I have been using browsercam.com for CSS testing, but it is rather expensive. Recently, I discovered others using funadable.org to purchase a yearly membership as a group. A year long membership at browsercam.com costs $480.00. This gives us 25 user accounts. I am proposing that 25 people throw in $19.20 for their 1/25th share of the membership cost. Once I have raised $479.40 I will

I am having a devil of a time with some runner actions. I can not seem to call any instance methods on found records. Even when I strip is down to the basics: def self.deliver self.find(:all, :conditions => ["#{Message.table_name}.status = ?", ''pending''], :include => [:site, :template]).each {|m| logger.info m.is_recurring? # my method logger.info

Awhile ago, I posted some information about SMS Aggregators, this is just a follow-up, based on changes in the US market. As of January 31st, any commercial application, sending to US networks, is required to lease a CSC (short code) from CTIA. A CSC runs $6000/year for a random code, and $12,000/year for a vanity code. These charges are on top of the normal per message fees. This does

I have an e-commerce site and users check out with a form. The results of that form are sent to a "confirm your order" page via POST. I take great pains to NEVER store the full credit card number on my server--just the last 4 digits. I was very surprised to find that by default Rails will record POST requests with parameters in the production.log. And those parameters

This is the first release of a new Ruby library for the www.bulksms.co.ukAPI which should allow simple integration of SMS functionality into your Ruby or Rails apps. Sending a message is as simple as: @service = Service.new(''username'', ''password'') @service.send_message(''This is my message!'', ''4479123456789'') # whats my

This more of a best practices question. I''m implementing group functionality in a couple of applications. The typical method, using HABTM, where you create a group and add members, is typical. For example, Users, Groups and Messages. Does anyone prefer tagging instead? Any advice would be great! -- Lon Baker http://www.speedymac.com AIM: spdemac

I''m trying to set a multi-value cookie but for some reason it''s not working. Any help would be appreciated. cookies[:user] = { :value => {:email=>params[:login][:email], :passwd=>params[:login][:passwd]}, :expires => 30.days.from_now, :path => "/login"} -- Thiago Jackiw

hi all, I can blab, but here is a sample of my /var/log/apache2/error.log, it has all the info: any ideas what I can do prevent 500s from hitting my users? (besides redirecting them with javascript to the same URL which will be fine on the next request? :) thanks, _alex [Fri Jun 24 12:30:45 2005] [error] [client 172.20.0.175] FastCGI: incomplete headers (0 bytes) received from

I have a form and e file field, and what I''m trying to do is when the file is uploaded, a div shows the uploaded image using ajax, without refreshing the page. But the problem I''m having is that with form_remote_tag it won''t accept :multipart => true. Any ideas? Thanks a lot

Hi all, This has been very frustrating for me trying to get this acts_as_ferret working well on a Fedora box. On my mac it works great, no problems with locale, but when I put the code live on my Fedora server, it complains about the locale setting (Error occured at <analysis.c>:498 Error: exception 2 not handled: Error decoding input string. Check that you have the locale set

Hi there, I have a 512MB USB thumbnail which I used syslinux to create a bootable USB disk. It works fine with my old laptop and a few other computers. However, on my Dell Latitude E5410, it doesn't really work; when the Dell laptop boots, I pressed F9 to see the boot devices list and the thumbnail is not on the list. Some hints please? x -- [?] Please notice that v9 at dr.com is no

I am using for the first time the Fleximage plugin... good, I can upload and resize images on the fly before storing them.. User has-one Image I need to get a very small thumbnail to be stored directly into a tinyblob field of the user record... , I know Fleximage is able to produce thumbnails, but regarding performance I''d prefer to store the thumbnail direcly into the user record...

Hi there I am using Acts as attachment to store thumbnails in a file system. That part works fine :-) Along with my pic form I''m sending other information and I want to store that information in the thumbnail row as well as the parent image row... but I can''t figure out how to do it! The info is stored in the row that contains the original img info with no problems, but

Is there any ruby way to show thumbnail preview of image before upload? Using below javascript, I can achieve this window.URL = window.URL || window.webkitURL; var fileElem = document.getElementById("fileElem"); function handleFiles(files) { var img = document.getElementById("image-preview"); if (!files.length) { img.src =

I've successfully gotten R 2.2.1 to compile on AIX 5.2. However, when I run "make install", I receive the following message: /appl/perform/workspace/R-2.2.1 [root@diablo][/appl/perform/workspace/R-2.2.1] make install /appl/perform/workspace/R-2.2.1/m4 Target "install" is up to date. /appl/perform/workspace/R-2.2.1/tools Target "install" is up to date.

I''ve tried migrating acts_as_attachment to attachment_fu (just to see if I could replace RMagick with ImageScience+FreeImage), but the quality of the thumbnails is just horrendous, blurred beyond recognition (downscaling a 1280x1024 to a few considerably smaller thumbnails). Changing attachment_fu to use RMagick again and the thumbnails were crispy sharp again. I was wondering

I presently have 17 core.* files in my home directory, all dropped by 'gst-thumbnail'. GDB backtraces are predictably useless, indicating only that the crash came indirectly from libgsttypefindfunctions.so. I don't find anything about this in the CentOS bug tracker. Has anyone else seen a similar problem? Running "strings" on the core files finds that they all mention

Hi, I have tried to build libjpeg-turbo <https://github.com/libjpeg-turbo/libjpeg-turbo> with LTO in LLVM, using both clangbut get many errors in lld that look like the following: ld: error: undefined symbol: jpeg_std_error >>> referenced by jcstest.c:76 >>> lto.tmp:(main) ld: error: undefined symbol: jpeg_CreateCompress >>> referenced by

Adding a couple of lld folks. I helped Shishir debug this, the link line looked like: /home/sjessu/build/bin/clang -O0 -flto -o jcstest jcstest.o ./.libs/libjpeg.a and the issue was that libjpeg.a was created with the system ar instead of llvm-ar. It worked when recreating libjpeg.a with llvm-ar. I noticed that the lld code has some special handling for the case when there is a missing
