similar to: formatting numbers with commas

Hi all: i am using gem to insall rails 2.3.3 and using $rails myapp to generate my application, but strangely i can''t use the number_helper below is my env: export RUBY_HOME=$HOME/ruby export GEM_HOME=$HOME/gems export RUBYLIB=$RUBY_HOME/lib:$RUBY_HOME/lib/ruby:$RUBY_HOME/lib/ site_ruby/1.8 export PATH=$HOME/gems/bin:$HOME/ruby/bin: and: $ locate number_helper.rb

I''m facing a situation where I am going to have to integrate with a legacy database , specifically the IBM UniVerse database, which is not *quite* relational.

Hi all! I can''t post to this list from my regular gmail account. I receive fine, but whenever I send mail, no joy. Any ideas?

Hey folks A long time ago, before i started working at this company, we used a Beast forum. The beast code (models, controllers and views) were all just lumped in with our app code, but when we moved to a new version (about a year and a half ago) the forum section of our site was closed off (simply by not linking to it anywhere). I''ve been tasked with resurrecting it, and the first
