Mike Stok announced the next meeting of the Toronto Ruby User
Group, on 2004-12-05 and the meeting was later [summarised on the

* [Ruby Central, Inc. Codefest Grant Program]
On behalf of Ruby Central, Inc., David A. Black was pleased to
announce the Ruby Codefest Grant Program. This is a mechanism for
supporting "codefests" at which programmers develop a Ruby
library. US$1500 will be awarded, with up to US$500 per group.
[Applications] must be made by January 15 2005 and these will be
judged by a number of well known Rubyists including Matz. James
Britt suggested that a similar scheme for encouraging
documentation writers would be beneficial.
* [Ruby CVS IRC bot, and Ruby CVS RSS feed]
David Ross wrote "[t]hanks to our wonderful Shugo, there is now
RSS feed and a commit bot for the cvs. Each time there is a cvs
commit, the scripts send information to the correct server for
processing. The IRC bot messages the channel each commit for the
Ruby CVS."
* [KDevelop Technote for Ruby]
Ryan Phillips reported that [Issue 3 of KDevelop TechNotes]
(written by Alexander Dymo) talks about Rapid Application
Development (RAD) with Ruby/Qt/KDE. It shows how to use a GUI
created with the KDevelop forms designer in a Ruby program.
* [Ruby Article at Linux Journal]
pat eyler noticed an [article by Ara Howard] in the Linux Journal.
It describes the use of Ruby Queue ([rq]) for Linux Clustering
and includes some of the Ruby code from the implementation.

Interesting threads this week included:
[[OT] No-nonsense guide to Use Cases?]
--------------------------------------
Lyle Johnson asked for suggestions from the Ruby Community on good books
for learning about Use Cases. With many Ruby users in favour of agile
software development methodologies like Extreme Programming, it's
interesting to see what books they recommend for this subject.
Lyle had seen Alistair Cockburn's book "Writing Effective Use Cases" get
good reviews on Amazon and a number of people agreed that this is a very
good book. Nicholas Van Weerdenburg's response was typical:
"Cockburn is a great writer, and it's a totally awesome book. I quite
like his treatment of use cases- and his writing is on par with Martin
Fowler, the Pragmatic Programmers, and so on. It's one of top 10
software books I've ever read. I've probably bought six or seven copies
for clients I've worked with."
Sascha Ebach:
"The thing is: After you are done with Cockburn you will not have to read
any other books on use cases, if you are after a practical guide. He is
very concise.
...
The feeling I had after I was finished was comparable to the feeling I
had after Pickaxe 2. ("Damn, that is all I ever need to know about that
to get started really well")"
Kloubakov, Yura thought that "Use Case Modeling" by Kurt Bittner and Ian
Spence is also a good book on Use Cases.
[Ruby Graphing/chart libraries?]
--------------------------------
Chris Williams wanted to programatically generate graphs for his [Rails]
website at work. Stoyan Zhekov gave examples using [ruby-gd] (by Ryuichi
Tamura) and [ruby-gdchart] (by Kouhei Sutou). These are wrappers around C
libraries that provide graphing capabilities. Although Chris had stated he
had decided against SVG for the lack of browser support, Sam Goldman still
thought it could still be a good solution and pointed out Sean Russell's
[SVG::Graph].
[Does anyone have benchmark programs for YARV?]
-----------------------------------------------
SASADA Koichi is developing [YARV] (Yet Another Ruby VM). It requires Ruby
1.9 and a small (~50 lines) patch to eval.c. The rest of the Virtual
Machine is just a C extension. Koichi's aim is to develop the fastest VM
for Ruby and maybe have it become the official version. With this in mind
he asked for benchmarks and several were given. The [results of the
benchmarks were posted] and they were impressive, with many benchmarks 5
or 6 times faster under YARV than in the normal Ruby interpreter.
The RubyGarden Wiki has a page VirtualMachineOptions which lists different
VM implementations.
[[SUMMARY] Banned Words (#9)]
-----------------------------
The summary of last week's [Ruby Quiz] was posted. [The problem] was to
assume that there is a mail filter which rejects mail containing "banned
words". Then we want to determine the list of banned words by sending as
few test emails as we can. The mail filter can be represented by a method
"clean?" rather than sending real emails. Some test cases (dictionary of
words and list of banned words) were posted and people compared solutions.
James Edward Gray II wrote in the summary
"Of course, that's just the basics. Wayne Vucenic found a very clever
optimization. If we check a big list and it gets banned, then we split it up
and check the first half, which comes back clean, we know the second have
would be banned and can skip the check. That could save a significant amount
of messages that we would otherwise need to send.
...
Brian Schroeder made a search for the optimal divisor for the word list, when
breaking it into chunks. Brian landed on 3 as the magic number, but there has
been some follow up discussion on Ruby Talk about his findings and if they are
complete."
[[QUIZ] Crosswords (#10)]
-------------------------
James Edward Gray II chose a classic problem from Knuth as this week's
[Ruby Quiz]. Given a simple crossword puzzle specification, output a
layout for it using spaces, '#' and numbers.
[[SOT]Signatures and one liners]
--------------------------------
After comments in another thread about Brian Mitchell's signature, he
began a thread to discuss Ruby code in signatures.
"This all started with my less than perfect Sierpinski Triangle generator:
ruby -e'32.times{|y|print" "*(31-y);(y+1).times{|x|
rint"#{~y&x==0?"A":"."}"};puts}'
I originally build the sig for my /. account but I use it from time to
time on other things. This was greatly improved to:
ruby -le'32.times{|y|print" "*(31-y),(0..y).map{|x|~y&x>0?" .":" A"}}'
from input by the community."
Christian Neukirchen posted an impressive Ruby Blog CGI server using only
126 characters:
puts"Content-type: text/html\n\n<h1>Blog",Dir["*.entry"].sort_by{|f|-File.
mtime(f).to_i}[0,9].map{|f|"<h2>#{IO.read f}<hr>"}
gabriele renzi posted a four-line Wiki in response.
New Releases
------------
* [Lafcadio 0.5.2, 0.4.3]
Francis Hwang released both a new development version (0.5.2) and
stable branch (0.4.3) for [Lafcadio], an object-relational mapping
library that works with MySQL.
* [Ruby-MemCache 0.0.2]
Michael Granger announced the second release of [Ruby-MemCache], a
Ruby client for memcached (a distributed memory cache system). A
couple of bugs were fixed.
* [Net::SFTP 0.5.0]
Jamis Buck's pure-Ruby implementation of the SFTP client protocol
was updated. He also gave some examples showing how to use the
library.
* [Pimki 1.1]
Assaph Mehr fixed some bugs in [Pimki], a PIM (personal
information manager) based on Instiki.
* [DBC for C 1.3.0]
Charles Mills released a new version of [Design By Contract for
C]. This is a tool that generates contract-testing code for C
programs based off specially-formatted comments in C source. It is
now faster and has better GCC support.
* [DamageControl - Continuous Integration Server in Ruby]
aslak hellesoy made an "unofficial" release of [DamageControl] a
"continuous integration server" developed by several people
including aslak. "In case you are unfamiliar with Continuous
Integration Servers - it is a program that detects when developers
check in files, then builds the software and finally communicates
the results of the build to developers via email, irc or other
channels. It lets teams deal with problems in the code early."
* [uname ruby library]
Stu wrote an extension that provides uname support for *nix and
win32 systems in order to "scratch an itch" that he had. Dan
pointed out the library [sys-uname] that achieves the same thing.
