Hey folks - we had an Objective C / Cocoa / iPhone dev intro in
November, so I figure at least some of you must be interested in mobile
development. I'll be giving an introduction to Android development this
Thursday - come to learn or teach as you see fit. And hey, if anyone
gets a new Nexus One, bring it so we can check it out!

More details at the meetup page: http://www.meetup.com/TriDroid/

Message-ID: <f25a5bb61001051454o50c91b3dy473751ecf06a0024@mail.gmail.com>

I'm working on a startup that could use one additional developer
(right now, it's just me) as we push toward a launch at the end of
this month. I'm looking for someone with Rails and JavaScript (jQuery)
experience that can jump in and be productive fairly quickly. It'd be
about 20 hours/wk for the next 3-ish weeks. I'm definitely looking for
someone local - ideally we'd work from the same location some of the
time.

I'd prefer contacts off list but if you have any questions that you
think are generally applicable, feel free to reply to the list.

Thanks,

-TJ

If you need a new "machine room" to keep you and your Linux gear safe, comfortable, warm, and close to downtown, please check out this listing for a townhouse for rent in Cameron Village. It's a great 2-bedroom, two-story place within walking distance to shopping and the R-line. Rent is $1,095.00 per month. Small pets are OK. PHP developers can apply, too. :-)

Thanks, 
Martin

Thomas,

<http://gist.github.com/274852>

At that point in the code 'name' is outside the Class Dog context.  To
me it appears it should be attached to the instance trying to use it.
The gist above is my attempt at making the code run.

Actually, wouldn't this work?

fido.can(:poo) { "is smelly." }

because method_missing has this code "#{@name} #{verb}"

Otherwise you'd get something like "Fido Fido is smelly." I think.

This is a closure issue, which Ruby does lexically. Because your block 
is defined outside the Dog instance, #{name} will be called on the 
top-level context, or in other words, the "main" Object within which the 
script runs.  However, if your method instance_evals the block, the call 
will be done properly.  Or prefix name with local instance of Dog - e.g. 
"#{fido.name}". For the former, change line 21 to read like so:

@actions[action] = instance_eval(&blk) if block_given?

Thanks all. instance_eval did work as advertised. My final working
code is at http://gist.github.com/274830, in case you were interested.

So is this essentially the analogue of JavaScript's call() method for Function objects? I was trying to find a way to pass a context into the block, but it looks more like you pass the block into a context.

Actually, I just added this line as the last in the file:

  p stimpy.instance_eval { cry }

and it printed the same thing as "stimpy.cry". So I guess I answered my own question :-)

Message-ID: <37C1BECF-9D28-46AF-8982-B950F8098E7B@37signals.com>


Cross posting this to the Raleigh.rb and MySQL Meetup mailing lists because I suspect there's interest in both groups.

Percona has announced that they're going to be doing a couple of days of MySQL training in Raleigh on April 22nd and 23rd.  The first day is focused on developing for MySQL, query optimization, caching, and so on.  The second day is more DBA focused and deals with production issues.  Single day training is $450, and if you want both it runs $765.

I'm fairly certain that I'll be going to both days, I can't speak highly enough of the folks at Percona.

More info is available here:

Pay close attention, as I'm changing things up on you this week!

We're going back to BAJA BURRITO for the winter - it's too cold
outside at Ruckus these days. I'll be there around 5:30, and would
love to have anyone and everyone join me to chat a bit and unwind
before heading over to Red Hat for the meeting proper.

I discovered a few days ago that due to some misconfiguration by my
isp after an outage, although I had outbound internet access, they
weren't sending inbound port 80 connections to me, so my blog and
other 'hobby' web sites I host here at chez DeNatale weren't
accessible to the great masses.

I didn't realize this since my router was recognizing the ip address
as it's own, so requests from inside the lan were working find.

Does anyone know of a reasonably priced service which will monitor
such things, and let me know if my site(s) can't be seen via the
intertubes?

