New Relic

A whole company forms around the idea of Ruby on Rails scalability. I’m hoping a lot of neat stuff comes from this.

Updating Rubygems

nicholasjon@nicholasjon.com (Nick) — Thu, 15 Mar 2007 05:24:03 GMT

Here’s how I updated my MacBook Pro from Rails 1.2.1 to Rails 1.2.3:

sudo gem update --system
sudo mv /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/source_cache ~/tmp
mv ~/.gem/ ~/tmp/
gem sources
sudo gem install rails --include-dependencies

Those five lines of code took about an hour and some serious Googling to figure out. Ah well, back to work.

Update: You may (probably will) get an error after you run “sudo gem install rails—include-dependencies”. I’m not sure exactly why, but running the same command again will finally update your Rails install. Anyone with a better solution should feel free to pop a comment down below.

Rails developers: Use params, not @params

nicholasjon@nicholasjon.com (Nick) — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 20:31:24 GMT

I’m guilty in the worst way — I’ve been doing about half with @ and half without with no real logic

SwitchTower is now Capistrano

nicholasjon@nicholasjon.com (Nick) — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 20:31:07 GMT

For crying out loud, I just figured out how to use the damn thing and now they go and change the name to something which evokes the image of Jack Benny singing about swallows… but I’m the only person under 80 who thinks of stuff like that
