Installing Gems on Shared Hosting service (like Dreamhost) First, you need to setup your .bash_profile. If you haven't already done it and make a directory for your gems. mkdir .gems echo 'export GEM_HOME="$HOME/.gems"' >> .bash_profile echo 'export GEM_PATH="$GEM_HOME:/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8"' >> .bash_profile echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.gems/bin:$PATH"' >> .bash_profile Of course, you could edit your .bash_profile using pico, nano or vi if you prefer. Then be sure to load all that: source .bash_profile If all goes well, you should be able to then install your own gems, update ones that are already there, and generally be a happier person. For example, you could update your rails gem with gem update rails --include-dependencies All of your personally-installed gems will end up in ~/.gems for you to use. (from dreamhost wiki)

On the 5th anniversary of 9/11 Can there be a better time than the 5th anniversary of 911, to start thinking about politics 2.0? Lots of policies changed, lots of beliefs drained ...Stringencies loosened and lossenesss' tightened...Suddenly everybody knows where middle-east is and who Bin Laden is?. ..Not to mention the fact that lots of non-sports magazines and websites started popping up..and that too with a huge success....Does this mean that every country needs from time-to-time a tap on the head reminding it to re-think its policies against other countries, recapitate the ideals killed, start being skeptical about what might come? start recognizing the potential of silent waters? I personally feel that 911 triggered the re-incarnation of US and many other countries....I don't justify such a cataclysmic event..Nor do I think that wrong policies can be only corrected via blood of thousands of innocent people...What I do think though is ...

Postino (Simple Italian Postman?) http://postinorestaurant.com/ What a difference a day makes? It was monday evening. Both Forum & I were not in any mood of cooking and thus we decided to go to an italian restaurant in the beautiful city of Lafayette. Random Google search, led me to this beautiful californian-italian place. The restaurant had its own charm with all brickish architecture adorned by faux finish and a woodburning oven. Forum ordered her all time favourite: home made pasta with marinara sauce and side of Alfredo and I ordered their egg plant parmesian with melted cheese and crispy basil on top. Great dishes, great taste though I must say that the best out of the breed was their home-bread with garlic-butter. The place also has an outside seating (sign of a romantic place, though we didn't dare to seat with rains falling cats-and-dogs). Overall, I would rate this as 8/10

Summary of Supercomputing 05 Things I attended 1) Tutorial on datawarehousing for Genomics and Proteomics (Marshal Peterson, CTO-Craig venter institute) - Talked about the Sargasso sea experiment. - produced 100 million of genetic code every 24 hours - 1800 new species - 1.2 million new genes - 12 complete genomes - Before this experiment we knew about only 120-180k genes - looked for something like: Take all genes which might be efficient in producing ethanol - generated 1 billion base pairs of dna - 85% of sequence was only seen once - Used it to better understand the functioning of natural ecosystem 2) Talked about Data Warehousing Netezza performance server system: Using Assymetric Massively Parallel Architecture: - combines symmetric multiprocessing with massively parallel architecture - Basically they tried to bring processing power to the data instread of sending data to the processing power - Also had facility of sql-blast i.e adding blast capacity in sql. - They have this con...
