so…you turn squid’s cache on to
delay_parameters 1 256000/256000
should limit the Bandwidth to 256KB/sec, 256KB max. Not so! If you download files < 256K themselves, one at a time, squid will allow each download to download at top speed! Whoa. Unexpected.
So…got that message once.
Only way to overcome it was to recheckout the current svn folder, then rename it over the top of the existing one (and of course check for modifications in the files).
Appears that there’s this
http://snipplr.com/view/2036/wxcocoadialog-dropdown-example-in-ruby/
and
http://code.google.com/p/wxcocoadialog/
so theoretically possible in windows? Or is this cygwin only?
Now to get rubycocoa to work with it…http://rubycocoa.sourceforge.net/HomePage
here it is –hello world in C.
#include
int main() {
printf("helloworld");
fprintf(stderr, "hello2");
return 0;
} echo %ERRORLEVEL% # even though ERRORLEVEL doesn’t show up when you run “set”

I wonder if disk copy from one disk to the same disk couldn’t be sped up somehow…
ex: read+ zip -> RAM until RAM full, THEN write all that out to disk all at once.
rinse, repeat.
fastish copy
anybody know of anything equivalent?

does rsync do something equivalent, perhaps, when used on local disk to same disk?
Most of us who use sennheiser headphones (I being one who loves them) find that you really can’t use them all day for a working day–they clamp down too tightly on your head and you feel pain after a few hours.
Fix?
” Letting the headphones stretch while clamped on a basketball for several days or clamping them over a thick stack of books will help alleviate that issue for big-head types (like ourselves).”

I knew there was an answer 
one of the (many) problems with hosting rails at bluehost is that you’re forced into fcgi. Not that fcgi is bad, per se–but you’re forced into using fcgi with the parameters they specify (which is, that your process, if unused for awhile, should die). This means that every time you visit the site in the morning, there’s a noticable few second delay. Actually not bad (almost feels like network lag), but it’s still there.
The fix? Request a page from your rails hosted site every 5 minutes
tool: cron
how: go to mydomain/cpanel, search for “cron” (it’s an icon in there somewhere), then add one something like
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * wget http://www.mydomain.com/something > /dev/null

meant “you passed in the wrong param to your rb_thread_blocking_region”
seems that there is a niche that is waiting–it’s the VPS with 180MB RAM for $12
Compare with linode (who has the best current prices).
