def current_time_from_proper_timezone
  self.class.default_timezone == :utc ? Time.now.utc : Time.now
end

#touch(attribute = nil) ⇒ Object

Saves the record with the updated_at/on attributes set to the current time. If the save fails because of validation errors, an ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid exception is raised. If an attribute name is passed, that attribute is used for the touch instead of the updated_at/on attributes.

Examples:

product.touch # updates updated_at product.touch(:designed_at) # updates the designed_at attribute
