They weren''t as far as I know. But maybe they should be soon. It looks like the Today Show (a morning show on NBC in the US) is doing a "Live for Today" segment, basically the same thing that 43 Things is doing. Maybe someone from Robot Coop should let them know about 43 Things. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7225307/ -Lee

I''m trying to implement something in my app akin to 43things'' main page, where more active topics are bigger than the less active topics. The difference in my app is that I''m building a business-oriented app and want to have a list of clients, where clients with recent activity are larger than others. My perhaps too-clever way of going abo...

I''m not sure this is the appropriate community to get objective unbiased feedback on this issue, but I suppose it''s worth a gander... Here''s my question: Is it possible to write a massively scalable application intented for millions of users (i.e. Yahoo, Google, MySpace, etc.) using Ruby on Rails? I''m sure apps like these can be built, but can they scale to

Hello everyone- I was just reading the article on Rails at O''Reilly and one of those little light bulbs over my head went off - what a GREAT tool. I tried to install both Ruby on my Mac PowerBook without much luck and then tried to install Ruby and Rails on a FreeBSD server I have. I am running into some odd errors - so, my question is - can you point me to some tech resources

Apologies if this is out of place. I just wanted to mention to the list that I''ve completed my first Rails app and wanted to show it to you guys. The site is The Best Stuff in the World! which you can reach here: http://www.thebeststuffintheworld.com/ Any thoughts would be great, I can be reached at adrian@mindjar.com. I''ve been lurking here for a little while, and well,

...t any issues where I''ve found it too slow. On the contrary I''ve found that when you get Rails setup correctly it performs exceptionally well (Litespeed''s LSAPI is insanely fast once configured). It certainly scales. The websites are out there proving this (Basecamp, 43Things, Yakima Herald, etc.) Sure, these sites aren''t eBay or Amazon but toss enough hardware at Rails and it could be eBay. I take script VERY seriously. Occasionally I''ll find myself in Objective-C to do some low level dirty work on the sytems level BUT when it comes to the web...

Hi Railsers, How do you design your applications? Do you start coding HTML? Start with the controllers/models? Start in a program like photoshop/gimp/illustrator/inkscape? I start in inkscape, it''s a SVG editor. I sketch all the views of my application, and then I create the views that belong to one controller in RHTML. After that, I do the models/controller, and move on to the

when i "siege" a particular page on my site, my site just crashed under a very light load, and cpu usage quickly goes up to 99%. But my other pages are doing much better with load testing. So my guess initially was that sql statements with this page is the cause. However, from "tail -f production.log ", it seems that sql is doing ok and not taking much time, and

Hi, can anyone provide a way to do this with rails: I have 3 sites on different domain names. I want a unified sign on. so that, if your logged on from one site, your automatically logged on another site, allowing seamless navigation between different sites as a logged in user. I understand with cookies, you can do this for subdomains. But what about multiple different domains? Thanks. --

Hi, Are there any recommendations as to what is currently the most stable setup is for mongrel & apache? I read somewhere (probably here) that you should avoid using PStore for sessions. Are there any more of such recommendations? Also, what is currently the safest version of mongrel to use in production? Jeroen

Hello, Assuming I have the following setup for one page: <column A><data from controller 1 /> </columnA> <column B><data from controller 2 /> </columnB> <column C><data from controller 3 /> </columnC> Assuming the page is created for Controller 2, what would be the best way(s) to gather/render the data from the other controllers?

I got an idea less than two weeks ago and now as a testament to the power of Rails I have released the first initial beta version of SoapBx, with less than 20 hours of programming involved so far. SoapBX is an application to create css based presentations and uses Erik Meyer''s cool S5 css and js code: http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/ With SoapBX you can use basic Textile and a

Hi, how does one create a symbolic link within a Rails application? At this time, I can perform this action at the command line but I''m not sure how to do it within Rails.

I''ve seen a lot of issue regarding the stability of Rails apps. I''m charged with investigation of Rails for my company and I''ve looked at numerous fourms, groups, etc. (Textdrive, here, etc.) and it *seems* like there is a stability problem with Rails (ie: crashes, etc.) Is this as common as it looks, or is this tied to things like Lighttpd (web server) or Typo

Performace hits? Integration with existing applications? Security? Bugs? Memory use? -Ben Lisbakken -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''ve been working through the book ''Beginning Ruby on Rails E-Commerce'' which is very heavy on Test Driven Development. As in, you have to write tests for scaffolding methods and validations and crap like that. And then they fail. And you KNOW its the test not the method. So you spend 2x the time writing a test that has to be adapted when requirements change. You
