Just checking on whether we're meeting tomorrow, and if so if it's
same time, same place.

Same time, same place.

I've updated the calendar and good 'ol blog, so the communication will
go out through the usual channels.

From the couch (ah sweet, sweet vacation day),

Random request. I've got some Boulevard Wheat I'm trying to finish
off tomorrow night so we're doing the LPDN at my house (see below).
If you guys are interested in heading back downtown for the evening,
would love to pick your brains about some issues I ran into trying to
get geokit and geokit-rails running.

I was about to suggest joining the larger group this week, having just
seen your message about it. I don't know anything about geokit (Nate
might) but I would be happy to provide theories, at least.

Free as in beer: I'm there.
Free as in jazz: I'm busy.

And I'll take a break from my rspecking lessons to tinker around with
geokit. What kind of issues were you running into?

Sweet! The more the merrier!

So I went through the ./script/plugin installation, no prob, added the
"config.gem 'geokit'" line to my config/environment.rb, then installed
it. Had issues with that so tried installing it globally. That
worked, but only after I patched it (probably wrong) so that it wasn't
calling delete() on a symbol. Appears it should have been doing:

v = v.to_s.delete

That's on line 84 of
http://github.com/andre/geokit-gem/blob/2fb064d7df55a23a851fcf9df46b2838c18839b2/lib/geokit/geocoders.rb
Making the change got it running at least with no errors.

When I tried to use my model though, I was getting a "map_as_actable"
not defined.

I really like the idea of using a geo library that does everything in
the language so I'm not tied to the DB, but this proved more difficult
than it seemed worth. :-/
