Hi mongrelians, I found myself with an unloaded full production server recently which presented an opportunity to run some performance tests against Mongrel and nginx. I thought this list might have some interest in the results of my tinkering! I actually ran two sets of studies, and Wayne Seguin kindly provided a lot of guidance and support in getting them running. Thanks Wayne! Also,

I thought list could use a laugh. http://xkcd.com/c149.html -- Tom Elsesser

Hello mongrelians, I''ve had several submissions sent to me regarding the apache documentation on the mongrel site: http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/apache.html I have assembled quite a bit of updates and changes, but if you know of anything that has been useful to you, or that is missing or can be reworded or added (or missing attributes!) please let me know. cheers, -- Charles

Hi, In short, I would like to know if there is any way to convert a numeric into a date, similar to how strptime() can convert a string to a date time class? There are some functions, etc. which don't work well with dates, and tend to force them into numerics. I understand that the number it spits back is the number of seconds since the beginning of 1970 (see the first few sentences

Hi All, I have tried to find an answer within documentation, but I cannot: o How can call a class "slot" without knowing the name a priori? E.g., let's say I use the "pcaMethods" library to create a "pcaRes" object. How can I call parts of that object without using the specific names of the object in the call? example code: library(pcaMethods)

Hi, My department has a SAN and I''m wondering if it is safe to have all of my mongrel''s share log files stored on the SAN. More specifically, we have 4 machines, each running a couple of mongrel processes. Right now each machine has its own set of log files for mongrel. However, I am thinking that it might be better to put the log files on the SAN and let all the mongrels

Hi all, I am using the package "random forest" for random forest predictions. I like the package. However, I have fairly large data sets, and it can often take *hours* just to go through the "na.roughfix" call, which simply goes through and cleans up any NA values to either the median (numerical data) or the most frequent occurrence (factors). I am going to start

Hi All, I don't have a "I need help" question, so much as a query into any update whether 'R' has made any progress with some of the core functions retaining classes. As an example, because it's one of the cases that most egregiously impacts me & my work and keeps pushing me away from 'R' and into other numerical languages (such as NumPy in python), I
