Hi: I'm looking at Icecast's fallback behaviour, particularly with the fallback override fuctionality that's in SVN Icecast. Everything works well *if* you connect the client whilst the primary stream is connected. When that source drops out, you fall through to the backup, and you get pulled forward when it reconnects. All well and good. But if you try to connect when the

Hello Vorbis Developers. I'm in the proccess of writing an OggVorbis audio player using libao and libvorbisfile.

I''d like to clarify some points about the ports/package system in FreeBSD. I apoligize ahead of time if this is Both packages and ports use the pkgdb system.

I am building an invoicing system but cannot use the auto_increment field to determine the invoice number (because they are running 3 different companies off the one system. I need to find the last invoice number from any given company and then add 1 to it to get the next invoice number. BUT, there is a unique case on the very first invoice produced because there is no earlier invoice

Hi, I have the following code: Message, belongs_to :topic, :counter_cache => true topic = Topic.find_from_permalink(params[:id]) topic.messages.create(params[:message]) When the message gets created, then AR issues a supplemental SELECT to retrieve the message''s topic and then updates its messages_count.

Hi All, I''ve tried to do my searches, but can''t find reference to this anywhere - My question is about ActiveRecord inserts and IDs.

Hi Folks, BackgrounDRb is a Ruby job server and scheduler. Its main intent is to be used with Ruby on Rails applications for offloading long-running tasks. Since a Rails application blocks while serving a request it is best to move long-running tasks off into a background process that is divorced from http request/response cycle.

Hi, We have a snap server 4400 which is running Samba and which we have successfully added to our Samba domain which is running on a Sun. However, when we save a file on the Snap server, the unix owner/group are set incorrectly to the values 20111 and 20002. A file saved on the Sun server has the correct unix owner/group. Consequently, the file save on the snap server cannot be edited at the