I use a generic uptime service which doesn't have any great benefits

Hey y'all. Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. I neglected to grab my blue iPod Nano from the podium after Ken's excellent talk. Did someone else pick it up for me? Brenton already checked the podium and it wasn't there.

I'd hate to lose the recording of Ken's speech, which I was going to post to the podcast.

I hope this is okay to post....

The local Linux user group's next meeting is going to be about SQLite.
I am posting this here because SQLite seems to be pretty popular in
the Ruby community.

Subject: [TriLUG] coming up... SQLite
To: Triangle Linux Users Group General Discussion <trilug at trilug.org>



We've got another good program lined up for next month, so mark your
calendars for February 11th. ?We will be hosting D. Richard Hipp, the
author of SQLite.

Quoting Wikipedia, because they explain it so well...

SQLite is an ACID-compliant embedded relational database management
system contained in a relatively small (~225 kB) C programming
library. The source code for SQLite is in the public domain.

The SQLite engine is not a standalone process with which the
application program communicates. Instead, the SQLite library is
linked in and thus becomes an integral part of the application program
(though the library can be built into a dynamically loaded library).
The entire database (definitions, tables, indices, and the data
itself) is stored as a single cross-platform file on a host machine.

</wikipedia>
It's me again...

SQLite is so small and powerful and robust, it is an ideal choice for
embedded systems. ?SQLite is included in Apple's iphone SDK, and it
can be found in crazy places like the TMIO Intelligent Oven. ?SQLite
is often used by desktop applications for configuration data.
Examples include Firefox, Sunbird, epiphany, bitpim, and eclipse.

Dr. Hipp has asked if we have specific topics that we would like for
him to discuss, or if we'd just like him to surprise us.

Those who went to South East Linux Fest last year got to see him speak
on the "Firefox fsync() bug". ?It was very enlightening.

Suggestions? ?I will be sending him an email later this week with our
requests. ?Personally, I am thinking that he'll have plenty of good
stories for us, even if we don't have any special requests for him.

Alan

Message-ID: <64217eee1001251702l499e04d5ncb65ed335cf63cb1@mail.gmail.com>

This is an open invitation to anyone, but will probably be of most
interest to freelancers in Raleigh.  I'm a freelancer who lives right
downtown (love it!) and usually work from my home every day.  However,
I try to get out of the house once or twice a week to keep from going
stir-crazy.  Lately I have been spending one or two mornings a week at
the Morning Times (http://www.morningtimes-raleigh.com/).  They have
decent coffee, pretty good breakfasts, and a nice big room upstairs
with plenty of tables, chairs, and wall outlets.  Very laid back.

Anyway, when you work from home, sometimes its nice to get out of the
house and actually talk to other human beings, so if anyone is ever
interested in hanging out together for a few hours while they work and
is near downtown Raleigh, drop me a line.

While I'm not a freelancer, I do work from home.  Unfortunately, downtown
Raleigh is a bit out of the way for me.  I spend many mornings working from
Its A Grind, a coffee shop on the corner of Davis and High House in western
Cary, but I'm not attached to it.  Anywhere in western Cary, Morrisville, or
north-western Raleigh would be fairly convenient for me if anyone's
interested in meeting up.

Myself and a couple others are planning on heading to the Morning

I have a marathon conference call I have to sit in on tomorrow
morning, but I will try to make it over there either before or after.
Hopefully I will see you there.

TJ, to help make identification easier, could you do something simple
like tattoo "RUBY" across your forehead or maybe shave your head
except for a giant "R" mohawk?

Another popular place for the slightly west of Raleigh crowd is The Wake Zone in Apex. Maybe we could become more consistent in our use of the #nomading hashtag to make it easier to find the nomaders.

Anyone interested in meeting up at The Wake Zone tomorrow morning?  If not,

I think Matthew Bass and myself are planning on heading to the Wake
