formating the ruby – rails console

So now that I got the ruby console working, when you get output it’s just a big stream of text, and very hard to read separate results, and just a plain PITA.

This: http://github.com/cldwalker/hirb#readme

Does some excellent formating, comes with the default view enabled, but if you want to make your own configurations you can.

rails console errors on start “`require’: no such file to load — readline (LoadError)”

I was getting this:

Loading development environment (Rails 2.3.2)
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/completion.rb:10:in `require’: no such file to load — readline (LoadError)
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/completion.rb:10
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/init.rb:252:in `require’
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/init.rb:252:in `load_modules’
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/init.rb:250:in `each’
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/init.rb:250:in `load_modules’
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/init.rb:21:in `setup’
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/irb.rb:54:in `start’
from /usr/local/bin/irb:13

Whenever I tried to use the console.  Some helpfull google searching got me this:
http://dirk.net/2009/04/05/no-such-file-to-load-readline-loaderror-when-running-scriptconsole/

Which worked wonders.

I  also caught that I pretty much stick everything I’ve added to my work comp in my home directory.  I have no time for basic organization apparently.

Pumpkins and more…

A few more photos from the stack uploaded. Below is the highlights, jump over to deviantart for the rest!

Snow is coming …according to predictions

I really don’t know how software devs handle working on the same thing for so long.  I’ve been working on this one pieces of a large project at work, and I’ve been practically going cross eyed.  Today I was given a bit of a break(a different part had more priority, and needed some extra hands) and got moved over to @qrevolution ’s section of the project.  It was refreshing. Something new.  Working on the same thing for so long, it gets harder to keep perspective.

I’m also all ready for the SNOW that is supposed to happen this weekend.  Even acquired some snow boots for the first time in years. Before that happens though, anyone know any good places in MN close to the Twin Cities for taking fall photos?  Or getting pumpkins?  Planning a field trip this weekend.

Also, I’m watching Ghost Hunters right now, and …MEATLOAF is on it.  O.o Good show Mr. Loaf.
