I just jumped onto this list (and onto #raleigh.rb on Freenode). I'm a Groovy/Ruby/Java/OCaml/Perl hacker who just moved into the area, and I've been watching Raleigh.RB because Minnesota's Ruby.MN was pretty awesome. My parting presentation to Ruby.MN was on OCaml, and you can check it out here: http://enfranchisedmind.com/blog/2008/07/07/rubymn-presentation-of-ocaml/ Anyway, since we just moved into the Triangle, my wife's looking for a job. She was a freelance web developer in Minnesota operating under the name Graphic Karma (http://graphickarma.com), and while she'd be willing to do some more freelance work, she's really looking to join a team here in the Raleigh/Durham area. She's got a lot of skill (including experience working with Ruby/Rails, baseline JS skills, and mad Photoshop skills), and she's really interested in a position where she can learn more. If you know of an opportunity, drop her a line at alicia at graphickarma.com ~~ Robert.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <9EA9CF91-618A-4D7E-855F-F7DE22A45FD9@iannopollo.com> The way that the bcc field works is that the mail server sends out individual emails for every person listed. So it doesn't really take any load off your server (sending wise). It does however work nicely when you want to perform an action in your application, send out many emails, and then have the user be redirected fast (instead of waiting for all those emails to send out). On the current application I'm working on, we also found out that some mail clients (Outlook for example) don't properly render the message if there is no one in the Delivered-To header. We got around that by sending it to a dummy account whilst bcc'ing everyone who should really receive the email. Not sure if there is a limit or not. I guess we'll wait until our app is super popular to find out :-) (or until we go look it up!) -Steve On Aug 6, 2008, at 10:35 AM, Russell Scheerer wrote: > Could you BCC everyone on a single e-mail to eliminate the server > load?

I especially like the large (12in x 18in) "newsprint" notebooks. Office Max/etc has them 100 sheets for about $6. And a big thick sharpie pen! Nothing's better for a quick brainstorm or UI sketch. (And then you can hand off the paper to other folks if they need it.) However, if I'm quickly trying to "perfect" a UI design, and I know I'll be iterating quickly over the same thing for a while, I'll often go to a whiteboard. Brainstorm on paper, iterate on whiteboard, copy back to paper for dissemination.

I also use dead tree writing apparatus, but I use it for different things then I use my whiteboards. The important thing about whiteboards for me is the ease of erasure, and they work great for when I have no idea what that hack I'm doing (which is often). When erasure is easy, I'm much more free to redesign. I use paper for when I have a good idea of what I'm doing, or collecting many potential ideas for use later. Steve -- | Steven E.

I don't think I have bought lined paper since. I'm not crazy about the idea of all the trees that get killed for my portable whiteboards, but it has become a necessary part of my toolset. So I have pretty much every size of portable whiteboard, and use the smallest size necessary for the task at hand: Blank 3x5 cards - scattered throughout my life. In the junk drawer, laptop bag, back pocket, nightstand drawer, garage, gloveboxes in both cars. Great for quick ideas. I periodically go around and deposit them everywhere so I am never looking for something on which to jot down an idea. Small artist's sketchpad. Usually what I carry with me everywhere. Just big enough for simple whiteboarding and notetaking. 8.5x11 artist's sketchpad. Usually kept in my laptop bag. Large artist's sketchpad. Usually on my desk, and I bring it whenever I am going to be meeting and might be brainstorming ideas. Regarding erasing - this too hindered me at first, but now I don't worry about erasing. I just redraw. That act often helps me see things in a new way. After all, if something is hard to redraw, it's probably also overly complicated to implement. Once I get to the stage where I might be perfecting some design, I switch to Omnigraffle. (Which IMO is the computer version of blank paper). Even with Omnigraffle, I usually don't delete - I just copy and create a new diagram, so I can see how my ideas evolve and go back and reuse stuff.

Topics can be anything related to Ruby, Rails, Merb, Agile, etc. In addition to the topics and presentations pitched Relevance will be running an half-day refactotum in the main room. After lunch the main room will be reserved for an open hack-a-thon. RaleighRubyCamp is completely free and will be hosted by Red Hat on October 18th.

#{exception}" end def local_request? false end That catches for example if I try to access a page that does not exist (catch-all). However I would like to be more specific and have something like this for example: def rescue_action_in_public(exception) case exception when ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound, ActionController::RoutingError, ActionController::UnknownController, ActionController::UnknownAction render_404 else render_500 end end As soon as I do that, nothing happens. The weird thing is that I never even get to the "render_500". The content of the exception parameter being passed in seems to be the actual exception message. The case statement never matches: when ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound, ActionController::RoutingError, ActionController::UnknownController, ActionController::UnknownAction however, in my log file I see: ActionController::RoutingError (no route found to match "/hi" with {:method=>:get}): BTW, my server is running in production mode and as seen above I have also over-written local_request? Rails version: 1.2.6 Any help/guidance with this would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Alfredo -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Brian, I have one, and love it. Wifi works great with every Linux distro I've tried, which is nice. The screen is very small, but if you use a full-screen text editor (like Emacs full-screened under GNOME, which is my setup), it's actually not a bad little machine for coding. It's pretty speedy. I would recommend, though, upping the RAM. 512MB is fine, but 2GB is so cheap these days that I've found it worth the money. - Clinton From kevin at hypotheticalabs.com Mon Aug 25 13:27:43 2008 From: kevin at hypotheticalabs.com (Kevin A.

The Rails Rumble is a 48 hour design/develop/deploy competition. It was a lot of fun last year, and this year promises to be even better. Even if you do not compete, we'd love for you to participate in the voting process. Each competing team will get a free Linode 360 for the duration of the contest plus the voting period. For more information, please see http://railsrumble.com/ Linode.com has also created a promotion code for members of the Raleigh Ruby Brigade. The code RUGRRB can be entered during the sign- up process and is good for _two_ free months of service, after one paid month. The promotion can be applied to any of our plan levels. We provide an excellent platform for developing and deploying RoR apps. We sport a custom built control panel with some pretty cool features for managing your virtual server. You can check us out at http://www.linode.com/ Please do not hesitate to contact me directly if you have any questions. You can also visit #linode (freenode or oftc), #railsrumble (freenode), or organizers at railsrumble.com Regards, Thomas Asaro tasaro at linode.com http://www.linode.com/ From mshiltonj at gmail.com Fri Aug 29 16:04:09 2008 From: mshiltonj at gmail.com (Steven Hilton) Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2008 16:04:09 -0400 Subject: [raleigh.rb] Rails Rumble 2008 / Linode.com In-Reply-To: <6379C507-08D5-44EB-A127-B95589D7B990@linode.com> References: <6379C507-08D5-44EB-A127-B95589D7B990@linode.com> Message-ID: <8308260d0808291304i49c7a842x983e2bb73a00c1f5@mail.gmail.com> >From the site: "This year, the Rumble will be happening over the weekend of October 18th and 19th."

I think having a room at the Raleigh Ruby Camp for hacking in general - and especially Rails Rumble hacking - would be fantastic.

The idea was to use the big room where we have monthly Raleigh.rb meetings -- in the morning we'll use it for the Refactotum and for general hacking, and in the afternoon we'll keep it going just for general hacking. I'll probably spend most of the day in there, it's definitely one of the things I'm most looking forward to. -Mark From steve at iannopollo.com Sat Aug 30 01:45:32 2008 From: steve at iannopollo.com (Steve Iannopollo) Date: Sat, 30 Aug 2008 01:45:32 -0400 Subject: [raleigh.rb] Refresh a stale db connection for AR?
