Subject: [raleigh.rb] Nginx - experiences?
Message-ID: <4D2EEA90-B901-44CD-AF9D-922097496BE9@geoffdavis.net>

There was some interesting buzz about Nginx at RubyConf, but I heard  
both good things (crazy fast) and scary things (weird instabilities  
at times).

As best I can tell, it has the main Apache features I use -  
equivalents of mod_rewrite / mod_proxy / mod_deflate / mod_expires / ssi

Have people tried it?  What's the verdict?  What kinds of speedups  
have you seen for static content?  For dynamic?

I love Nginx. I've not heard that it's substantially faster than  
Apache, but it's much easier to configure and uses less memory. I've  
had no stability issues from it (but I'm also running a pretty light  
load on it).

Here's my take on it (including sample config files)

Subject: [raleigh.rb] How to fix: "C:0:Warning: require_gem is obsolete. Use
	gem instead."
Message-ID: <be24dd650708070741r2f48a785re411ab71f6125ef0@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

I installed Scruffy 0.2.2 version and Ruby 1.8.6 on my winXP machine. When
my ruby code execute
   require 'scruffy'

It always complaints "C:0:Warning: require_gem is obsolete.  Use gem
instead."  It only happens when "require 'scruffy'' package is loaded. Other
package is ok.

I searched internet, didn't find any leads. Anyone can shed some light on
it?

Thanks,

This happens a lot.  It means they used the method require_gem instead of
the gem method somewhere in the plugin.  Its not fatal until they yank out
the require_gem method.  You can monkey patch it or try to get them to fix
it before the method gets deleted.

Thanks, Mark.

Finally found the phrase in scruffy. Be careful about windows' built-in
search, somehow it doesn't report the files containing "require_gem" even
though I asked it to search the file content for such phrase.

Subject: [raleigh.rb] Multiple users ssh keys with capistrano
Message-ID: <AFD48720-2FD0-4350-A35B-12AE4E314577@tonyspencer.com>

I've been unable to get capistrano to let us list more than one  
user's ssh keys in a project.  According to the commented out line  
you just need to add as many paths to ssh keys as you like separated  
by a space:

ssh_options[:keys] = %w(/Users/tony/.ssh/id_rsa /Users/joe/.ssh/id_rsa)

But whenever I list more than one key it fails.  If I'm on user  
"joe"'s machine it complains that /Users/tony/.ssh/id_rsa.pub does  
not exist and vice versa.  Has anyone been able to setup multiple  
team members ssh keys with cap setup_ssh_keys ?

I don't have it in front of me right now but it says that the path  
cannot be found.  Remove all paths except the correct one for the  
machine I'm currently on and it runs fine.

You might try defining the array without using the %w syntax. Some of the
chars in the paths might be confusing it.

Isn't it more correct to have that line in ~/.caprc?

Is there any scruffy plugin or tag that I could use to directly embed
scruffy chart in my view page?

Thanks for any lead!

Ok we tried this syntax but still it blows up on the first directory  
it doesn't find.  Wonder if its a bug:

  ssh_options[:keys] = ['/Users/tony/.ssh/id_rsa', '/Users/joe/.ssh/ 
id_rsa']

Hi All,

This question might not be rails specific. But I would appreciate any
pointers. I would like to display some geographic information overlaid on
globe map in my rails app, like the one in

http://www.internettrafficreport.com/

Google map is not a choice due to the requirement.

Anyone can provide some leads?

Thanks,
Wesley

If you're coming out to the Hoedown and have a spare wireless router
you could bring, that would be SWEET! We have one up and running now,
but it will probably be overloaded by the full conference traffic.

If you do bring one, be sure to put your name on, and just find me
when you arrive and I'll help you get it hooked up.

Thanks,

Subject: [raleigh.rb] New Local Rails App - Your Garage Online
Message-ID: <82DEA308-3526-465B-BFF4-0F69F0056622@gmail.com>

Hi everyone,

I wanted to let you all know about my newest creation, Your Garage  
Online.  It's a Rails application designed to simplify the tracking  
of vehicle repair records.  My car is constantly in the shop, and I  
needed an easy way to look up the dates (and costs) of prior services  
for my numerous repairs.  My old system consisted of a file folder  
and a lot of small slips of carbon paper.  Your Garage Online changes  
all that, with searchable repair forms and a personal, virtual garage  
which can hold up to three cars.

A little backstory: I conceived this idea in late 2006, and was  
keeping it on the back burner as a potential RailsDay 2007 project.   
Believing that RailsDay was not going to happen this year, and  
wanting to put into practice the cool things I was learning at  
Railsconf, I forged ahead on the application, only to bring it  
online, and then hear about the Rails Rumble!

The application can be found at <http://www.yourgarageonline.com/> --  
Check it out, I'd love to hear any and all feedback!

-- Jared

Has anyone played with this? I am interested in looking at it because of the
hoedown talk, and downloaded the vmware image. The only thing I get is a web
page with a login screen. When I login, it asks me to change the pwd, but
doesn't take the change.  I see no config info at all.  It seems like
something is really not working right, but I have no idea what that might
be.

Thanks

As usual, anyone who's available is invited to meet at 5:30 tonight at
Baja Burrito (http://rubyurl.com/CGF) to grab dinner and some Ruby chatter
before heading over to Red Hat for the meeting. (I won't be able to make it
dinner unfortunately, but I'll catch you guys at the meeting.)

While by no means required, a quick RSVP (just reply to this email with
"In!" or somesuch) would be great.

