Yes, I do want to pout right now. Here’s a fast drawing done today, even with messy shading. This drawing features a girl drawn in the style of Yuu Watase (creator of Fushigi Yuugi, Ayashi no Ceres, Alice 19th and etc.), I used to like her artworks back then, but now I have my own preferred style. I do love the girl characters of Watase when pouting, since they look so cute!
So, what’s making me pout then? Yesterday, Wayne gave me the code for the config.ru file for the ruby application. The ruby gem path now works in DreamHost! But I still have an error, just one error though, there’s a fastthread installation in DreamHost currently version 1.0.1, but DataMapper requires 1.0.4. The fastthread 1.0.1 is activated by another gem first, so 1.0.4 can’t be activated anymore. I contacted DreamHost about the problem, they won’t upgrade the gem on a server basis. I must add the fastthread upgrade to the suggestions corner and wait for people to vote if they want the upgrade or not.
I’ll try to find other means of using DataMapper for the recoding of ChanLu Design, since I won’t give up on using that wonderful gem. Here’s the code that Wayne gave me, tell me though if there are other better alternatives.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 | if (ENV['HOME'] =~ /^\/home\//) ## DREAMHOST require "#{ENV['HOME']}/.gems/gems/rack-0.9.1/lib/rack.rb" require "#{ENV['HOME']}/.gems/gems/sinatra-0.9.1.1/lib/sinatra.rb" ENV['GEM_HOME'] = "#{ENV['HOME']}/.gems" ENV['GEM_PATH'] = "#{ENV['HOME']}/.gems:/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8" require 'rubygems' Gem.clear_paths else require 'sinatra' end require 'datamapper' require 'haml' require 'app' run Sinatra::Application |
The rack and sinatra gems are being required manually because when requiring it by using their names, a lower rack version is activated which is installed default in DreamHost.
Besides that, I have been watching The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Though I still haven’t been able to finish the series yet due to my personal projects and work. I do like the series, its worth a few laughs and the characters are cute! I also find Itsuki Koizumi quite appealing.
I will be posting more about this series after I watch all the episodes, maybe this weekend if my brother bugs me onto watching this show.
Also, I have been reading Japanese comics (manga) – shoujo manga is my current genre of interest, I read Kimi ni Todoke (Reaching You) but sadly there are no more scanlantions for the other chapters. But this manga is really fun! It is about a girl who is really pale having long black hair and is being called as Sadako, encounters the “refreshing” guy – Kazehaya which will open her up to new opportunities such as having friends. This story is a love comedy, which has cute artwork and will hook you up wanting for more.
I am also reading Hana to Akuma, it is about a Demon who decided to live on earth, and adopted a baby human. Though the story focuses when the child is 14 years old already. The artwork of the male characters is awesome, they look cool, handsome and cute, depending on what they want to portray. But the girls in this manga seem like blank looking, it’s only my own opinion though. I do find the story entertaining and it gives me a good amout of laughs. I haven’t finished reading the current chapters of this manga, so I may post later more about this series.
Hi Charlotte. Yes, I’m on Dreamhost, too. I’m just starting out with Ruby apps there, so I’ll see how it goes. All the best.
Hi. I was able to get DataMapper working on Dreamhost with Sinatra. I installed all of the needed gems (sinatra, rack, datamapper, json, etc.) locally in my ~/.gem/gems folder following the instructions at:
http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/RubyGems
Then, I needed to make a .htaccess file in my public folder with the following lines, to make sure Phusion used my local gems:
SetEnv GEM_HOME /home/username/.gems
SetEnv GEM_PATH /home/username/.gems:/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
following these instructions:
http://markcarey.org/blog/2008/12/09/passenger-rack-on-dreamhost/
So, you may not need ‘gem.clear_paths’ before requiring datamapper, so you don’t call the dreamhost gem.
Hope it helps.
Thanks! I actually was able to run it after a few days after this post.
Now my problem is, since I’m hosted on a shared server, my ruby apps are being killed by a DreamHost script due to exceeding of RAM usage.
Are you hosted on a shared server too?
Technically you should just be able to downgrade the dependency on fastthread 1.0.4 to 1.0.1 and it should just work.
The main reason we had it set as a dep is because we haven’t personally tested that specific version with DataMapper. It’s very likely it won’t cause any problems at all though.
In the next minor release of DataMapper I’m going to remove all the hard dependencies in the code and allow programmers to manage their own gem dependencies. I’ll set up version recommendations in the gemspec/Rakefile, but we won’t enforce them in the library code anymore.
Thanks for the reply. I posted this problem on the DataMapper google group but no one answered.
I did try removing version of the dependency a long time ago, it did work. But I didn’t have time to test it. I was also afraid that maybe DataMapper needed something in that specific version.
That would be cool, by removing the dependencies from the library code, would give more flexibility to DataMapper.
I’ll look forward for that release.
I like the shading and also the hair it’s kinda small though, the bao-bao that is.
Hehe, I thought that you wouldn’t like Haruhi, cute isn’t?
Anyways, so you can’t use datamapper? So what are going to do?
Hmmmn… She has Short hair… hahaha
So I guess I should keep in mind how big baobaos are…
Haruhi chars are cute, but I prefer Nagato the most.
I will not give up on using DataMapper. hehe. There’s still one way I know on making DataMapper work, but I’m not sure if it will cause errors though..
Hopefully, I’m going to start the programming by next week. Since I’m going to upgrade to the latest Ubuntu.
