Comment on Note to self: Randomize a list in Scheme by foobar

In case anyone stumbles on to this like I did, I’d like to say that this will not produce a true random list. Higher numbers will be quite heavily shifted towards the end of the list.

It really depends on how much work it will take. I would like to upgrade to 2.2 when it’s released, but I’ll have to wait and see how that goes.

Are there any plans to update to 2.2? It has an improved mobile site!

Matt,
I’d like to do the exact same thing! Could you please send me an email as well on how to export from tracks.tra.in into tracks.smajnr.net? Also, is there a way to set up a email address to receive my ‘to-do’s via email and post them in my Tracks? tracks.tra.in had that available at https://tracks.tra.in/sms/. Thank you for providing this service!

great to see a 2.0 tracks host out there.
I have been enjoying tracks.tra.in and it’s been rock solid so far. however, it’s disturbing to see no news items past 2010 on both tracks.tra.in and gtdify.

tracks doesn’t have an import feature yet though right? I guess most people host it themselves at this stage otherwise it would be more essential. anyway, I’m wondering if there’s a way I can copy everything from my existing tracks over to yours? exporting seems fine but then importing is nowhere.

I’m balking at the idea of doing it all manually – or somewhow using the API to post it all up from a script walking through the exported file? (not relishing that but a good learning to script exersise I guess!)

anyway, great to see your sit eup there and will use it once I figure out how best to migrate there.

thanks,
Rod.

Comment on Installing Ruby 1.9.1, Rails 2.3.2 and PostgreSQL on Windows Vista by Anonymous

I recently upgraded to Ruby 1.9.1 using the new installer for windows (rubyinstaller-1.9.1-p243-rc1), and running on Vista. After reinstalling all of my gems, I had a mysterious error every time rails tried to access my Mysql database, sometimes crashing the Ruby interpreter. I had already placed a copy of the libmysql.dll file in the Ruby19 bin and the Mysql gem (2.8.1) was working fine from a separate ruby program or the interactive console. I finally discovered after some trial and error that the libmysql.dll file in the ruby bin needs to be from a Mysql installation version 5.0 or earlier. After changing this libmysql.dll file, rails works fine, even when running on later versions of Mysql (I'm using 5.1.40).

Also, my application was frozen to rails version 2.3.4, which was causing a different set of problems with ruby 1.9.1. When I changed to rails 2.3.5, everything was running smoothly again.

The devkit is needed to install/compile native gems on Windows, for instance nokogiri.
