[Ruby] unless block on one line

[ben wiseley]

On this topic ... is there a better way to do things like this where Contact
is just a straight class (doesn't inherit from anything like Model)

    @contact = Contact.new
    @contact.name = params[:contact][:name]
    @contact.email = params[:contact][:email]
    @contact.subject = params[:contact][:subject]
    @contact.message = params[:contact][:message]

Anything like "update_attributes" for normal classes?
