Then you want something like

def status=(value)
new_value = do_something_to(value)
self[:status] = new_value # assuming this class is derived from AR

The reason your attempt to do status = value didn’t work is that it was
just calling the same method.

Aaaah. Or course! You can omit the parantheses in ruby method call.
Thanks heaps for pointing me this out.
