Postgresql vs Mysql smackdown.
by Ara T Howard | 2 days ago |
Read more Postgresql vs Mysql smackdown.: Experienced PostgreSQL DBA’s know to take advantage of its features here to protect themselves when doing complicated work like schema upgrades. If you put all such changes into a transaction block, you can make sure they all apply atomically or not at all. This drastically lowers the possibility that the database will be corrupted by a typo or other such error in the schema change, which is particularly important when you’re modifying multiple related tables where a mistake might destroy the relational key. There is no way to similar way to safely adjust multiple schema sections with MySQL.

Integrating the scanner device to ROR application
by Ayyanar Aswathaman | 2 days ago | Read moreWe got the requirement to scan and upload the image to the web application.
We have analyzed all the commercial twain solutions like DynamicWebTwain, csxImage,TwainControlX,TwainConnect, jTwain, JSane and others. Many
of the commercial solutions are very costly. Finally, we picked up the DynamicWebTwain for the following reasons:
1) DynamSoft is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner
2) Stable software
3) The customers of DynamicWebTwain include IBM, HP and LockHeed Martin
4) Compatible with IE, FireFox and Mozilla
5) Good Technical Support
6) Cheaper one
7) Supports basic image editing features including Rotate, Crop, Miror, Flip and Change Image size
We used Ruby on Rails for our web application. Since the DynamicWebTwain is the ActiveX objects, we simply embeded the ActiveX object using html object tag in the rhtml page. We called the object methods through javascript and uploaded the image to the URL. Here is the javascript code used by us to upload the image.
var CurrentPath = CurrentPathName.substring(0, CurrentPathName.lastIndexOf("/") + 1);
strActionPage = CurrentPath + "court_images/save_scanned_image?court_id="+court_id;
frmScan.DynamicWebTwain1.HTTPPort = 3000;
frmScan.DynamicWebTwain1.HTTPUploadThroughPost("aspire76", 0, strActionPage, "imageData.pdf");
To the ROR developers, we used attachment_fu plugin to save the image in the file system. Here is the code for save_scanned_image action (See the above URL)
params.sanitize_keys!
court_image = CourtImage.new(:uploaded_data => params[:RemoteFile],:court_id => params[:court_id] )
respond_to do format
if court_image.save
format.html{render :text=>"#{court_image.id}"}
court_image is the active_recod which has_one attachment
has_attachment :storage => :file_system,
:size => 0.kilobytes..1.megabytes,
:resize_to => '320x200>',
:thumbnails => { :thumb => '100x100>' }
Plz note the below code where we are rendering back the court image id through response.
We can receive the response in javascript where we called the URL to upload the image (see above). Here is the javascript code to get the response:
var court_image_id = frmScan.DynamicWebTwain1.HTTPPostResponseString;
Hope, this will help the ROR and other web application developers to integrate the scanner device to the web application. The scanner device should be connected to the client (browser) system.

Ruby Community Vulnerability
by Jan | 2 days ago | Read moreRuby社区最近有点动荡，都是从大约一周之前发现的一堆vulnerabiilty开始的。
事情的经过很简单，在Apple工作的Drew Yao发现了MRI的一堆要命漏洞，随后Ruby官网给出了一堆传说fix了这些个漏洞的新版本，再然后各种能在之前ruby上运行的应用纷纷segment fault了，随后引来ruby talk ML以及blog圈中的大讨论。
整件事情给人的感觉就是，包括matz在内ruby core team非常的不成熟。在ruby早期的发展阶段，作坊式的快速更新也许不会引起麻烦，但随着ruby社区的日益壮大，ruby现有的开发模式显然已经跟不上来自各方面的推动力量。引起麻烦的并不是MRI的这些漏洞，而是ruby现有开发模式自身的弊端: 缺乏稳定版本(1.8.6p114之前的黄金年代已经过去了)，feature控制混乱(1.8.7对1.9特性的引入仍然是一个有争议的话题), 忽略社区以及Zed Shaw们指出的core们的拒人于千里之外的姿态。
大胆猜想，如果ruby-core无法适应社区的迅速壮大，也许将来的ruby这门语言的事实标准从MRI变成JRuby, Rubinius或者众多其他Ruby实现中的一个, Rubinius的RubySpecs已经为这个可能性打下了地基。现在的ruby看起来更像一个伪开源项目,成功的OpenSource不仅仅是free，更重要的是社区建设以及和社区的互动。
ps. 一个小人的想法: 我总觉得matz有点不爽David(DHH)，MRI的发布似乎总是要给Rails带来一些麻烦。上升点高度的话，依稀间看到东西方之间的对立，西方世界夺取ruby控制权的企图已经隐隐出现。好吧，我阴谋论看多了-_-...

