I am working on a ruby project which has cpu intensive tasks so I wanted to see what the impact would be of using the ruby 1.9 development version. It is supposed to provide a major performance increase.
The task used in this project crunches a large amount of data using mathematical functions, array sorting/grouping and database writes.
I uploaded most of my picture’s from our vacation in Canada. As always, you can find them here.
Our trip started in Vancouver on July 4th. We visited Vicatoria, Tofino, Whistler, Clearwater, Jasper, Banff and Canmore. Tomorrow we’re going to Calgary for 2 days before we take a plane back home to Belgium (if Belgium will still be one country that is).
If you follow this blog post by Chris Roos for connecting to Gmail’s pop server with Ruby and encounter an error similar to this one: NoMethodError: undefined method `set_params’ for #<OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext:0×50fc58>
Here’s the fix: You need an older version of Ruby 1.9’s net/pop library. I found that the latest one working was revision 13778. view it here.
Last Saturday we had our 2 year anniversary party with 1200 Warriors: Junior and Choco, 2 super friendly New Yorkers who never played in Europe before. Man, they sure know how to entertain a room full party people!
Our camera friend made a nice babbelbox movie which summarizes what people think about What’s Cookin’
I had a really really great time. Normally I have a lot of work during my own parties, but this time we found enough people to work for us.
Clair, Daphne, Anne and Rebecca from erasmus in Lisbon were here too, that made it even more special!
Thanks guys!
