etc.)"
* a good home for some Ruby Projects
------------------------------------
Citing work commitments, Pat Eyler announces that he's going to
have to orphan several of his Ruby projects. To prevent this, he's
in search of new maintainers for (among others):
* r43, an implementation of the 43 Things API.
* The Ruby Web Bench, a toolkit for performing capacity and
functional tests against a website.
* Ironically, The Ruby Programming Shop, a project to adopt
orphaned Ruby projects.
User Group News

The Milwaukee Ruby User's Group (Wisconsin) is pleased to announce
its first meeting, on Wednesday June 7, 2006.
"The Milwaukee RUG would like to thank SpiderLogic for providing
space for the meeting."
Threads
=======
Ruby's Bignum
-------------
Aaron Patterson asks whether it's possible to prevent Ruby from
automatically coercing Fixnums into Bignums, since he wants the
behavior of 32-bit integer arithmetic. Various suggestions follow,
falling into roughly three categories:
1. Use pack/unpack to force the result into a 32-bit integer
2. Bitwise operations
3. Subclassing Integer to provide an Int32 class with the desired
behavior
David Balmain notes that (absent that last solution), you'll still have
to use Bignums to represent 32-bit integers at times: on 32-bit
platforms, Fixnum has only a 31-bit range.
ruby-dev summary 28606-28636
----------------------------
Minero Aoki summarises the Japanese list ruby-dev, and includes a note
on how to load a Ruby file `into' a module:
mod.module_eval(File.read("./x.rb")).
Creating Daemon Processes in Windows
------------------------------------
Jatinder Singh wants to create a "daemon process" in Windows, in other
words "start another process which should continue to run even after
the parent process dies."
Victor Shepelev replies that the daemon concept is called a "service"
in Windows, and the win32-service module from the win32utils project
lets you work with services from Ruby.
Jatinder Singh: "Thanks Victor! Win32-service helped me achieve what I
intended to do."
Please kill the children as you're leaving
------------------------------------------
Ohad Lutzky asks a rather grimly-phrased question about processes on
Un*x: how does one ensure that forked child processes are reaped when
the parent process dies unexpectedly? Ordinarily those children would
live on, adopted by the init process.
Several people suggest setting up "heartbeat" pipes, read by the parent
process, to which the child processes write; when the parent dies, the
pipe breaks, and the children are killed with SIGPIPE. Ara T. Howard
has even written slave, a library for exactly this purpose.
Sam Roberts, in turn, hauls out R. Stevens and observes that in theory
the children should get killed automatically with SIGHUP if the parent
process has made itself their session leader.
What happened the week of March 19th?
-------------------------------------
Curt Hibbs was looking over the download statistics for the One-Click
Ruby Installer for Windows and Instant Rails, and found a big jump from
the week of March 19.
> Prior to the 19th the one-click installer averaged 10,000 downloads a
> week, and had been at the level for quite some time. But starting the
> week of March 19th the downloads tripled to 30,000 a week where they
> have remained to this day.
"Does anybody know what happened that week?"
There were not (yet) any replies.
Trying to determine presentation author
---------------------------------------
James Britt is trying to find an attribution for the presentation on
ruby-doc.org entitled "Ruby Language Talk" [zip]. "Does anyone know who
the author is?"
LWP like library for Ruby?
--------------------------
Robert Nicholson wonders if Ruby has any libraries similar to Perl's
LWP (libwww-perl), i.e. libraries that act like a web browser to help
you to scrape data off web pages.
WWW::Mechanize and HTTPAccess2 are mentioned in the replies.
Where can one find examples of masterful Ruby code?
---------------------------------------------------
Alder Green asks for examples of masterful Ruby code he could read in
order to become a better Ruby programmer.
Greg Donald says that rubyquiz.com is worth looking at (and especially
the Best of Ruby Quiz book), while Ross Bamford points to the Facets
project (a collection of extensions to Ruby's core and standard
libraries that includes many examples of excellent, short,
self-contained pieces of code).
Simon Strandgaard suggests looking at the code in Ruby's standard
library itself, and others say that the blogs RedHanded (by
whytheluckystiff) and eigenclass (by Mauricio Fernandez) often show
elegant code.
A. S. Bradbury says the gonzui code-browser on RAA (the Ruby
Application Archive) provides a web interface for quickly browing the
source code of Ruby projects without having to download them.
"If you see a project you've heard about or used, or one that just
looks interesting why not look through? Certainly, you may not always
be looking at great Ruby code, but I think you can learn a lot this
way."
Christian Neukirchen: "I'd say that I'm pretty well-versed in Ruby. I
have not yet seen much masterful code. I'm not sure I could point out a
medium-sized piece of Ruby that's *truly* and *completely* masterful."
("Does masterful code get less and less the more you advance?" he
ponders.)
Alexandru Popescu: "It may be like music, where the more one knows and
the more one has heard, the harder it is to get excited about new music
(though when you do find something good, it can be *really* exciting)."
Hash to OpenStruct (#81)
------------------------
This week's Ruby Quiz is by Hans Fugal.

