Hackers at Think New Orleans
Welcome to the Think New Orleans hacker’s forum. This is a blog post where the comments section is used to maintain an ongoing discussion with a search engine friendly archive. I prefer this to a listserv because it is more likely to attract the attention of other developers, though the magic of search.
I prefer a single forum as opposed to an elaborate bulletin board system. I never know if I’m supposed to post my question in “Getting Started”, “Feature Requests”, “Bug Reports” or the half-dozen other splintered and arbitrary subject areas.
How to Participate
There are two ways to follow the discussion.
- You can choose notify me by email when you leave a comment. You will get an email notification. You can manage that notification the way you manage your listserv traffic.
- You can subscribe to the comments feed. You can manage that feed the way you manager your RSS traffic.
Say Anything..
Join the discussion by leaving a comment. That way you can get the update email messages.
I’m going to corral the discussion back into this forum. When I write about software development at Think New Orleans, I’ll link to this forum as the pace to discuss software development, maybe even closing comments on some subsequent posts.
This way, developers will be able to keep the conversation focused on development, as opposed to Road Home options or school registration deadlines or any of the other topics discussed at Think New Orleans.

Sounds like you are learning fast.
For my Ruby app, I’m going to create a web program that takes a text export of an iChat script and turns it into a pretty HTML display of the iChat script. I’ll be using the CSS and markup from Chatbubble.

So it’s Ruby on Rails, without a domain model. Just a controller.
What gets me about Ruby on Rails: Do I need to run a Webrick server for each Rails app that I run. (If so, that’s lame.)

Hey Alan,
Just picked this up last night and realized that my problem was a bad Implementation of cgi on iis. I’ll be trying again on linux in the morning. Still hope to be done by Sunday, but with an incomplete dev environment it’s tough to commit.
Also, I’ve been working with eruby, are you using rails?
