I think I was just bought by ruby.

I have been looking mostly into learning python as my first real language, mainly for webbased stuff and a few mostly cli apps I am interested in making. After looking at ruby though, I saw ruby on rails, and downloaded the video on making a blog engine, my main interest in learning to program. Needless to say the speed and usability of it impressed me greatly. I never thought any language could look so good, and seem so simple.
     The main program I am interested in writing is a simple flat text file blogging engine, for use with the website I have in development. After that, I want to extend it with a ruby written web app that makes a photogallery from uploaded pictures with automatic thumbnails and resizing. And after that, probably a very lightweight and simple webforum, supporting image uploading, registered only posting, personal messages, membergroups (for sensitive or paid for information) and simple skinning, along with basic features like avatars, postcount+rankings and titles, and signatures. A lot of work I understand, but with a language liek that, how can it not be fun?
     /me goes off to learn while he is still all fired up and before reality sets in

I don't like traditional languages, and until ruby (which I am progressing with quite well) I was never able to get the concepts to stay in my head, ruby makes me feel better
I have used several application built with rails and ruby, and they are very fast, so I don't get what you are saying about slowness, it's like people calling python slow. It is slower when executed as a script usually, but when compiled to byte-code there is usually no visible difference.
Ruby writes mah scripts! I am working on one for filetypes (like the coding challenge, but I probably won't have a good enough level of completeness by then to enter) It seems like it'll be just as fast as bash scripting.
I suppose you should edjumacate yourself before you go spouting words of anti-rubiness (hehe, I'm a defender of it already )

  • I have 160gb of music on my Classic, 6th Gen (I think) I've just bought it. Is it possible for it to play my songs in a random order, one or two from different albums?

    I have 160gb of music on my Classic, 6th Gen (I think) I've just bought it. Is it possible for it to play my songs in a random order, one or two from different albums?

    To add to what Stonerock has mentioned, you can either create Playlists in your iTunes Library, containing exactly what you want, and then Sync them to your iPod, or you can use the iPod Classic's On-The-Go feature.
    Reading between the lines, I'm going to assume for now that you want to be able to create your preferred listening list while "out and about" - so not near your iTunes library. (You have posted in iPod Classic, after all.) You can do this with the On-The-Go Playlist.
    Look in the Playlists menu on the iPod. It probably contains the Recently Added, Recently Played and other pre-made Playlists that you see in your iTunes Library. At the bottom of the Playlists list, is the On-The-Go showing 0 Songs. Scroll down to it and press the Select (centre) button. The screen will give you instruction on adding songs to the On-The-Go Playlist.
    Basically, if you press-and-hold the Select (centre) button, while highlighting a song, the song title will blink as it is added to the On-The-Go Playlist. Try it, then go back to Playlists/On-The-Go and notice that it will now say 1 Song. (Note, you cannot add a "now playing" song to the On-The-Go Playlist.) Repeat this for every song you want to have in the list. You can also look in the Albums menu, highlight the album title and press-and-hold that to add the complete album to your On-The-Go Playlists with one press. So if you add the two albums to your On-The-Go Playlist, you can then listen to just those two albums.
    To shuffle the songs, turn on Shuffle on your iPod. Either, go into Settings/Shuffle and press the Select button to toggle between Off/Songs/Albums, or on the Now Playing screen, press the Select button three times to reach the Shuffle option, where you use the scroll wheel to move between Off/Songs/Albums, press the Select button to activate it.
    Having added songs to the On-The-Go Playlist, go into it and notice the list of songs and options to Save Playlist (New Playlist 1) or Clear Playlist. If you use Sync to manage your iPod (and that really is the best way by the way), the next Sync will transfer any unsaved On-The-Go and any New Playlist Xs that you have, back to your iTunes Library. You can even remove any song from the current On-The-Go Playlist by highlighting it (in the On-The-Go, obviously) and press-and-holding the Select button.
    If you need assistance in creating a Playlist in your iTunes Library, please ask.

  • So I just bought an iPhone 5s and Touch ID was working fine until the software update is that a bug ? Because I don't think my home button broke

    So I just bought an iPhone 5s and Touch ID was working fine until the software update is that a bug ? Because I don't think my home button broke

    Have not heard of that but here is what I would do - test after each step to see if the problem is solved
    1. Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    2. If that does not work - back up to iTunes and restore to factory settings
    3. Check to see if the problem is resolved before restoring from backup

    The App Store will permit you to purchase Mountain Lion regardless of whether your MacBook Pro already had it installed when it shipped from Apple.
    If you bought Mountain Lion from the App Store, you will be able to install it on as many additional Macs as you may have. If you only have the one Mac and have no plans to acquire any others that did not ship with Mountain Lion, then there was no need to purchase another copy.

