The Juggernaut plugin for Ruby on Rails aims to revolutionize your Rails app by letting the server initiate a connection and push data to the client. In other words your app can have a real time connection to the server with the advantage of instant updates. Although the obvious use of this is for chat, the most exciting prospect is collaborative cms and wikis.

Today I got the error below :

1

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

after typing :

1

mysql -u root

I don’t know why ? but I know how to solve it.
First of all let’s disable password authentication :
Stop your MySQL daemon:

1

/etc/init.d/mysql stop

or

1

/etc/init.d/mysqld stop


Then run the following command line in background :

1

mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &

Secondly run :

1

mysql -u root

Finally, In your MySQL command line prompt issue the following command:

1
2
3
4

USE mysql;
UPDATE user SET password=PASSWORD("my_password") WHERE user="root";
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT

Password is now reset to my_password. So just restart your MySQL server using :

1

/etc/init.d/mysql restart

or

1

/etc/init.d/mysqld restart

and use your new password to authenticate :

1

mysql -u root -p

All that remains is to enter your password.

To have more fun with GTalk (Google Talk) you can add some text formatting :
Gtalk

  • to make it bold, simply use * * (asterisk) between the text that intended to be bold in font style : i.e. *marouan* is rendred as marouan.
  • to make it italic, simply use _ _ (underscore) between the text that intended to be italic in font style: i.e. _marouan_ is rendred as marouan.
  • to make it strikethrough, simply use – - (dash) between the text that intended to be strikethrough in font style: i.e. -marouan- is rendred as marouan.


This is a stupid post but if you are addicted to Google Talk, like me, you will have more fun with GTalk using those few styling tips.

Q : What’s the best thing that may happen to a developer ?
A : A Bug :) at the beginning of the day :)

I ran script/console in a rails project to debug something on console, but I got this LoadError:

How to fix ?
I figured out that some libraries are missing after installing ruby from sources (I got those troubles after upgrading my ubuntu from 8.10 to 9.04 and then reinstalling ruby from sources to solve a non-compatibility problem of the already installed ruby binary package with ubuntu 9.04) :

1
2

sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
sudo apt-get install libreadline5-dev

Then move to your ruby source folder, subfolder ext/readline and then configure, build and install stuffs.

1
2
3
4

cd /usr/src/ruby-1.8.6-p368/ext/readline/
ruby extconf.rb
sudo make
sudo make install

you may get something like this : ( when running ruby extconf.rb)

I’m not anti-social; I’m just not user friendly.

My software never has bugs. It just develops random features.

Roses are #FF0000, Violets are #0000FF, All my base belongs to you.

I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

The beginning of the programmer’s wisdom is understanding the difference between getting program to run and having a runnable program.

Cannot find REALITY.SYS. Universe halted.

Computers make very fast, very accurate mistakes.

The truth is out there… anybody got the URL?

Computers can never replace human stupidity.

Bugs come in through open Windows.

Black holes are where God divided by zero.

Hey! It compiles! Ship it!

I’m sorry, our software is perfect. The problem must be you.

Ultimate office automation: networked coffee.

Computer: A device designed to speed and automate errors.

How many programmers does it take to change a light bulb? – None. It’s a hardware problem.
