My overall goal is to let users of my Rails app authenticate against our organization's ActiveDirectory server over LDAP. (Did I say that right?) I'd like to try the Ruby ActiveLDAP gem.

I would like to upload documents to GoogleDocs every time the OS hears that a file was added/dragged/saved in a designated folder, just the way DropBox uploads a file when you save it in the DropBox folder. What would this take in Ruby, what are the parts? How do you listen for when a File is Saved? How do you listen for when a File i...
I've seen here that what sets a programming language apart from a scripting language is the scripting engine. But I don't understand how it works, so I don't know the difference. For example, I see code in Java calling methods in imported libraries, but it doesn't seem "different enough" from Python or Ruby code - both are scripting lan...
Hi. I just installed HTML Tidy plugin for eclipse. I added the html.erb file type and now it will do its magic on my erb files. However it puts in the title tag and changes a lot of my characters to escape characters.

Hi there I make a call just like this: value = ./simulated_annealing Which is a C Object file, but Rails tells me it cannot find that file. I put it in the same dir that the rest of the models files (since it's called by one of those models), but I guess it should be in any other place. I've tried that outside Ruby and it works great...
