First, while I sympathize with everyone who clamors for an Intel version of a given program, it only takes an Intel-native release like Office 2008 to render me regretful what I wish for. Rosetta is an amazing thing: NV 1.1.1 for me is every bit as fast and useful as it ever was. Intel or not, it’s still the only note-taking program that’s actually useful.

That said, I can assure you that Zachary Schneirov makes no small plans.
And he has plans for NV! Like some others, I’ve gotten a taste and can hardly wait. Get ready…

Nifty little application indeed …..

Just in case anyone’s interested.. The equivilant jQuery is:

$(’.passwordReminderLink’).click(function(){
if ($(’#username’).attr(‘value’)) $(this).attr({href:$(this).attr(‘href’) + ”?username=” + $(’#username’).attr(‘value’)});
});

Love this. Simple, effective and solves a problem, mate.. Consider the concept nicked for my current-in-dev :-)

hypsometry.blog.comments@cboone.fea.st (Chris Boone) — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 05:29:48 GMT

That would be related if we were talking about Rails processing the response from a server. However, this is about Rails generating the response.

dburkes@netable.com (Danny Burkes) — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 11:58:26 GMT

Upon further review, it is actually Ruby’s String#blank? that defines whitespace-only strings to be blank.

So perhaps this is just Rails learning from Ruby :-)

dburkes@netable.com (Danny Burkes) — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 11:56:38 GMT

Perhaps this is tangentially related to the fact that Rails’ String#blank? method considers a String that contains only whitespace to be blank (i.e.- nothing).

So at least Rails is consistent in its definition of nothingness :-)

Hi, found your site when I was looking for any info on Zach Schneirov. He and I went to northwestern together and were pretty decent friends; his sense of humor was indeed fantastic! I have some videos that are so good…

He does have an intel version of Notational Velocity and he sent it to me when I requested it earlier this year. Unfortunately my hard drive crashed and I don’t think it’s on my backup. That’s why I’m looking for zach, who is as elusive and paranoid as he is intelligent and friendly!

Zach should really maintain his site… maybe i will do it for him. He wasn’t finished developing the intel version but it worked perfectly, and I was really happy to have a native and updated version of the program; there were some nice improvements to 1.1.1 as well.

Anyway, send me an email, if I get ahold of NV Intel I will share it with you.

Cheers,
Marc

Ha. Surely don’t know. In theory, I can’t see why not. But in practice, everyone who uses those suits uses them for toxic stuff. Like you.

Let me know how it goes if you try.

What about the suits? Can you ship them the suits too?

Although, I use a Tyvek suit every year to pull up the poison ivy that creeps from my neighbor’s yard and into mine and Tyvek probably won’t take it back with poison ivy juices all over it.

this is totally ridiculous. I was just trying to do this exact thing, and thankfully I found this post before I tore what little there is left of my hair out. I wonder if I store the array of hashes as an array of arrays of hashes if it will work? What a silly ‘requirement’—I guess we’re spoiled by a framework that almost always just ‘works’.... Too bad this is a huge legacy app which I will most likely never upgrade to rails 2…

hypsometry.blog.comments@cboone.fea.st (cboone) — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 05:36:03 GMT

That’s true. But how would that serve as a workaround?

Or, to put it another way, wouldn’t any such workaround be so complex – and so case-specific – that it wouldn’t really be worth implementing or maintaining?

dburkes@netable.com (Danny Burkes) — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 06:17:15 GMT

The default value of a hash doesn’t have to be nil- you can specify the default value explicitly. So, that might be a workaround, albeit an ugly one.

Thank you for the informative write up.

I’ve come across a strange problem – Firefox (2.0.0.3) does not seem to cache the versioned assets, but caches non-versioned assets fine. Internet Explorer caches versioned assets. Is this a known issue, and is there a work around? Currently, my rails site is much faster in IE than in Firefox due to Firefox reloading all the assets repeatedly.

Thanks,James

Nice image name!

I still think flickr’s system for file versioning is better (looks cleaner, each asset has separate version numbers, no file system hit), but the Rails way is simple and works out of the box, regardless of web server.

I’m sure the funky URLs would befuddle many Rails newcomers, so thanks for writing this up.
