Paperclip before_process For Your Habitual Pornographic Needs
Ok, so say you built yourself a handy dandy little webapp for organizing all the porno pics you ripped from google image search, you know, since you live alone in your parents basement and all.

Disabling Paperclip asset timestamp keeps you from committing genocide
Know what’s frustrating? Having a flash app that pulls xml from a controller not function. What’s even more frustrating is finding out it’s because of asset timestamp caching.

RubyOnRails Seed_fu and Paperclip woes
If you aren’t aware of Seed_fu, it’s a fantastic plugin for RubyOnRails that allows you to populate your database with data, not with yaml files, but with code. Paperclip is an attachment plugin, which, in my opinion, dominates over attachment_fu.