USB Mass Storage no Motorola w230!
by Jackson Pires de O. S. Júnior | 3 days ago |
Read more Caramba! hoje tive uma experiência no mínimo cansativa com um celular w230 da Motorola, por isso resolvi comentar sobre o episódio aqui.
Bem, o grande detalhe foi que um cunhado meu pediu pra transferir umas músicas para o tal celular e foi aí que tudo começou.
Pluguei o cabo no celular e quando pluguei no computador foi detectado como w230, até aí tudo normal, mas eu precisava que ele fosse reconhecido como USB Mass Storage pra facilitar minha vida, mas de cara não foi.
Ok, segunda tentativa, procurei em configurações do aparelho pra ver se existia essa opção (já que em alguns modelos de celular você opta por ela), também não achei nada.
Aí parti pra ignorância, fui ao google e dei uma pesquisada, mas não achei nada específico, só um vago comentário em um fórum que me deu uma luz, mas mesmo fazendo o que o camarada lá falava não funcionou... :(
Tá e agora? Bem, pensei, vou começar do zero.
Desliguei o aparelho, tirei a bateria e o chip micro SD, recoloquei tudo e liguei. Depois pluguei o aparelho na USB do computador e plim! :D Apareceu uma mensagem peguntando se eu queria conectar o aparelho na unidade de armazenamento, e eu claro que respondi SIM!
Pronto, dessa forma consegui enxergar o dispositivo como uma unidade normal... tranferi os arquivos que precisava e retirei o cabo USB, daí o aparelho pediu pra esperar ser reiniciado, tudo bem, foi rápido.
Após o aparelho reiniciar acessei o menu principal e cliquei em MULTIMÍDIA.
Tranquilo, logo em seguida acessei BIBLIOTECA DE MÚSICA
Mas infelizmente não vi os MP3 que eu tinha transferido. =/
Ok, então lembrei da dica do camarada do fórum, e então acessei com o BOTÃO DIRECIONAL DO MEIO a opção TROCAR DISPOSITIVO DE ARMAZENAMENTO e em seguida CARTÃO DE MEMÓRIA.
Prontchu! :D
Agora é só usar.. :)
Redmine Timesheet plugin - v0.3.0
by Eric Davis | 3 days ago | Read moreI’ve just released an update to Timesheet plugin for Redmine.
Changes
There are a few minor updates in this release, I fixed one bug in the calendar popup and have redesigned the form to use the screen real estate better.
- Feature #710: Wrap all common elements in fieldsets
- Feature #1223: Cleanup the Filter UI to not use as much screen space.
- Bug #1267: No action taken on selection of date
You can see more details on the Activity and Roadmap pages.
Upgrade
As part of my infatuation with git, this project is now hosted on GitHub.
Zip
- Download the latest zip file from https://projects.littlestreamsoftware.com
- Unzip the file to your Redmine into
vendor/plugins - Restart your Redmine
Git
- Open a shell to your Redmine’s vendor/plugins/timesheet_plugin folder
- Update your Git copy with
git pull - Restart your Redmine
SVN
To migrate from the svn copy to the git copy you will need to remove the plugin and reinstall it. Just remove the vendor/plugins/timesheet_plugin directory and follow the directions below.
Install
If you are installing a fresh copy, follow these steps:
Download the plugin. There are three supported ways:
- Downloading the latest archive file from Little Stream Software projects
Checkout the source from Git
cd vendor/plugins/ && git clone git://github.com/edavis10/redmine-timesheet-plugin.git timesheet_pluginInstall it using Rail’s plugin installer
script/plugin install git://github.com/edavis10/redmine-timesheet-plugin.git
Install the plugin as described at http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/Plugins. (this plugin doesn’t require migration).
- Login to your Redmine install as an Administrator.
- Enable the “Run Timesheet” permissions for your Roles.
- Add the “Timesheet module” to the enabled modules for your project.
- The link to the plugin should appear on that project’s navigation.
What’s next
Since I don’t have the time to add a bunch of new features, I’m going to work with the Redmine core developers and try to migrate the Timesheet plugin’s features into the Redmine core.

If you need help you can leave a comment here or enter an issue directly into my bug tracker.

Quem disse que o cliente sempre tem razão? Gbarbosa e Oi que o digam!
by Jackson Pires de O. S. Júnior | 3 days ago |
Read more Semana passada estive no Gbarbosa aqui em Paulo Afonso - BA, fui comprar alguma coisa que não lembro agora e por acaso minha mulher viu um anúncio no panfleto do próprio Gbarbosa indicando um celular no preço de R$99,00, então como não vimos o famoso asterisco de letras miúdas e ela estava precisando urgente de um aparelho celular pra colocar seu segundo chip Oi (pois ela estava acabando com o celular atual de tanto trocar o chip) decidimos ir à "moça" da seção de aparelhos celulares, que por acaso é um quiosque da Oi.
Pois bem, até aí tudo normal, até perguntarmos o valor do aparelho que estava no panfleto e ela responder que custava R$119,00... ué? e no panfleto está R$99,00?... é mas tem mais R$20,00 do chip Srta... Mas eu não quero o chip, apenas o aparelho... Mas não pode Srta, só vendemos com o chip... Ok!
Procuramos o gerente, e pra sorte nossa ele não estava... tudo bem, procuramos alguém que pudesse responder e uma Srta lá disse a mesma história... Só vendemos aparelhos com chip.... Tá, tudo bem, e esse panfleto com esse preço? ... Há... é que esqueceram de colocar o preço, mas só vendemos aparelhos com chip.
Que coisa hein, tudo bem, sem ter a quem recorrer (pq aqui não temos PROCON ou coisa parecida) fomos ao caixa e compramos o aparelho com um chip de brinde, e o mais curioso é que ao passar no caixa a garota falou a mesma história, "só vendemos com chip"... ok...
Agora o mais interessante, quando pagamos recebemos dois cupons fiscais, um no valor de R$99,00 referente ao aparelho e outra de R$20,00 referente ao chip.... ué? eu só comprei o aparelho, não? Isso não seria venda casada não? não é proibido? =/
Vai entender? Besta fui eu quem comprou o aparelho.
E ainda dizem que o cliente sempre tem razão... Quer dizer, acho que entendi, o Gbarbosa dá o espaço a Oi pra vender os aparelhos dentro de seu recinto, mas pra Oi ganhar alguma coisa já que o aparelho é do Gbarbosa ela vende o chip "na tora" pro cliente...
Sei lá... não estou entendendo mais nada... Se alguém sabe como é essa treta me deixa um recado aí...
vlw!
