Hi, I've been playing around with rails lately and wanted to go through the deploent process just to see how it worked. I created a simple app with a sIngle model from a scaffold.

I want to write a bot that will automatically watch a MS exchange account's calendar and accept and log any invitations. The rest of the code will be in Ruby, so I'd prefer that, but I'm happy to use any POSIX tool -- a C program, a Perl script, etc. I've looked around for Unix client information, but all I found were email clients (e.g...
We have code to log data in our Ruby 1.8.6 web application. You call it roughly as follows: $log.info("Some text here") Now, in the logged output, I would like to include the module where that line appeared.

Someone posted something similar here, however I'm curious to which would run faster and save me more memory? I know that Matz as made many enhancements in 1.9 but I also stand behind the decisions the Phusion guys have made as well. My question is which is the best to run on my VM which only has 265mb of ram? ...
We have an asynchronous task that performs a potentially long-running calculation for an object. The result is then cached on the object. To prevent multiple tasks from repeating the same work, we added locking with an atomic SQL update: UPDATE objects SET locked = 1 WHERE id = 1234 AND locked = 0 The locking is only for the asynchr...

For example "this has whitespace".match(/some_pattern/) should return nil but "nowhitespace".match(/some_pattern/) should return the MatchData with the entire string. Can anyone suggest a solution for the above? ...
