Subject: [Boulder Ruby Group] Installing rubygems in a user directory
Message-ID: <AANLkTi=Stapmaa_yfcTM_i-Sy6jQEUTix++NhKVzvn90@mail.gmail.com>

Group,

I think I'm stumbling over an environment setting, but I can't see
where it is.  I'm trying to upgrade some Ubuntu 10 boxes that have
rubygems installed via apt-get, and they are stuck on version 1.2.
The gem list --remote comand doesn't work (cant remember the error
now) but it's complaining about not being able to get to rubyforge,so
I think the rubygems install is just too old.

Naturally, I don't have root access on these boxes, so I'd like to try
and install rubygems in the user directory.  It's for a class
(starting Monday) so it doesn't need to be a permanent solution.

I've downloaded, installed via ruby setup.rb --prefix ~/rubygems137,
but when I run ~/rubygems137/bin/gem --version, I get the old version.

I've tried resetting the gem_home and gem_path environment variables,
but it keeps running the old version.

What else?
Joe

RVM might be the best tool to manage a per-user Ruby install and the required gem dependencies:

http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/

I haven't used it on Linux, but I've been using it successfully on OSX for the last 6+ months.

Hope that helps.

Patrick,

Thanks!  Someone else mentioned that, too.  I had the students
copy/paste the commands into a terminal window, and it worked like a
charm!  I was so intent trying to get rubygems replaced that I didn't
think to replace all of ruby.

Joe

Message-ID: <53AB34BC-581A-4C27-9B41-52C388765D1F@opscode.com>

Hello!

Cross posting this between Boulder Ruby and Denver Rails.

Many of you have attended the meetings where I talked about Chef in the last year. For the last few months, Opscode has been developing and running our training program, Chef Fundamentals, which is a 3 day technical course on how Chef works and how to use it.

We are currently planning public training events and would like to know if there's sufficient interest in the Denver/Boulder area to hold a class. If this is something you're interested in, please see our training page:

http://www.opscode.com/training

Sign up form at the bottom. Indicate that you're in Boulder/Denver in the "Tell us more" section; use code 'denverruby' for a special discount. Class size is limited to 12, but we can hold more classes.

Currently we're pricing the training at $1500, but that may be lowered depending on venue, travel and number of signups and does not take into account the discount code.

Hey Everyone,

We just posted the speakers and a rough schedule for the conference.
Please check it out: http://mountainrb.com.  We'll be posting talk
titles and descriptions in the next week but given the top notch
Rubyists traveling to Boulder, their topics probably don't matter as
much.

Also, early bird pricing ends September 6th so don't miss out.

Cheers,
Marty

Subject: [Boulder Ruby Group] Any Project Euler enthusiasts in the area?
Message-ID: <353207.68510.qm@web65407.mail.ac4.yahoo.com>

Hello Boulder Rubyists
I came across?Project Euler?recently as a good way to learn Ruby; solving the mathematical problems there has been very addictive!
Ran into issues with some of the problems where my brute-force method of programmatically analyzing every possible path/option did not work- the program ran for more than a day before I lost patience. So was wondering if anyone one else in this group has been bitten by this bug before and could suggest some alternate approaches to these problems.?
A couple of problems that I have difficulty solving:Problem 12:?What is the value of the first triangle number to have over five hundred divisors?
Problem 44:?Find the smallest pair of pentagonal numbers whose sum and difference is pentagonal.

Cheers,

Prakash N Murthy

Awesome! Good to know someone here is not only into Project Euler, but also very close to Level 3! I am slowly inching towards Level 2.?
I ran into the same issues with Problem #66 as well; when a 8-core machine couldn't handle it, I can stop beating up on my MacBook Air for failing to finish :-)
Looking forward to reach the Expert and Legend level on Project Euler with some paired-problem solving in the future!

FWIW, an embarrassing number of recent 'wins' have been achieved not through elegance or insight, but by parallelizing the solution and running 7 copies on my 8-core work machine until it finishes. :p Sadly/thankfully, I think we've finally hit problems where this order-of-magnitude gain--and our willingness to sometimes wait overnight for a solution--are no longer sufficient. For example, our latest brute-force attempt at problem #66 ran over the weekend and got stuck on step 149/1000.--

Hi All
Ben Atkin (@benatkin) and I are planning to drive down to Nashville next week for the Ruby Hoedown and Nuby Hoedown tracks - a very interesting line up on all three days. And there is no registration fee for either of them!
There is place for two more people in the car - who wants to join us on a geeky road trip? :-)
The plan is :?Leave from CO : Tuesday ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Aug 31st morningArrive in TN ? ? ?: Wednesday ? ? ? ? ? Sep 1st evening
Nuby Hoedown ?: Thursday ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Sep 2ndRuby Hoedown ?: Friday & Saturday Sep 3rd & 4th?
Leave TN ? ? ? ? ?: Sunday ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Sep 5thArrive in CO ? ? ?: Monday ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Sep 6th?? ?
Planning to stay at this awesome hostel in downtown Nashville - very close to where the conference is held - which has dorm beds for just $25 per day!?
Let us know at the earliest so we can figure out the details of the trip.?
Cheers,
