- use SomeModel.record_timestamps = false to stop active record setting timestamps - use before_save / before_create callbacks (or override save) to set your own timestamps - continue overriding transaction in order to get your start of transaction timestamp. The reason for this slightly different strategy is that it means you're only overriding public methods, so their api will remain stable (or at least go through the usual deprecation cycle) across versions of active record.
