Installing Python 2.4 on Leopard
April 06, 2008 at 08:35PM
Today I wanted to try out plone. Unfortunately the python that comes bundled with Mac OS 10.5 isn’t liked by the tarball. More unfortunate is that the python 2.4 tarball has an error with the setpgrp argument. Specifically that none of the arguments are assigned.
There is a solution to this problem
When you se the config you must include the os deployment target like so -
./configure “insert-args-here” MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5
Hope that helps.
Also I must download coderay bronto

Sifr- still working on
October 21, 2007 at 12:56AM
Ok I am getting somewhere with all of this coding. But the payoff of small beside the satisfaction. Sifr is not the wonderkind code I was hoping it would be. I’m still working with the javascript so hopefully I can hack it enough to suit my needs. It does not play nicely with scriptalous. I have it working in large gallery mode. It loads late though and is irking me off. Much more exciting is that I have my error messages working properly. Akismit is up thanks to the wonderful tutorial at railscasts.com. So now it’s just a bit more of fine tuning and hopefully I can then concentrate on blogging more and coding less and give back with a few short tutorials.

Sifr
October 18, 2007 at 10:31PM
Sifr! you will be the bane of my existence. At least in the ruby world where nobody talks about you. You are so so pretty and wonderful and I have no clue or tutorial to turn to for getting you working for my website. Is it so much to ask that all rdoc are useful for beginners. It’s hard enough getting to this point but then to continue onward always against a current of ignorance. I can’t stand it. If anyone has suggestions I am opened to creating a program to streamline the process

Coding for IE6
October 17, 2007 at 11:56PM
We’ll I’m officially becoming a coder since I’ve actually gone through my code and tried it to comply to ie6. It’s not as bad as a browser as most coders make out. It’s bad, but mostly in the fact that’s it very opinionated and doesn’t support png which is just criminal. Most important lesson I learned today is to make sure doctype is the first line for your code no exceptions. NONE! it puts IE in quirky mode but worse it masks errors in css for other browsers. I had reams of forgotten px that were rendering fine because Firefox is forgiving. Nice but not a good coding stratagem.

YAY!
Ok after a whole day wrestling with Lunerpages I’ve have made the switch over to hostingrails.com. Damn is it so much nicer. I never knew how much lunar crippled the Cpanel. In fact I never knew the cpanel wasn’t their own creation till today. Tutorial was the breeze would have been up and running in ten minutes if not for the massive uploading. 200 megs of photos. But it’s all worth it. It’s nearly done. Well 1.0 anyway, still many bugs and usability features I need to add. Such as Askmit, and have the photo’s load nicer. But’s it’s fast, and that’s all that matters. I hope

Two Weeks Gone
October 14, 2007 at 03:20AM
Almost ready to deploy version 1 of the website. Holding back on my Resume till I’ve had a moment to polish the wording. Pretty happy with how everything has come together, but I’m am growing a bit disillusioned with the ruby community concerning documentation. I lost nearly two days figuring out tagging. There was just no information available for the gem. It’s a pretty standard requirement to show in the readme file how the gem operates and not just the classes and mixins. But I’ll save that for a full blown post

Day 2 on the blog and then some
October 01, 2007 at 11:50PM
Ok I have clocked in 12 hours on a saturday constructing this blog of mine. 5 of which I have puttered around making mistake after mistake not really understanding what I’m doing wrong Link:http.rubyonrails.com isn’t enough help when it coms to the innumerable problems a new developer is facing. And the books. the books are a consistent joke. They teach basic high end skills but don’t teach fundamentals.
luckily I’m insane and can get through anything with my monumental patience. I’m going to start documenting the process starting with the next phase.
