Hello, First and foremost sorry for off topic message, but I thought maybe you smart guys can help me to decide about purchasing a MacBook or not.

The new gem version dependency system from Rails 1.1.1 needed a few tweaks to work properly and to stop throwing meaningless warnings. This tiny release makes up for that. To install: * gem install rails * rake rails:update:configs (to get the latest config/boot.rb) This release also signals our new commitment to do more tiny releases from the stable branch, which only gets bug fixes. So it will

I have recently switched over to a mac and am not sure how to test my latest project on IE6/7. I can start up parallels and test the live site, but that will be rather painful to make updates until everything is just right. Not to long ago I found something, ies4osx, but it didn''t seem to work on my machine for loading sites through localhost. Thanks for the advice. -- Posted via

Hi, I have a hosting account with godaddy.com and I guess after asking about RoR, it''s now installed on both the Deluxe and Premium shared plans. Now, it seems that I don''t have command line access (i.e ssh). Thus, I was wondering, how does one check to see what gems are installed and how can I add other gems? Is it possible to add gems and plugins to the local project and

Is it even remotely possible to run MacOSX (or Darwin) as VM under CentOS 5.10 / xen? Or am I better off not even trying and just getting a MacMini or MacBook to just jack into my LAN? I just need a 'build box' and possibly something to do light testing (eg does the program run? Does the GUI come up?). I don't really have the *physical* room for an iMac, unless the screen is tiny.

Caveat: this is not a discussion about *hosting* a rails app on windows. Anyway...Macs are everywhere you look when researching rails (demo vids, tutorials, and pictures from rails training classes). I''m interested in what the pros to using a Mac for rails development are (besides textmate). Is it more of a cultural thing, a what would 37 signals do thing, is it a unix thing, or

Hi, I''m trying to setup rails 2.2.2 pool connections to MySQL by specifying the pool setting with 5 in database.yml but no hope.. It doesn''t work.

I created a fresh new rails app, no gems, no nothing. Completely unmodified. Doing anything that initializes rails takes 2 - 3 times longer in ruby 1.9.1 than it does in 1.8.7. Obviously with a fresh rails app, this is only 2 - 3 seconds extra. But with a decent sized app, this can take up to 25 seconds for rails to initialize, vs the 12 seconds in 1.8.7. I''ve been racking my brain on

Hi, I''m looking to create a gallery index page of thumbnail images which point to their associated images galleries. Also, I would like to organize the images from left to right and top to bottom.