Thanks,Matthew

All,
Here's a quick script I used to package ALL of the installed gems on
my CentOS 4.3 system as RPMs.

First, you'll need to:
$ gem install --remote gem2rpm

Also note this will clobber your ~/.rpmmacros file and ~/rpm directory if
you have them.  However, it will let you build all of the Gems into
binary RPMs without needing to be root.

Hope this helps someone,
Larry

I have the slides and code from the selenium-rc talk available on my S3

ran it to make sure it worked.  I thought it would be clever of me to have
the test actually make a purchase, but I figured not everyone would see the
humor. :)

Also, in light of the previous month's talk on presentation skills feel free
to email me some (constructive) criticism on how I could improve the talk.

I've written some code that is parsing a large number of files with  
Hpricot.  I've surrounded the parsing chunk including creating the

one of the files can't be parsed for some reason.  However, mongrel  
is dying and this is reported in the console:

Any suggestions?

Altering my Google query seemed to have found the answer.  We'll see  
if 1.8.5 fixes it:

Hehehehe, upgrading to 1.8.6 stopped the abort issue but it just hung  
on parsing the same file.  Checked out the file and it was over 1GB  
of text.  :)

You might try Rubyful Soup (or Beautiful Soup if you can deal with  
forking to a python process).  Rubyful Soup is kind of slow, but it  
might be more robust than Hpricot.

Yeah I played with that some.  Hpricot works fine for me I just need  
to figure out how to make HTTP.get bail if it downloads a web page  
that is over a few MB's so I don't end up with these huge files.

I modified RDig some to create a multithreaded crawler that stores to  
flat files.  It's pulling over 1k pages a minute on my Macbook Pro!

Interesting. I've never heard of any form of doctest. It seems that  
here, http://clintonforbes.blogspot.com/2007/08/doctest-for-ruby-and- 
rails.html, in the attack on TDD, design is not a consideration. I  
don't TDD "to write lots of testing code, thousands upon thousands of  
carefully crafted assertions". It's to help me think, make things  
less dependent on one another, etc. The regression stuff is more of a  
wonderful side-effect ;)

Thanks for the pointer. I tried to ignore BDD for a while too, and  
just converted, so we'll see.

I just moved to the area and want some advice on who to go with for
internet access.  I've heard Time Warner is horrible, but Bell South
is even worse.  Are there any other viable options?

I'll be in Chapel Hill, btw.

TWC hasn't been bad at all for me, and I might even go so far as to
recommend them.

I have had good luck with Speakeasy, but they were recently bought by  
Best Buy, so who knows what will become of them.

Please forgive this somewhat off-topic message, but this group contains many
of the geeks I respect the most in this area, so I'd love to give this small
project to one of you.

For my day job, I'm product managing an SDK that enables motion control of
mobile devices (think Nintendo Wii for your phone).  My team has prepared an
alpha build of the next version of the SDK, and I'm looking for a smart
developer or two to review the interface design and provide feedback.  It's
a C++ API, and it's being developed and tested on a Qt based mobile Linux
device (Qtopia Greenphone from Trolltech).

If anyone has the experience necessary to critique a C++ API and is
interested in picking up day or two of consulting income over the next week
or so, please contact me.

Thanks,
Curtis

Message-ID: <2b27183e0708291221r7823fd2eu15954451593887aa@mail.gmail.com>

All,
I am writing a Rails wrapper around a legacy non-Rails-friendly
database.  I generated a model, put in set_table_name to the legacy
name, and then tried to generate scaffolding for a controller.  I got
an awful "Before updaing scaffolding from a new DB schema, try
creating a table for your model" error message.

I googled around and discovered that scaffold will completely ignore
your model file on disk, hence ignoring the set_table_name call.
Scaffold wants your table name to be Rails-ified in the database,
period.  So, I did a quick trick to fake out scaffold just long enough
for it to do its job.

In Postgresql I did the following:
> select * into computer_systems from computersystem;
(then went and generated scaffolding fine, came back to pgsql  and did a...)
> drop table computer_systems;
(then I went back to the newly generated model file and put the
set_table_name back)

Not sure if there's an equivalent in MySQL, but I bet there is.

HTH,
Larry

I ask, in ignorance, What's the advantage gained?

On Fedora, I install everything via yum, and then gem for mongrel,  
rails etc. and it works fine. Why would I want to RPMize my gems?

My guess is deployment consistency.  This way you don't have to remember
what all of your rails stuff depends on, and the versions on your dev
platform being out of sync with your servers.

The quick answer is that under linux there are great tools for working with
RPMs to manage large deployments and, as Brian mentioned, it's nice to be
able to handle all your dependencies consistently.   I've been using gem2rpm
mostly for that reason.

Also, some gems need to compile native code in order to work.  Where I work
it's not very common for large production systems to have compilers on
them.

Brenton and Brian hit the nail on the head.  Our software is shipped
as a Linux image on computers sold as an "appliance."  We manage all
system imaging using RedHat's Anaconda and Kickstart programs.  We
have a strict policy that every single file in our image is owned by
an RPM, so to install gems I must use gem2rpm.  Having a repeatable
installation system has proven to be a god-send, a real best-practice
that I whole-heartedly endorse.

As for my "normal" Rails installs (my own projects), I like to have a
yum repository with any custom RPMs for my base system.  Then I'm
using Capistrano to deploy application-level code on top of that.

HTH,
Larry

A web server without a compiler? Aiiieeeee!!!

Although I guess that does significantly increase the security of the  
"appliance."

Thanks for edu-ma-cating me on the deployment joys possible via gem2rpm.
