Comment on Intro to Ruby - Arrays by Javieri Sassi

just answered my comment by pure intuition: nums = Array(0..48) notice Python does not include 49 (They Python way)

I suffer Python envy.
How to create an array of numbers in Ruby analogous to the following python command.

nums = range(0..49)

I can do:

nums = [] 50.times do |i| nums << i end

But that is not a single assigment and cannot change the upper and lower bounds easily.

Thanks!

Post Update: I’ve updated the original post with error corrections to my contexts and also dropped the use of the Today perspective as I find that my Important perspective handles all my hot/immediate/important actions for the day. All-in-all, things are more streamlined now.

Well, I think you said it best. And where can flies usually be found hovering about? The flies are definitely not my target audience.

But haven’t you heard? RSS is dead! Dead, I say! OK, maybe in its final throes. Or, maybe not even close. But, to be safe, one must cross post to attract the flies.

There are people who don’t follow RSS at all, and rely purely on Twitter. And vice versa.

There’s room for all of us in this small world.

It’s always looked more like psychedelic mushroom valley to me, but great photos.

Comment on Managing Multiple Heroku Accounts by Brooke Kuhlmann

Brooke Kuhlmann — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 02:13:55 +0000

You make a very good point, simply using Git as it was intended works extremely well. I really can’t argue that point. However, there are edge cases where Git doesn’t solve everything. For example, when setting up client accounts for non-technical people, I don’t always wish or am allowed to own the account or be associated with the billing aspects of the account. I also want to be able to easily and quickly turn over the keys to the kingdom in some cases by simply giving the account credentials to the next developer/business owner with minimal hassle. Finally, I like the added security of keeping my primary account completely separate from any client account (yes, I know I could easily regenerate my public key). This subtle difference might not seem like much but is handy for me (and others it seems).

Could you explain why the git-approach that Heroku has implemented doesn’t work for you? In my experience, simply adding a collaborator to your app works just fine and saves the hassle of having to switch between accounts.

Comment on Adobe Distiller - Batch Automation by Ken Cooney

Ken Cooney — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 02:06:32 +0000

I found a way to convert jpg to post script (jpeg2ps … free for both UNIX and Windows … available at http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/jpeg2ps.htm). I didn’t look for MS Word docs. I’m currently working
on a DOS batch file that converts a directory of jpgs to pdf using the jpeg2ps and the Adobe Distiller.

Comment on Adobe Distiller - Batch Automation by Ken Cooney

Ken Cooney — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 12:54:46 +0000

Distiller converts postscript files to PDF. So, you need to convert the doc to a PS file first. So, the command should be:

acrodist.exe /J “c:/misc/standard.joboptions” /N /O “c:/misc/test.pdf” /Q “c:/misc/test.ps”

Now, the catch is how to convert the doc (or anything else) to a PS file. I read that Adobe removed command prompt stuff from acrobat.exe due to security concerns, so that’s no help. I found some VB macro stuff here. I don’t know if it will help you or not. The code is 4 years old, so I have no idea if it’ll work.

If not, narrow your search to looking for a way to convert files to ps files using an executable or some other mechanism.

Thanks Keith. Based on your feedback and everyone else’s feedback, I’ve decided to turn this into a gem for easier management. You can find it here.

I’ve also updated this post to reference the gem now as well.

To get around using the –all switch on heroku commands, you just need to swap out an identity file for ssh as well. I posted a blog on the subject: http://collectiveidea.com/blog/archives/2010/08/06/heroku-ing-with-multiple-personalities/ and my version of your switcher is in here: http://gist.github.com/511789

You bet. Glad this post was of help.

Thanks for the Gist. I’ve incorporated your changes and updated my code in the credentials.rb file so future downloads pick up the changes as well.

Thanks for posting this how-to. I started working with a second Heroku account today, and this made it a lot easier.

I modified credentials.rb so it wouldn’t display passwords in clear text. I’m frequently working with others at my machine, and I don’t want to inadvertently display a password when checking which credentials are active.

I posted my tweaked version here: http://gist.github.com/474211

I agree for some Macs. For an iPhone or iPad I don’t get it. But it has paid off for sure on my MacBook Pro (CD Drive, Battery, and I think I’ll take it in to get a fan looked at that’s making noise before my warranty runs out).

Yep, you’re correct. You’ll have to specify the –app argument for any additional Heroku account beyond your first.

It is annoying, I agree, but I haven’t found a good solution for this yet. I’m all ears if you run across any solution, patch, etc.

Comment on Managing Multiple Heroku Accounts by Oma Amundsen

Oma Amundsen — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 17:04:57 +0000

Great post, helped me a lot!

The only sad thing is that the heroku gem seems to be explicitly searching for git@heroku.com:.. to determine which app it applies to. So, with git@official.heroku.com, I need to specify the app, like this, heroku info –app myapp

A big problem, no, annoying, yes. Let me know if I’m mistaken!

Eric, good point and thanks. I’ve updated both scripts to be a bit more intelligent based on your feedback.
