Don’t forget to VOTE! Also, check out my other posts to the left concerning the development process using NetBeans. Update: The zip archive was quite large and took awhile to extract thanks to all of the doc files and random libraries included. I’m trying to trim it down to a more manageable size for all [...]
Well it is 2:40 AM my time on July 22nd and I am not where I would like to be in the project. However, I do have something to show and will try to package some semblance of a useful application. Truthfully, this is a piece of junk. It collects CPU load and displays a [...]
After pulling a little hair out due to problems with environment variables, my application is capable of drawing a line: Again, many libraries are helping me out here. They’re all well documented and easy to use, but sometimes difficult to install. Steve
I was fed up with RubyStack, so I decided to go from scratch and build up the development environment. Potentially this will allow me to deploy the apps in a single (large) zip file that contains Ruby, Rails, and maybe MySQL. I’ll try to convert to SQLite before I release the application. This looks bad: [...]
Well the close of the race is upon me. I have the basics working and a simple HTML user interface able to display the samples collected from hosts specified on the network. Nothing too fancy. I am a complete Ruby novice, so this has been a bit of a challenge. I must say though, that [...]
Everyone else seems to have nice GUI’s already. I really haven’t made very much progress relative to the other competitors! This is no fault of the IDE, but rather my inexperience and choice of tools. That said, the resources available to the NetBeans and Ruby community are tremendous and I’ve got the core of the [...]
Just a quick post with a screenshot again. Upon firing up Netbeans I was presented with the following: My only choice is to take the survey? No thankyou, I want to code right now. I try clicking the “X” in the corner, no response. Had to restart the JavaVM to get my IDE back. You [...]
Alas, such is the way things work and I haven’t been able to spend much time on my entry. A little digging and testing of things… hopefully I’ll have another update later tonight. First off, I’m loving NetBeans. I open up the editor, and straight away their developers have posted a fix for a bug. [...]
Well not a WHOLE lot of progress in the past few days. But this is a good sign: Not that having a web server running on all the “clients” in your network is the best solution, but it works for now! For security I think I could implement SSL, but haven’t looked into that yet. [...]
So I didn’t have much time today to get much done on the project. Just did a little more research as I am very new to Ruby. I love browsing development communities as there are always a handful of developers that are really inspiring. Seems as if they can do anything, with any tool. The [...]
