beos page.

• The Girl From Tomorrow
• Mirror, Mirror
• Round the Twist

Does anyone remember anything else?

It is still early days for them but give them some time and I am sure they will start causing trouble… hmm I hope it won’t be long before I join in with the fun!

class Users
  belongs_to :province
  has_and_belongs_to_many :selected_provinces, :class_name => "Province"
end

I could very easily find out which provinces a user had selected and also which users had selected a specific province. However I didn’t realise that if I accessed a user via the province then the province_id which previously pointed the user’s address province was replaced by the id of the selected province.

province = Province.find_first
province.users.each do |user|
  # do something
  # however user.province_id now points to province
end

I assume the province_id is added by the habtm join so that we can understand which selected_province object this user object comes from however in my case it meant that I lost the original province_id and so if I saved that user then I would end up changing the address province.

This is probably not a bug as such but something that should be watched out for as it took me a while to discover this problem with my application.

I searched and I searched and I found a forum with someone looking for the same thing as me, but they were told that it was perhaps “Magic Mountain”.

Somehow though, I managed to find the book and so I place this information in the google archives just in case someone else is searching for it

The author was Sheila K. McCullagh and the first book was called *Tim and Tobias ~ Magic in the Wind*. I also discovered a website called “Tim and the Hidden People” (which is where I probably found this missing book) and can be found at “www.timandthehiddenpeople.moonfruit.com”:http://www.timandthehiddenpeople.moonfruit.com/
