Howdy all,
This is just a quick reminder that the CFP and early registration ends
for the Ruby Hoedown 2008 tomorrow.  The price will go up to $199, so
register now and save $50 (or more if you read Ruby Inside...).
Register here: http://rubyhoedown.eventwax.com/ruby-hoedown-2008/register

Our CFP is shaping up to give us a great set of talks, but we'd love
to see more.  Get those proposals in!  Find more information on

Subject: [raleigh.rb] SQS-like system
Message-ID: <7ce1d32f0806031150p2ef519e5hba5fc858809dc7d3@mail.gmail.com>

Gang,
One of my projects is in need of a queueing system.

My initial search revealed the queue and starling gems as possible starting
points.

I think I looking for something like a local version of Amazon SQS.

Create simple persistent queues that workers can take objects out of with a
timeout.

Eventually allow the queues to replicate across multiple servers to avoid
loss of data.

The reason I am not choosing to go with SQS, is bandwidth and overhead
between my deployment servers and Amazon.

Would love to hear any suggestions.

I've been using Ruby Queue for well over a year now to farm out
Selenium tests.  It's about as simple as queuing/clustering can get
and it's rock solid.

We've been using Starling to queue short-turnaround jobs (currently  
we're using it for site-based instant messaging and instant sessions).

If anyone is interested in the opportunity Hugh posted, I think it's 
with teampages.com. They were looking for developers at RailsConf with a 
description that sounds just like this one. I mention it, because you'd 
do better to contact them directly than to go through the recruiter. 
Also, I think they are based out of Canada if my memory is correct.

Thanks,
Sean

Nice job Matthew.

 

I recently used Google Charts on StatSheet.com.  You can create custom
college basketball stat charts and see the output as either a Flash-based
chart or image chart (via Google Charts).  I also create thumbnails of each
chart using Google Charts:

 

http://statsheet.com/chart_list

 

http://statsheet.com/chart_builder

 

Overall the API is pretty flexible, but not necessarily the easiest to work
with for complex charts.  Also, Google limits the size of the URL they
accept to around 2076 characters, which means you can't generate charts with
large data sets (at least yet).

As usual, anyone who's available is invited to join me at 5:30 tonight
at Baja Burrito (http://tinyurl.com/2o2luk) to grab dinner and some
Ruby chatter before heading over to Red Hat for the meeting.

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

Looking forward to it,

I'm in.  Can anyone give me some advice for the best way to get there  
from Wake Forest at that time of day?  I've tried a couple of  
different routes and they've both been a disaster.  Am I just looking  
at an hour drive no matter what?

I'm in.

Mark, the route I usually take is 401 to Capital, then Capital through
downtown. After passing downtown, there is an exit to Western which will get
you to Avent Ferry. It's still a good 45 minute drive, though, under ideal
circumstances.


I know Rick has experimented with taking 540 to 64, then in to 440 and
around the south side of town. I'm not sure how that's worked for him...
maybe he can comment.

Yep, that's my preferred route, when I'm coming from or going to Wake
Forest.

But usually now I come to the meetings from Durham, so it's usually a fight
with the traffic on eastbound I-40.

It looks like I'm going to have to eat afterwards. My MacBook just rebooted
on me and I've got quite a few edits to my slides to redo before the
meeting.

Rubyists,

I hate to bug you guys about this, but I'm at a loss.  I need to rent a 
piano dolly/truck for July 3 to move our spinet piano into our new 
place.  Every place I seem to call doesn't carry it and doesn't have any 
ideas about who would.   Do you know of one? The places I've rented them 
in KC usually rent tools and contracting equipment (scaffolding, etc), 
if that helps.

Excited about the move to Chapel Hill,

Sean Cribbs

I feel an urge to make a comment like:

"No wireless, less space than a Nomad.  Lame."

But I'd be wrong :)

I just pinged an acquaintance about this and she said she's had good
luck moving a piano locally with "Two Men and a Truck" (the name of
the company). Perhaps that's a good place to start.

Local friends with pianos say they've moved with these two and got good
results. I suppose that means nothing broke.Maybe they would rent gear as
well.

Is there a way in Rails to do a popup menu?  What I want to do have a
popup to gather info and pass it say via Ajax.  It looks a lot better to
do a popup than simply go to another page.

