*You’re doing it wrong*

edit: and after all that “We’re experiencing difficulties…” Lame.

The Collaborator Quick Start guide is the place to be.

[sudo] gem install heroku
# then
heroku keys:add
#your login details are taken and ssh key uploaded automatically
git clone git@heroku.com:APPNAME.git -o production
#using the proper git repo name.git


if git push heroku fails then do this:

git remote -v
#Hopefully you will see an origin or heroku

git remote add heroku git-url

Finally found the answer here:
macrumors – leopard imac waking from sleep issue.

It turns out the problem is caused by having Screen Sharing enabled, and the 5900 port (VNC) being exposed to the outside world through my router. While this allows me to remote connect from another Mac ….

The problem lies in the fact that the screen comes to life whenever ANYTHING connects to this port, be it another Mac, or a port scanner… before even authentication takes place. Tested this by trying to SSH to that port – bang, my monitors come to life.

Fixed it by removing the external port forward, and just using SSH into the Mac. Apple needs to stop waking up the screens until authentication has taken place.

Basically this means that the really awesome TouchPad app that got Fireballed a few weeks ago is only really useful if you turn off your computer (completely) at night or are willing to manually turn off port 5900 (the VNC port).

The weird thing is that this worked fine on Tiger.

So perhaps with Snow Leopard this won’t be a problem… ?

My [single item, cos i'm not paying!] portfolio is located here. Check it out!

dave@infinity:~/$ rake RAILS_ENV=production db:schema:load
(in /apps/special)
rake aborted!

(See full trace by running task with --trace)


In my routes.rb file I had specified a route as such:
# map.connect 'special-day', :controller => 'pages', :action=>'show',
:id=>Page.find_by_title("Special Day").id

DON’T DO THIS. Not sure in what way it struck me as an overly good idea, but just don’t.
Strip that route out of your code and if necessary replace it as such:

# map.connect 'special-day', :controller => 'pages', :action=>'special-day'

What threw me about this problem is that I thought there was an issue in my schema.rb or migrations, this isn’t the case: ‘rake’ is trying to load the environment and falls over because ‘Pages’ hasn’t got going yet.

Don’t forget when you’re finished you may need to re-setup and migrate (cap deploy:setup / cap deploy:migrations) before your site will go.

P.S. This (silliness) never went into production!

Things which piqued my interested: the islands use words like “ganzeys” for jumpers/jerseys/pullovers which my mother uses but not many others I’ve ever met; and the fact that during the War the island was officially classified as a ship called “HMS Atlantic Isle.” Which is pretty cool!

As of 1st March 2009 the Student Loans Company released some beautiful information:

The new rate for income based student loans is 1.5% from 6 March until further notice. Interest is applied to loans from the date they are paid to you until they are repaid in full.

Dear Mister Government sponsored money lending money company: I apologise for venting that you were a big hypocrite.
