similar to: Rails 1.1 ~ Kick Ass

Just sharing an experience with you all -- hopefully you take better precautions than I do. :-) I have a few sites built with Rails 0.8.3 that were ugpraded to 1.0. The newer sites are on edge rails. So when I heard 1.1 had come out, I unfroze my new apps, and installed the new gem for Rails 1.1. The sites that was operating on edge rails worked just fine. However, the sites that were working

Someone mentioned that Rmagick doesn''t work properly on this setup (Ruby 1.8.4, Rails 1.1) Is this true? -- seth at subimage interactive http://www.subimage.com/sublog/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

OK, general question for the community -- what''s the coolest startup using Rails? I don''t think "37 Signals" is a fair answer. I''m curious as to what kind of other developments are happening. Are there a lot of startups using Rails in the first place? Or do most of you who are lucky enough to do Rails for a living (I''m coding Java, bleah) work in large

Hello ~ I have posted a tutorial on my blog, http://www.benr75.com/pages/lighttpd_awstats_tutorial, on how to get AWStats and Lighttpd to work together.

I''ve decided to dive into page caching for my rails app. I''m doing my testing with webbrick and it refuses to display the cached page for a particular action. I''ve modified my paginator helper to put the page parameter in the url so that the paginated page can be used with caching. This works perfectly when the page parameter is in the url (ie browse/2006/2 or

Hi all, I''m developing an app on a home Windows computer and using SVN/Capistrano to deploy to a Linux server. I''m encountering some bizarre behavior that I think has something to do with Linux and Windows text file types, but I''m not sure. What''s happening is that, whenever I edit my view files and reload the page in my local browser, I see errors saying

Sprint Nextel is sueing vonage, voiceglo and theglobe.com for infringing on VoIP patents. Sprint Nextel claims to have about 100 patents on VoIP technologies. Does anyone know which ones this article is talking about, and if so does asterisk have any of those features? The reason I am asking is that the article is vague, Vonage uses a fairly standard codec set, I dont know about the others.

I have seen the testing doc or the FAQ on ROR site, but is there a zip file for it?

Hi all - does anyone know of a good blog post or wiki or something with a good guide to mocking? I''ve got some degree of responsibility for people who are creating mocks. I''m supposed to actually be telling them the best way to do it. In some cases we have code with like a bazillion mock(:x) statements and it''s kind of out of control. I have an idea how the specs should

Asked a little while back about "coolest startups" using Rails, I think it''d have been better had I asked "coolest software." Besides the obvious (37Signals, Typo, Yakima Herald, Odeo, Measure Map, etc.), I''m just curious about other developments where people are using it to make nifty stuff. -- Giles Bowkett www.gilesgoatboy.org

Hello, I am trying to put my rails app on a host .So I presume the method to do this is to first do rake db_schema_dump and then copy it to the host and do rake db_schema_import. I use mySQL Ver 14.7 Distrib 4.1.14, for pc-linux-gnu (i686) using readline 4.3 ** Invoke db_schema_import (first_time) ** Invoke environment (first_time) ** Execute environment ** Execute db_schema_import rake

Hi -- well, that''s what I''m trying to do. Does anyone know what the best way to do it is? I have three controllers, each one has a hidden tag, and I want each one to salt its respective tag with the name of the action in effect, at the time that action runs, for every action in the controller. -- Giles Bowkett http://www.gilesgoatboy.org

I have a little web app where we need to paginate collections of items. I''m trying to sort the collection and then pass it, sorted, to a Paginator, and still be able to paginate through the collection, across several pages, with the new sort order. The only thing I''m doing differently from the regular scaffolding approach is this: @order_pages = Paginator.new(self,

I appear to have written code which travels backwards through time: http://www.vimeo.com/742590 This disturbs me immensely. If anyone can explain it, that would be cool. I think it''s an illusion brought about by how RSpec wraps the code it executes, and by the sheer weirdness of continuations. -- Giles Bowkett Blog: http://gilesbowkett.blogspot.com Portfolio:

Hello all, here's a real-world example: I'm measuring a quantity (d) at five sites (site1 thru site5) on a silicon wafer. There is a clear site-dependence of the measured value. To find out if this is a measurement artifact I measured the wafer four times: twice in the normal position (posN), and twice rotated by 180 degrees (posR). My data looks like this (full, self-contained code at

Hi all, where I work we''ve cooked up a kind of ghetto profiler for our specs. It basically just does this: time = Time.now # run the spec puts "woah! dude. long spec." if time > 1.second I''m simplifying here. I think the threshold is actually 0.1 seconds, and we use more precise language, and highlight the spec in red via terminal colors, etc. But the way it works
