It is a paradox that paradoxes would actually exist in reality.
That means of course that they don't exist.

I particularly like the way that almost all of the categories are empty. $Shucks | :-\$

I was slightly disappointed that the Holding » Holding » Holding[^] category didn't turn out to be a recursive category.

And the Catering & Beverages[^] category doesn't have any bacon! OMG | :OMG:

The "error" alert on the register account[^] page is a particularly nice touch, though.

Oh, and not forgetting the copyright message in the footer which is three years out of date.

If only we knew who runs the site, so I could report these bugs. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

I don't know - I heard his carer was some Hungarian bloke with a penchant for gin. I think his name was "vile-most", or something. Big Grin | :-D

I just set up a portable (i.e. USB Drive) Ruby on Rails development environment using Cygwin, RVM, and Ruby 2.0.0. So far it works, although I had a timeout error while trying to install rails, but that quickly vanished.

Welcome to the Ruby side. Smile | :)

I've been doing Ruby on Rails development since Oct last year. It's a bit of a learning curve (I hadn't done any web development before) plus the whole feature testing thing, the language, getting familiar with best and worst practices, etc. Wrote a couple articles from what I learned. It's fun though.

I haven't updated to Ruby 2.0.0 - I'm still on 1.9.3. Don't know if I can have both installed on the same Windows OS.

By the way, get the RubyMine IDE - it's fantastic - all the things you expect - intellisense, syntax color, integrated debugging, tools and database management, etc.

I believe you can. Using Cygwin with RVM can help with that, and there is also Pik, which is like RVM, but works on Windows without Cygwin.

My "portable development environment" is whatever portable computer I'm currently using (at the moment, a Surface Pro w/type cover). Since I got my first laptop (and a special exception to allow me to bring it with me to class in high school), I've never felt the need for any sort or portable applications. Easier to just use the machine configured the way I like.

Sadly, I would have to agree. I set up a VM on a USB-SSD with my entire dev system, and sadly I never actually used it.

As always, my laptop ends up being my portable development environment.