Some tough test cases are posted in the replies, including one by
MenTaLguY of a YAML document that's not a tree.
I'm Collecting Media References for Ruby and Rails
--------------------------------------------------
Curt Hibbs announces that he's collecting URLs to articles, podcasts
and videos about Ruby, and about Rails.
"If have such a collections yourself (or just know of some good
references), could you please share them on this thread."
James Britt: http://del.icio.us/tag/ruby.
Ruby Manual
-----------
Nathaniel Brown announces the "Ruby Manual", a fully searchable Ruby
manual that allows you to add comments (like with the PHP
documentation). (Also: "Rails Manual".)
The sites are generated entirely with Conor Hunt's Rannotate tool, and
are virtually identical to Conor's "Ruby API Documentation" and
"Ruby on Rails API Documentation" sites.
There are questions about why Nathaniel created new sites, since these
will now split the annotation information between them and Conor's.
More on Conor's blog.
Conor's goals with Rannotate are to integrate it into
api.rubyonrails.org and ruby-doc.org, have collaborative documentation
controlled by the community, and generate diffs that can be directly
applied to source code repositories, in order to merge updated
documentation into the Ruby (and other) source trees.
This is brain dead, but is it stupid?
------------------------------------
Jeff Pritchard starts writing an application to show some simple charts
for statistics from his Rails app.
He's looked at the sparklines and gruff libraries, but finds that the
first only supports very simple charts, and the second requires too
much time to install.
> It occurred to me that the reason they were requiring rmagic and

Instead of using one of the existing libraries, he begins thinking
about drawing bar-charts by scaling a square block up by the required
amount in HTML. For example,
<img src="blublock.jpg" width="5" height="96">
<img src="blublock.jpg" width="5" height="20">
<img src="blublock.jpg" width="5" height="25">
<img src="blublock.jpg" width="5" height="30">
"What do you think, this is clearly brain dead, but is it stupid too?"
Trevor Squires points out css_graphs, a Ruby charting library that uses
only CSS, and Kate Rhodes lists SVG::Graph and PlotKit (supports Canvas
and SVG charts).
With respect to Jeff's idea, Dave Howell says that he could use tables
with background-coloured cells instead of the blublock.jpg.
New Releases
============
foxGUIb v0.7 (for FXRuby 1.6)
-----------------------------
As a followup to the recent release of FXRuby 1.6.0, Meinrad Recheis
announces foxGUIb v0.7, a GUI creator and code generator for FXRuby
similar in spirit to Glade and other applications which let you lay out
widgets in a point-and-click fashion.
Pimki 1.8.200
-------------
Assaph Mehr fixes some bugs in Pimki: The Wiki-based PIM to
GetThingsDone!
Madeleine 0.7.2
---------------
Madeline, a transparent object persistence framework, re-emerges after
a period of two years without any releases. Madeline 0.7.2 includes the
following fixes:
* An automatic class with no methods would cause an error
* System sanity check at first use
* Now creates full path to storage files, not just the last directory
(reported by Wayne Vucenic)
RMagick 1.12.0
--------------
Timothy Hunter makes a new release of RMagick to fix an API
incompatibility with Image#level introduced in the last release.
"Thanks to Al Evans for reporting it and helping me find a fix."
"RMagick is an interface to the ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick image
processing libraries. RMagick supports more than 90 image formats,
including GIF, JPEG, PNG. It includes RVG, a 2D drawing API. RMagick
comes with comprehensive HTML documentation."
Timothy also encourages users to ask web hosting services with very
old versions to upgrade, as several memory leaks have been fixed
in recent releases.
(He later notes he's been using valgrind to test for leaks.)
Aredridel: "Thank you for that. Fixed our memory usage problems that I
was just in the process of narrowing down to the library. Beat me to
the punch!"
rcov 0.5.0: code coverage + callsite info, RubyGems, Rant...
------------------------------------------------------------
Mauricio Fernandez announces the recent release of rcov 0.5.0, a tool
useful for evaluating test coverage of Ruby code. For the first time,
rcov is now available in gem form, with both Win32 and
platform-independent flavors.
id3lib-ruby 0.3.0 (Windows binary gem)
-------------------------------------
Robin Stocker announces the 0.3.0 release of id3lib-ruby, this time
with a Windows binary gem. "id3lib-ruby provides a Ruby interface to
the id3lib C++ library for easily editing ID3 tags (v1 and v2) like
with pyid3lib."
"Thanks go to Mauricio Fernandez for his article on how to
cross-compile Ruby extensions and to Curt Hibbs for his installer of a
mingw-based Ruby."
win32-dir 0.3.0
---------------
Daniel Berger: "In the ongoing effort to Rubyify as much of the Win32
Utils project as we can, I'm pleased to announce the release of
win32-dir 0.3.0."
It's now pure Ruby, and (in keeping with the trend) now offers a gem.
ruby-breakpoint 0.5.1: Now with fewer bugs
------------------------------------------
Florian Gross releases an update to ruby-breakpoint to fix some bugs,
and announces he's going to be working on ruby-breakpoint for this
year's Summary of Code.
"If there is anything else I can do to make ruby-breakpoint more useful
or easier to use please tell me. Now is the best time to suggest new
features!"
(Current TODOs include creating a cross-platform GTK2 front-end.)
"ruby-breakpoint lets you inspect and modify state at run time. This
allows you to diagnose bugs, patch applications and more all via IRB by
simply doing a method call at the place you want to investigate."
Nebular Gauntlet 0.1
--------------------
Steven Davidovitz presents version 0.1 of Nebular Gauntlet, an
Asteroids-like multiplayer game written in Ruby with Ruby/SDL. It's
still at a very early stage of its development, but the basics of
gameplay are already implemented.
