Interesting

  • The defer method in EventMachine allows you to spawn processes in Ruby, like this (from comment in eventmachine.rb):

    operation = proc {
        # perform a long-running operation here, such as a 
        # database query.
        # as usual, the last expression evaluated in the block will 
        #be the return value.
    }
    callback = proc {|result|
        # do something with result here, such as send it back 
        # to a network client.
    }
    EventMachine.defer( operation, callback )

Help

  • Can anyone recommend a good hosted wiki for casual use? Some of the suggestions so far include pbwiki, MediaWiki (perhaps a bit heavy weight for personal use), and Google Pages.
