My talk at the meetup this evening

[Sau Sheong Chang]

Hi,

My talk at the meetup this evening is titled 'Money, Sex and Evolution
- simulation and data analysis with Ruby and R'.

The talk's not about the usual how-to stuff or even sharing of tools
and experiences. I'm going to talk abt how I used simulations written
with Ruby to figure out things around us. I won't be showing code
(unless you ask for it specifically, after the talk) and I wouldn't
talk abt implementation either so this is good for both beginners as
well as more advanced programmers.

Drop in if you're free!

Yay! I'll talk a little about using redis with rails after yours. Also, my little 3 months adventure at the bay area.

Looks exciting already. :)

Aww shucks I just left SG two days ago so won't be able to catch both your talks and Jason's. :-(

for anyone who may be interested to find out more about Redis or try
it out, here's a link to an interactive Redis tutorial in the browser:

Thanks Mingding!

Also for a quick primer, read

Thanks Sau Sheong for the talk. Do stay tune for his upcoming Everyday Programming book.

Forgot to mention this yesterday - Thanks Subh for organizing the meet up!

Hi guys,

I'm new into ruby. Cloned your github project and tried to run the
first simulation, but got an error:

Andras:~ andras$ cd projects/everyday/Chapter\ 7\ -\ Money\,\ sex\
and\ evolution/money/
Andras:money andras$ ruby utopia.rb
utopia.rb:3:in `require': no such file to load -- enc/trans/transdb (LoadError)
from utopia.rb:3
Andras:money andras$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.7 (2010-01-10 patchlevel 249) [universal-darwin11.0]

It seems like a missing package. Is it because I need a newer ruby?
How should I install the new ruby? With brew? (i'm on mac osx)

Thanks,
Andras

[Daniel Da Cunha]

Hello Andras,
I strongly recommend rvm (http://beginrescueend.com/rvm/install/) it's simple to install and will allow you to have multiple rubies and gemset on your mac.

Enjoy!

Daniel

[Sau Sheong Chang]

Hi Anras,

You are right, you need to use Ruby 1.9. Forgot to mention it
yesterday. You should install RVM as Daniel suggested, makes life
easier for u :)

Thanks for sharing!

(Damn.. missed such an interesting talk.. ><.. reminds me of a module I took in NUS called 'Complexity', which was about emergent behaviour [but not using Ruby!])

[Jason Ong]

This is a good simple article on redis and its use cases with rails.
