Sorry, Hal, but "a handful of guys who look like computer freaks" is not a distinguishing feature in this town... :) Don't sweat it, I'm not shy. If I show up...
Hey guys, Good to meet some of you today! I haven't been in a group like this since the days of my Atari 800 :) Here is that project I mentioned today: ...
Thanks Jim. I read about it a little bit and thought it might be about the same as what I'm doing, but it is not. In the langauge grammar is in yet another...
... Ok, this is impressive after one week of Ruby. ... This doesn't seem legal. Multiplying two ranges. I get: undefined method `*' for "0".."9":Range...
... Unfortunately, I haven't been nearly as productive since then. Mainly what I did then was a proof of concept. Working out details and coming up with a...
Lunch is at Zuzu's, near the Compass bank on the corner of 2222 and Mopac. See you there at 11:20. -- Jim Freeze Theory and practice are the same, in theory....
After talking about it a little at lunch yesterday, I decided to post some of my thoughts on this subject on ruby-talk. If you are interested take a look at...
Hi Guys I released my first gem today - OptionParser. You can install it with: gem install -r OptionParser However, it has a loading issue. require 'rubygems' ...
With the gems I've released, you only require one file. I put this in my gemspec: s.require_path = '.' s.autorequire = 'cursor' and to use it, you do this: ...
... I don't know what these are. I can guess at require_path, but what does autorequire do? ... Hmm, I need to fix this so it is: require 'optionparser' -- Jim...
... you'll probably want: require_path = 'lib' autorequire = 'commandline/optionparser' ... I think you'll need to use "require_gem", not "require". ...
... I meant to say require 'rubygems' doesn't put the gems in the $: path list for require. require_gem <gem> does add paths for that gem to the list. This...
Jim, Thanks for the enlightment you gave us at lunch about ensure. This seems to work fine: begin x[i] ensure i += 1 end which is equivalent to: tmp = x[i]; i...
Uhm, let me retract that last benchmark. I have posted another one below where to the two CUTs (code under test) actually do the same job. It is also much...
Here is another way to do it. I'm iterating over an entire array (million elements). I tried the ensure inside and outside the []. I also tried using a tmp...
Yes - I'm giving the JRuby talk and I've only been working with it for 1 week or so. Just kindof a what do we find here.... kind of talk. JRuby is in the...
... Wow, you're an ARTCTAN member. Cool. I'll go easy on you Sam. I'm looking forward to your talk. But if Duncan is there, well, it might not be so pretty. ;)...
I would like to go to the AustinJUG meeting too. I've never been to a JUG before. I'll confirm my attendance in the afternoon. It's interesting to have a Ruby...
Hey guys, I just wanted to say thanks to all who came out to the talk and thanks for the support. Sam P.S. - I had several requests for the slides. If you...
