Thoughts and tutorials on programming. Thursday, July 23, 2009. How to compile using visual studio for ruby. Extension building in ruby on windows is a little complicated, because the "mainstream" one click installer uses mingw for its build, which is based on a rather outdated msvcrt.dll [version 6 I believe- the one used by Visual Studio 6, no longer in production]. It is, however, according to Charlie Savage, possible to mix code built from newer compilers into it [1]. Ie (summarizing) "If it uses ALL...

Programming gone awry: how to compile ruby with increased garbage size
http://programming-gone-awry.blogspot.com/2009/08/how-to-compile-ruby-with-increased.html
Thoughts and tutorials on programming. Wednesday, August 05, 2009. How to compile ruby with increased garbage size. You may have noticed when you're running long-ish rails processes in windows that it sometimes pauses briefly, then continues on its merry way. I have, at least. The problem can be attributed to the garbage collector. Ex: with one operation large table.find(:all).each{ .}. I would receive something like 10 0.10 second pauses before it finished- increasing my overall time by at least 25%.

Programming gone awry: Benefits of Firefox
http://programming-gone-awry.blogspot.com/2009/09/benefits-of-firefox.html
Thoughts and tutorials on programming. Wednesday, September 23, 2009. The benefits of firefox:. The adblock plus plugin [plus myriad other plugins]. Reasonably speedy, well supported. It takes up more RAM than Chrome (i.e. slower for older machines), renders, for me, slightly slower than Safari/Chrome [in windows, at least]. Written only to be able to say I was the first to sidewiki FF :). In reference to: Firefox Browser Free ways to customize your Internet. View on Google Sidewiki.

Programming gone awry: June 2009

Thoughts and tutorials on programming. Tuesday, June 23, 2009. Rdocs for all gems from rubyforge. I am pleased to announce the release of my site that has the rdocs for [almost] all existing rubygems. It also eliminates the need for running a local gem server. These gems' rdocs are all in the hanna theme, which provides for method search and an easy on the eyes layout. Though darkfish is also quite pretty, it isn't as easy to read because of font contrast.
