If you need to render ERB markup that is stored in a database or a string, I discovered an easy way (though finding it was a little harder). I found a tip via a Robby On Rails blog post, which led me to the ticket he opened with a patch and a comment from the [...]
After about 2 years of using Rails, I realized that I haven’t updated my rubygems installation since I first started. I started to upgrade by downloading rubygems 0.9.3 and running the setup.rb and I encountered the following error:
hook C:/downloads/rubygems-0.9.3/rubygems-0.9.3/./post-install.rb failed:
install directory # not absolute
Since I work on Windows, the various forum posts didn’t help me [...]
I have to say – I’m hooked on Software as a Service (SaaS). I’ve been using quite a few services personally, but I know I’m truly hooked when I refuse to use anything not offered as SaaS for my web application. If it isn’t as easy as adding in a Javascript tag or calling a [...]
In the continuing saga of making soap4r work under Rails, I’ve found another issue that needs to be noted. Under some operating systems, the following exception was being raised:
soap4r-1.5.5.20061022/lib/xsd/xmlparser/parser.rb:33:in `create_parser’: You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it! (NoMethodError)

NameError: uninitialized constant SOAP::Mapping::EncodedRegistry
While I found some support for [...]
Pam at Escape from Cubicle Nation has a great post on how relationships with those you know may change as you shift from corporate to entrepreneur. I have to agree – I experienced some of those shifts as well. It not only revealed to me how settled I had become in my previous role by [...]
I have a Dell PowerEdge that I wanted to convert into a one server lab using VMWare. Being a Gentoo fan, I thought first about using it to power the VMWare server host, but opted to give Ubuntu Edgy a try first. It went pretty smooth and so far I am pleased with the results.

WP-Referstat is an add-on to the popular WP-ShortStat by Jeff Minard. It came from my need to view more details about incoming referrers than what is made available in the ShortStat tab. In addition, the plugin also supports Snap Preview Anywhere (“SPA”) if the SPA Wordpress plugin is installed.

There has been quite a discussion around the development of concurrent applications for multi-core processors. This meme is interesting to me since I just wrapped up a project where I architected a system that processes high volumes of data (~10TB) using a Java-based distributed computing solution.
While many of the posts are related to the [...]