  • I just bought an album but the music is no where to be found yet the money was from my account like if it was purchased. How do i get my music?

    I just bought an album but a screen came up saying that i need to verify my account through security questions. Initially I didnt get the answers right to the questions so itunes locked me out. When i went to see if the music downloaded, it didnt. But from the amount left on my giftcard, it's clear that the album had been bought. I looked in the "downloaded" section and cant find this album. I even tried rebuying the album to see if it would resume its download but it was going to completely rebuy it.
    Please help me receive the music I bought.
    thanks

    I'm not sure I just know that you can call the 1-800 number. I think you can chat but am not sure how to do so.

    Contact iTunes Customer Service, and request an exchange.  Nobody wants the Clean versions, and everybody knows it.  The Clean versions are only in the Store to give parents of young kids a warm fuzzy feeling. 
    The stats may show that some people buy the Clean versions, but in fact 99% of those cases are people who got it by mistake, just like yourself.
    Let us know how you make out.

  • I just bought a 3rd gen ipod touch on ebay. i went to set up wifi in settings, but when i got there it wouldnt even let me push the wifi button, it was a faded lettering that said" wifi... no wifi" im at a loss. ive tried everything.

    I just bought a 3rg gen ipod touch on ebay last week, and when i tried to go to the settings to set up wifi, it wouldnt even let me push the wifi button. it was that faded lettering that read " wifi................ no wifi" i cant even push the button to set it up. it was restored to factory settings when i bought it. ive tried EVERYTHING i can think of. i tried restoring it twice, and ive tried just turning it off and back on. Any help is very much appreciated.

    If a restore to factory settings did not resolve the issue, it's a likely indicator of a hardware fault, meaning you'll need to or want to set up an appointment at your local Apple Store/Genius Bar.

  • I cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase "" by a computer or device not prev assoc

    i cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, which died.  Ive managed to save the hard drive and transfer stuff across. I ended up smashing my phone and could update all other stuff on restore but cant sync any music.  It is all grey at the top of the screen.  Ive re installed itunes and cleared all phone data. Now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase (a song ) by a computer that had not been previously associated with that apple id.  So do i have to tell apple now somehow i am using itunes on this pc, and if so how? Because i authorised it and it said this pc was one of 5 aujthorised.  if anyone can be of assistance then great!

    I'm having a similar problem.  I had previously (over a year ago) purchased 2 episodes of Law &amp; Order.  Then about 2 months ago, I purchased the 3rd season of Sons of Anarchy.  When I downloaded these episodes to my iPad, about a dozen full seasons of various shows popped up, too.  No money was removed from my iTunes account &amp; theses particular shows aren't in my iTunes library on my desktop.  I've tried every which way to delete them from my ipad, but can't.  I went to the Apple store &amp; they suggested I contact expresslane.apple.com for help.  I submitted my problem, via email Friday, as they asked, but have not received any response.  Any suggestions on how to get rid of these "phantoms?".

    Yes - I connected my phone to my computer / Itunes and went into the apps section, but from there I have no idea how to manage the push notifications.  I even tryied going into itunes that is installed on my phone.  I still cannot find anyplace to manage these popups.  I have also gone into settings - notifiations - and tried turning all notifications for these apps all off but that didnt work either.  Any guidance is MUCH appreciated - Im not sure where to go from here.

    That's only for the iPhone 5. On the 4 and 4S, they can repair the back glass in store for $30. They will not replace the display on a 4 or 4S. They must replace the entire phone. Replacing the display on them requires disassembling the entire phone, which they will not do in store.

    Your help is really appreciated"

    Thanks a lot i followed the instructions for safe mode (i found out that i was pressing the C button after restarting) i did whats written there but the repair couldn't be performed so in addition i needed to re-formate the HD so i erased the volume and then repaired the disk--> quite disk utilities --> start the installation from the installation DVD.

  • Just bought a new iphone4 and was loading os6 and now it won't turn on. the apple glows like it is starting up, then the screen goes black and then repeats the same process over and over. i have tried to reboot multiple times now

    just bought a new iphone4 and was loading os6 and now it won't turn on. the apple glows like it is starting up, then the screen goes black and then repeats the same process over and over. i have tried to reboot multiple times now

    I am assuming the phone was working prior to you installing IOS 6? Did you use itunes to install IOS 6 or just run from the phone?
    When I tried to do the Over The Air update to IOS6 on my iPhone 4, it errored out and I had to connect it to iTunes and select "Restore" from the summary screen after iTunes finds the phone is connected. If this works for you, it will go through a couple of reboots that take a few minutes to complete. It should then give you the option to start with a fresh new phone or to use one of your previous backups to load your contacts and other information, provided you have backed up the phone previously.
    I hope this helps you my friend!
