Well, im impressed.

I have 10 large datafile ( plus 4gb of data each) that I play about with, its the grace note list of artists, releases etc..

My old simple script was ruby, active record and mysql, to import 8 and a half million rows.

This used to take around 24 minutes, and eat my processor and ram for fun.

Well, after a lot of fixing of the gems ( mostly deprecated syntax and such
) I got it installed, but now I get the weirdest error. Basically everything
works except from the fact that, when I'm running a file that uses the
library, when the interpreter should exit ( i.e. after reading all the lines

No but I like the look of that library! Thanks for the link.

Can you print an error message or some indication of what's going wrong?

Hi all,

I've been fiddling around with a linguistics
library<[link]>for ruby that
has a link parser module which wraps around the link-grammar
from abiword and I'm having some trouble getting things to work together.

Has anybody ever used this ?

Thanks,

NWRUG signup reminder (for tomorrow)

Hi all

If you're coming to the NWRUG event tomorrow, please sign up on the
event page. The BBC like to know who is coming in advance of the
event. It means they can prepare passes beforehand instead of as
people turn up.

Will says people often forget to sign up, so I thought I'd send out

I've just thought... do you or anyone else have a Mini-DVI to VGA
adapter? Mine keeps going on the blink, unless it's my MacBook
itself. This one works, but generally takes 10 mins of fiddling to
get the colour right.

This one is gonna be a community effort :)

I can rustle up a couple of apple keyboards, but we will have plane
"dell" type mice. (but lets be honest, mightmice suck :p). Will save
people lugging stuff around :)

Hi all

Anyone got a spare Apple keyboard and a mouse they can bring to NWRUG? It will be better if we have two of each on the night, so my MacBook can go in the middle. All my keyboards have Dvorak stickers on them.

I can bring my mice with me, as I've got two identical ones, but would save lugging them around if someone from Manchester has a pair. (Having different mice is a pain for pairing, as the tracking speed will be different.)

& apparently setting ENV["RACK_ENV"] before anything else will do it, too.

No Problem

By the way, the Sinatra Book[1] is a good resource, if you haven't come
across it yet, not 100% finished tho

Cheers for that, Adam -- prompted by your gist, I've had a little success
with Sinatra::Application.environme nt() and
Sinatra::Application.environme nt=(), so I'll crack on with that.
Cheers again!
Doug.
