School Years/Teams listing problem
People,
I have tables years and teams and I have the years listing like:
1965
1966
1967
.
.
I want to be able to click on the year and ONLY list teams for that
year. At first I thought the following was working until I started
populating the table with teams for more than one year.
For views/years/list.rhtml:
<% for year in @years %>
<tr>
<td>
<%= link_to

Scaffolding - disabling Create, Edit, Destroy for some user logins?
People,
I am using:
before_filter :login_required
in my Controllers and this works fine. For some tables I am happy to
use the output of eg:
ruby script/generate scaffold Author
but is there some way that I can disable Create, Edit, Destroy for some
user logins in the corresponding view?
Thanks,
Phil.

What is this relationship?
People,
If I have a table "books" and a table "comments" and if there is either
ZERO or ONE comment per book then:
- "Comment" belongs_to "Book"
but what is the relationship of "Book" to "Comment"?
Thanks,
Phil.

Pluralization of non-noun names
People,
I have an insurance company client and for the last eleven years I have
wanted to completely redevelop their system from scratch. However, the
boss has never been interested in hiring a team to develop the new
system (partly because of the cost and partly because of some famous and
expensive development failures in the industry) and has always insisted
on incremental development of the

categories/recipes & books/descriptions - has_many vs has_one => id question
People,
In the cookbook eg, categories has_many recipes but in a book eg, book
has_one description - doesn''t that mean that the id of the description
should be the same as the id of the book (instead of having it''s own
"description_id" in the book table?
Thanks,
Phil.

I can order categories when looking at the categories list page but how

It appears that one has to use Imperial measurements in plot parameters?

Multiple (7) Y axes?
People,
I want to create seven plots on the one graph - each with it's own Y
axis and scale - I want the plots overlaid because it is the shape of
the graphs that I want to compare, not so much the values. I have found
examples where people show how to put two Y axes on the left of the plot
but I couldn't find examples of any more than that - is it possible?
Thanks,
Phil.

A trivial plot gives open circles as the plot char but another one gives me "q"s . . why is this?
People,
On my home computer with a real plot I get what I expect - open circles
as the plot character - on my work computer I get "q"s ! So I tried a
trivial test plot on the work computer ie:
a <- c(1,2,3,4,5)
b <- c(1,2,3,4,5)
plot(a,b)
and that also gives me open circles as it should! - the plot line in my
real script is:
plot( means5[ ,4 ], means6[ ,4 ],

Why are LAN ports not standard on UPSs these days?
People,
A couple of decades before I was retired and was still working for other
people I had cause to install UPSs and they usually had RS232 ports to
allow the setting up of shutdown scripts to UNIX / Linux servers. Now,
after not having to be concerned by those issues for some time - most of
my little web sites have been on Digital Ocean or other suppliers VMs

Strange result when backing up /etc vs /root
People,
My backup script has lines:
dt=`date ''+%Y%m%d''`
.
.
DELETE="--delete"
.
.
rsync -av $DELETE --backup --backup-dir /delmod/$dt /etc /backup/
rsync -av $DELETE --backup --backup-dir /delmod/$dt /root /backup/
- only the changes to /root get backed up but ALL of /etc gets backed up
everytime! - why should this happen?
Thanks,
Phil.

A Neural Network question

I thought I needed to have some familiarity with NNs for some of my

various programming environments including R and I got this working:

Increase space between xlab and X axis tick labels
People,
I am using the "las=2" parameter to rotate the labels for the X axis
ticks but it means that they are almost touching the "xlab" string. I
have been messing around with the "mai" paremeter but that doesn't help
- is there some way of increasing the space between xlab and the X axis
tick labels?
Thanks,
Phil.
