Freestyle Haiku: September 2006
http://freestylehaiku.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 05, 2006. I thought this deserved its own post. The crocodile hunter met his end doing something he loved, in a way that was completely fitting. And even though he didnt want to die, that might very well be the way he would have wanted to go. Death by stingray. None the less, i was surprisingly sad when i heard this news. i cant explain it, but i sat up in bed last night at 3am when i heard the news and thought, "what the fuck? Cmon not the god-damned crocodile hunter! I'm thinking fro...

Monday, September 24, 2007. JRuby 1.0.1 on Edge Rails 1.2.3.7605. First, visit http:/ jruby.codehaus.org and download the JRuby 1.0.1 binaries.

Saturday, April 29, 2006. A Loss of Innocence. On this, the twenty-ninth day of april two thousand and six, i can no longer claim that i have never attended a bikini carwash. And besides all that, it was a good excuse to go and buy some more beer. we were getting low. I was starting to wish that i would have made it to the gym a couple times over the past week. this was gonna be a big day. Where were the fake breasts pressed against the windows of my car? I am sure that all of the "chrome girls" are love...

Friday, December 21, 2007. JRuby 1.0.3, Rubygems 0.9.5 TypeError. Here's that error again: After updating Rubygems to 0.9.5 (yeah, I know 1.0.0 just came out, but that one does some weird stuff with bin script filenames that I'd rather not deal with right now), trying to install rails gives:. ERROR: While executing gem . (TypeError). Can't convert nil into Array. According to the response I got from Eric on the Rubygems patch. All of those constructor methods call. Def yaml initialize tag, val. So here's...

Tuesday, March 20, 2007. Web Programming, Hobo-style. Today I embark on a great journey. I've been reading about Ruby on Rails since my buddy Jeremiah. In a word: Wow! All the great stuff that I had heard about Rails was true. It was just what I was looking for: a standardized system designed to handle all of the repetitive, tedious tasks that go along with building web applications, like creating data objects with dozens of properties to match your database columns. If it asks you what to do with any sp...

Wednesday, January 03, 2007. Access ASP = Bad. The problem starts to appear when you start programming more complicated databases, such as multiple tables and multiple-step drill-down queries. If you think your script through procedurally, you tend to come up with a process like:. Find all records of table A, and get foreign key bID that points to ID field of table B. For each record in A:. Select * from B where ID=" and A.bID. But what if you need something that's faster and easier than creating a class...

Monday, January 14, 2008. Runnable Java Procs in JRuby. One of the cool features of the JRuby Swing GUI builder library, Profligacy. By the ever awesome Zed Shaw of Mongrel fame) is the Proc#to runnable method that converts procs into a java.lang.Runnable interface that can be passed into any Java method that accepts an instance of Runnable, such as java.lang.Thread.new(). Profligacy's implementation looks something like this:. Include java.lang.Runnable. I prefer doing this instead:. Thistask = r;.

Bowling Team Photo Night. State of the Union. Stay Poor. Stay Happy. Var health:value = low;. The Old Playoff Grind. Life is a Jug of Beer with a Girl that Broke Your . A Loss of Innocence. You're not done yet? In the case of my deck, i dont really blame anyone for asking, its just getting tiresome. While i'm sure there are many sarcastic or clever answers to the question, i've decided to stick with the ol' tried and true, "nope". Here's the frame. turns out all the cross bracing was a little bit of ...