I am trying to figure out why the controller is redirecting my action.
I have a form that specifies the action to be "mark_final".  I see in
the console that it has been redirected to "mark_final":
127.0.0.1 - - [27/Jun/2008:11:20:29 Eastern Daylight Time] "POST
/email_templates/confirm_mark HTTP/1.1" 200 4765

http://localhost:3000/email_templates/ -> /email_templates/confirm_mark

127.0.0.1 - - [27/Jun/2008:11:20:53 Eastern Daylight Time] "POST
/email_templates/mark_final HTTP/1.1" 404 11488

http://localhost:3000/email_templates/confirm_mark ->
/email_templates/mark_final

 
The problem is that it then fails in the "update" action because it
can't find an emailtemplate (the name of the controller) with an ID of
"mark_final".  Apparently it thought I was attempting to update an
emailtemplate with that ID.  This is despite the fact that I have a
valid method "mark_final".  I have set breakpoints on the two methods
and verified that is what it is trying to do.
 
Here is the view that for "confirm_mark":
 
<% form_for @currsqlfile, :url=>{:action=> :mark_final} do |f|%>

<h1>Mark Templates as Final</h1>

<b><% if flash[:notice] %><div class="notice"><%= flash[:notice]
%></div><% end %></b>

<p>

<b>WARNING - </b> Once templates are marked as final, they can not
longer be edited. 

You will still be able to view and export them.

I'm not sure what's going on, Raymond. You might try specifying a full URL
on your form tag (e.g. :url => { :controller => "email_templates", :action
=> "mark_final" })

I'd also try expressing the form tag this way:


form_for :*currsqlfile*, :url=>{:action=> :mark_final}


If neither of these work, please paste the output from your log file here
and include the error message you're getting from your update action.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I seem to be able to get the route correct.
The problem is that I want to actually gather a piece of information
from a text field and then perform some special updates including
changing the "version" field.   I seem to be able to either:
- Pop up the screen and route to any method
- Provide a form to up date fields.
 
1. If I try to put a link_to or button inside the form, it will simply
go to the update method for that object.
2. If I put the link or button outside the form, I don't seem to be pass
the values from the form i.e., params hash) but determine the method to
be called.
 
It seems like a simple thing.

I'm not sure what's going on, Raymond. You might try specifying a full
URL on your form tag (e.g. :url => { :controller => "email_templates",
:action => "mark_final" }) 

 
I'd also try expressing the form tag this way:

 
form_for :currsqlfile, :url=>{:action=> :mark_final}

 
If neither of these work, please paste the output from your log file
here and include the error message you're getting from your update
action.

	I am trying to figure out why the controller is redirecting my
action.  I have a form that specifies the action to be "mark_final".  I
see in the console that it has been redirected to "mark_final":
	127.0.0.1 - - [27/Jun/2008:11:20:29 Eastern Daylight Time] "POST
/email_templates/confirm_mark HTTP/1.1" 200 4765

	http://localhost:3000/email_templates/ ->
/email_templates/confirm_mark

	127.0.0.1 - - [27/Jun/2008:11:20:53 Eastern Daylight Time] "POST
/email_templates/mark_final HTTP/1.1" 404 11488

	http://localhost:3000/email_templates/confirm_mark ->
/email_templates/mark_final

	
	 
	The problem is that it then fails in the "update" action because
it can't find an emailtemplate (the name of the controller) with an ID
of "mark_final".  Apparently it thought I was attempting to update an
emailtemplate with that ID.  This is despite the fact that I have a
valid method "mark_final".  I have set breakpoints on the two methods
and verified that is what it is trying to do.
	 
	Here is the view that for "confirm_mark":
	 
	<%

	form_for @currsqlfile, :url=>{:action=> :mark_final} do |f|%> 

	

	<

	h1>Mark Templates as Final</h1> 

	<

	b><% if flash[:notice] %><div class="notice"><%= flash[:notice]
%></div><% end %></b> 

	<

	p> 

	

	<b>WARNING - </b> Once templates are marked as final, they can
not longer be edited. 

	You will still be able to view and export them.

	</

	p> 

	

	<b>Notes:</b> 

	

	<b>Please enter any deployment notes:</b><br> 

	

	<%= f.text_area :notes %> 

	

	

	</p><br> 

	

	<%= button_to 'Submit', :action => 'mark_final' %> 

	<%

	end -%>
