Alright Mongrel people, thanks for contributing to the mayhem around popularity by making me the official King of the Internet. In case you all missed it, here''s my blog post on my first act as King: http://www.zedshaw.com/blog/2006-12-26.html Stay tuned for pedro. I want to make this reign very democratic and chaotic. (I wonder if the Nitro folks will help with pedro?) The whole

Hi mongrel-herders, I''m just wondering what fellow railsers use to rotate their logs in an orderly fashion? I''d like to do something lightweight, i.e. (1) rename the logfile (2, optional) create a new empty logfile and (3) send a signal to each mongrel in the cluster and have them understand it''s time to reopen their log file handles. This is what I do with apache and

Hey folks, I ran into a few people at RubyConf who were having 99% CPU issues. Please contact me if you meet the following criteria: 1. You are running a production site. 2. You are experiencing 99% CPU errors. 3. This is frequent enough that you cannot manage it. Thank you. Please contact me off-list about it. -- Zed A.

Dear all, I would like to plot credible interval for a function estimate in R. I would like to plot the credible intervals as shaded region using polygon function. Does anyone ever used that? I tried several times but I could not obtain the right figure. xis=sort(xi,decreasing=TRUE) plot(xi,fm) polygon(c(xi,xis),c(f05m,f95m)) The above piece of code produces something else. Many thanks in

I really wanted to thank everyone personally for voting for me, but man I don''t have the time. So, like a good programmer I just automated it with espeak: $ speak -w thank_you_everyone.wav -s 168 -v en/en-f -p 60 -a 120 -l 50 -f who.txt $ lame -V2 thank_you_everyone.wav thank_you_everyone.mp3 And now you all get a personalized thanks from some electronic British woman:

Hello folks, I''ve been kind of away working for the last few weeks, and now I''m back to try and push out the big 0.4 release. I''ve collected all the problems and requests people have come up with and talked with Luis about some enhancements. We''re planning to revamp the win32 setup so that it cleans up the scripts to be just one mongrel_rails script.

A concrete example: We''re building a system to organize the information about workshops being held in various conventions. A convention has more than one workshop, and each workshop can be held in more than one convention. Also each workshop has a host, who is specific to a workshop being held in a specific convention. For example, Matz may host an "Introduction to Ruby"

Hi, Thanks Zed - this is very interesting. One item in particular caught my eye: Does anyone on this list have any comments or validation that Rails 1.2.1 is 2-4 times as slow as Rails 1.1.6? Topfunky provided a link that purports what looks like really horrible performance and memory characteristics for Rails 1.2.1, even v. 1.1.6:

Hey Everyone, Topfunky (Geoffry) has created a great PeepCode screencast on using httperf to performance measure your web applications: http://nubyonrails.topfunky.com/articles/2007/03/05/peepcode-page-caching-and-httperf http://peepcode.com/products/benchmarking-with-httperf Topfunky put a ton of work into this and really got it right. The attention to detail is very good and he researched

Someone contacted me earlier today and pointed out this typo in the mongrel apache documentation: "the following line: BrowserMatch bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html must be written instead as: BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html The effect of this typo is that files that are not caught by previously listed rules, such as all *.css and *.js files are never deflated for MSIE

There seems to be a bunch of books now that either mention Mongrel or focus on it or will focus on it. I''ve got my book, but the more books that people can easily get in as many languages as possible benefits Mongrel and everyone. Soooo, I''m gonna start a "Books" page that will list all the books that talk about Mongrel. Send me your book, a small abstract, and the
