Printing large image diagrams generated by RailRoad
Mar 23rd
I use RailRoad for generating Ruby on Rails diagrams, but always wish I could print those diagrams. Generally diagrams are too big to print on a single A4 size paper and I didn’t find any tool to print larger images in parts so that I can join them. If I print the image generated by RailRoad on single page, it of no use as it is hardly readable.
Fortunately, two days ago I found something which resolved this issue. It is a linux command and print a particular image on four pages. Here is that command:
lp -o scaling=200 models.png
Leopard sucks while installing/updating gems
Aug 7th
May be you guys have noticed that when you try to install a new gem on your machine it says some thing like “Updating meta data for 500 gems” and display one dot per gem. These dots moves very slowly and stops in some time.
I faced this situation many times and found a solution some where on net. I don’t remember the link but it worked.
According to that, you just need to add:
require ‘resolv-replace’
as the first require in /usr/bin/gem file.
enjoy!!
