 The Enumerable class in Rails contains a method named 'group_by'. This method is pure magic for a developer's point of view. I'll give you a simple example that shows the power of group_by.

 +++
 In this example I'll show you how easy it is to sort an array of (the same kind of) objects by an attribute. Let's say you have an array of User objects that have the attributes 'name' and 'login_count'. First, find all users.
 
+``` ruby
 @users = User.find(:all)
+```
 
 Now, we have to sort this array by 'name'. Since we don't know if any user used capitals in his name or not, we use 'downcase' to sort without case sensitivity.
 
 A small not. 'sort' returns a new array and leaves the original unchanged. You may want to just reorder the @users array, so use the 'sort!' method. The '!' indicates it's a destructive method. It will overwrite the current @users array with the new sorting.
 
+``` ruby
 @users.sort! { |a,b| a.name.downcase <=> b.name.downcase }
+```
 
 That's all! Since strings are comparable, this will sort you user objects alphabetically by name. Want to sort on login_count instead?
 
+``` ruby
 @users.sort! { |a,b| a.login_count <=> b.login_count }
+```
 
 So, now you can easily sort any object in an array just like you want it too!

 A few weeks ago I posted <a href="http://ariejan.net/2007/03/27/rails-tip-snippet-create-a-comma-seperate-list/">an article</a> that explained how to create a comma separated list from a hash of objects.

 What this little bugger does is create a human readable, comma separated list of items in an array or hash. But the big difference here is that you can specify what the last separator must be. By default this is set to 'and'. See the following example.
-<pre lang="ruby">@users = User.find(:all)
-@users.collect {|u| u.firstname}.to_sentence
-=> "Tom, Dick, and Harry"</pre>
-Of you course, you can specify the last separator, called the connector. Also it's possible to not show the last comma.
-<pre lang="ruby">@users.collect {|u| u.firstname}.to_sentence(:connector => "and of course,", :skip_last_comma => true)
-=> "tom, Dick and of course, Harry"</pre>
-I bet this will greatly simplify the way you list names, tags, categories or whatever else you want summed up in a comma separated list with a human touch.

 Although the messages says that the commit failed, it has not. A simple 'svn update' will merge the changes you made to the repository to your working copy again and you're good to go.
 
 So, what is the problem here? Are you by any chance running Trac? Did you install the post-commit hook to integrate Subversion with Trac? Right, so did I.

 So, I investigated and found that by default ProFTPD tries to revolve the hostname of the client in order to put that in the logs instead of a plain IP address. This lookup can take quite some time, let's say 5 to 10 seconds, especially when the look up fails and you have to wait on a time-out.
 
 It's easy to stop ProFTPD from behaving like this by adding the following line to your proftpd.conf in /etc/proftpd:
-<pre lang="text">IdentLookups off</pre>
-Restart ProFTPD and you'll have a fast FTP connection to enjoy!
