David,

An issue we have fond with Story runner


|require File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), "helper")

Story "Strange Behavior", %{

}, :type => RailsStory do

    Scenario "Scenario:" do

         Given "Given:" do

        end

         And "the contact 'Dan'"  do

         puts "########################And 1" 

        end

         And "a note by Patrick Ramsden for the contact 'Dan'"  do

         puts "@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@And 2" 

         end     

    end

    Scenario "Scenario:" do

         Given "can have (any) paretheses" do

        end

    end

I couldn't access the site also, but then I found out that Text Drive
had restarted their server, so our chirb.org backend lighttpd was not
running.

 

I restarted it and all seem to be well now.

Subject: [Chirb] BARcamp Updates
Message-ID: <47321AF9.2050800@hostedlabs.com>

Hi Everyone!

   So its been a while since BARcamp Chicago 2007 and wanted to update 
everyone on a bunch of stuff..

   OK, so first, Keith Schacht of ChicagoBeta/JobCoin/Facebook App fame 
had set up a free public job board for ChicagoBeta and BARcamp Chicago 
communities.  There have been a few postings there (including a few from 
my company ;-) ) and wanted to let everyone know that its free to all 
and available.  Check it out, post your jobs, etc.:

http://barcampbeta.jobcoin.com/


   Next up, we have some very cool events coming up this month.  These 
are great places to meet other start-ups, smart people and, do as I do, 
get drunk off of free booze.. ;-)

Thu Nov 8th 8:00am - Early Stage Marketplace:
http://www.chicagolandchamber.org/sub/event_calendar_detail.asp?EVE_ID=930

Thu Nov 8th 5pm - Songza Launch Party (Aza and Humanized gang presented 
at BARcamp):
http://www.songza.com/

Tue Nov 13th 6:15pm - MIT-EF Breakthrough Computer Interfaces (Aza 
again.. man he gets around ;-) ):
http://www.mitefchicago.org/dojo/18/v.jsp?p=/home

Thu Nov 15th 6:30pm - The great TECHcocktail 6! (bet you Aza will be there):
http://www.techcocktail.com/blog/


   Also, thanks to Henry Lee of Transwestern, we may have a very good 
venue for BARcamp next year.  Connect with me or the BARcamp organizer 
list at LUNI to get involved!


   Lastly, I wanted to get feedback from all of you on something a lot 
of people asked for in the past.  Should we have 2 BARcamps a year, 
spring and fall, rather than 1 in the summer?

Email me back with a vote or thoughts.  How many BARcamps per year? 1 or 2?

   Looking forward to seeing you all soon and hope this years been great 
for everyone!

-jason

Thanks Andy and Nick for putting together the presentation and, most importantly, the new project itself. Thanks TW for being such a nice host for the event.

Could you guys post the links and maybe the slides for us?

Subject: [Chirb] JRuby on RCP: Glimmer Code Now Available
Message-ID: <620ca2c40711230108g2aba4a9u2c2be508f582c683@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I finally blogged about Glimmer (JRuby DSL for SWT UI Library):
http://andymaleh.blogspot.com/2007/11/sneak-peak-at-glimmer.html

And uploaded its code:
http://andymaleh.blogspot.com/2007/11/glimmer-shining-through.html

If you decide to play with it, I would be curious to hear about your
experience and any ideas you may come up with to improve the API.

The next tasks on our slate are:
-Support for two-way data-binding: this will make it possible to write very
clean and testable desktop applications with Glimmer following the
Model-View-Presenter architectural pattern
-Support for RCP: this will help increase productivity as it saves
developers from having to re-invent views, editors, wizards, preferences,
progress monitors, etc...

Stay tuned for more blog posts and code to come from me and Nick Malnick.

Best regards,

Andy Maleh
