Hello, It seems that there is a small probability of collisions among uuid''s produced by uuidtools'' UUID.random_create() running in concurrent user processes on a host (fcgi)? The ~2 bytes extracted from the randomized clock_sequence make a collision unlikely. http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/8572/uuidtools-1.0.0.zip Do I miss something? DD -- Posted via

A quick survey... what''s the best gui debugging tool for Rails 1.0 on Linux that you''ve used? SW versions? Personally I''ve tried FreeRIDE 0.95 and RDT 0.7.0 in Eclipse 3.1.2. Both are very slow and the latter got quite a few bugs itself. TIA! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

How are you guys handling threads or server processes that have to, for example, process the data in your application on a periodic basis? Cron jobs can do it and then run on the database. But, are there ways to launch threads within the rails application itself. I have heard of WebBrick ways, but I am working with lighttpd, fastcgi? (textdrive if you are really interested).

Say I want to send out an email once a day to people who''s name is "Bob". Would I use script/runner in conjunction with cron? Or is there another cool(er) way now? Thanks, Joe

I didn''t get a chance to go to this meeting debating WebObjects Vs Rails, but here''s a report about it: http://desperatepundit.com/blog/cremes/technology/2006/02/15/WebObjects-versus-Ruby-On-Rails.html I don''t get what he''s saying, hand coding the model? yeah, you COULD ... but what about script/generate ??? And is that so what he said about security? --

Saw a lot of recommendations for Firebug (http://www.joehewitt.com/software/firebug/) on this list. I''ve scanned its docs and tried it--many useful features. But I''m so dense that I can''t get it to spy XHR/AJAX requests and their response on FC5 running Firefox 1.5.0.4 and Firebug 0.4. Can someone tell me how to get to

I''m using a runner script to try and send batch email update, however I get the impression that the runner is not operating in production mode and as a result it is falling foul of the system I have in place to block emails goinc out in development in testing modes. Is there some way for me to force a runner to operate in a particular mode, or even to check the mode it is operating in?

Hi there I''m considering Rails for a new web-application planned to be built from scratch. The application has an extensive web front, and in fact most of the application is interfaced through that front and engaged through clients'' HTTP requests (i.e. the conventional way web-applications and "dynamic web-sites" work). However, some essential parts are supposed to

Hi there, The default recipe expects you to be able to access your web server directly from your local machine. On our web server, for security purposes, it is only possible to ssh to it through one particular ip (which is also a remote machine.) The capistrano source is so compact and tidy it looks very hackable. But rather than messing around I thought I''d ask first if anyone else

In an attempt to provide a gracefully degradable link_to_remote, I repeat myself every time: <%= link_to_remote(''Signup'', {:url => {:controller => ''user'', :action => ''signup''}}, {:href => url_for(:controller => ''user'', :action => ''signup'')}) %> Looked around the RDoc &

When processing a request, where can you obtain the language setting of a user''s browser? I know we can read @request.env["HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"] in an action easily. But I need to access it before being routed to a controller''s action... because the accepted language dictates my app''s language setting programmatically and what action to take.

Hello, Is it possible to call a method in a controller with script/console or script/runner? -- Jonas Elfstr?m

Hi, I''m new. ;-) I creating a little rails app, that will crawl the web on a regular basis and then show the results. The crawling will be scheduled, likely a cron job. I can''t wrap my head around where to put my crawler. It doesn''t seem to fit.

Greetings, Today I''ve been working out how to begin using Capistrano and so far I''m impressed. Even in my situation, learning Rails and deploying to a single server, it''s incredibly helpful. I do have one small question though: In using Subversion I''ve used the "ignore" feature to ignore my local database.yml file, because my local database and

Searched around this forum, but didn''t find an answer for this question. Can you help this newbie understand any overlap and/or difference between request.xhr? and respond_to? If request.xhr? is true, should I expect it wants.js below? respond_to do |wants| wants.html { redirect_to(person_list_url) } wants.js wants.xml { render :xml => @person.to_xml(:include

Hi all, I just watched the rail video: http://www.rubyonrails.org/media/video/rails_take2_with_sound.mov I am just curious. I can tell that the video was done on a Mac, but I cannot tell which applications were used for editing the code, and for interfacing with MySQL database. As far as editing source code, I normally use BBEdit (I''ve used it since 1994), but the editor used in
