Thanks. -j Hey,

I have a few questions about Daily Routine
1) Will a full mac version be created for the App store?
2) If so, will it feature cloud sync between my iPhone, iMac at work and iMac at home?
3) Will Daily Routine be able to sync with iCal – I feel that your interface is easier to use than iCal, but I like publishing my iCal – it would be nice to import everything into iCal.

Thanks.

I have had great success with this program. I would recommend using 25-50 control points per photo as well as smart blending. Save it directly to a JPEG because it will be too large to edit in Photoshop unless you have a monstrous computer. @Douglas – Give Autopano Pro a try. I have had great success with this program.

Now I am facing the exact error tracked in the Redmine ticket database: Defect #4610: undefined method `env_table' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) with rev 3335 http://www.redmine.org/issues/4610 There seems to be no solution yet. Since I do not use Redmine I think this problem is not directly connected to Redmine, but rather to rails / active_support itself. I strictly have to use CGI for dispatching (no FastCGI available on the web server, as well as no other modules installations are allowed). If anybody has news on how the described issue can be resolved please post. Update:

I try to make a rails skeleton app work on my web space (Hosteurope WebPack M 3.0). That web pack offers ruby (versions 1.8.7 & 1.9.0, installed in /usr/bin/ruby & /usr/bin/ruby1.9) but not rails. Now I think it should be possible with freezing rails and dependencies to the project's vendor directory to run the rails application on this Apache 2.2 server. I only have access via FTP. Basically I followed the steps provided here apart from 3 (I get a security error in the Apache logs if I try to create a symlink via PHP but I think the symlink is not needed since I already point my web root to the rails_app\public folder via the hoster's configuration web interface. Btw, am I right here?) Also I can create .htaccess files via FTP but it seems they are disobeyed by the server. What I have done is I have registered .fcgi (together with the already present .cgi .pl .py .sh .rb) as recognizable script extensions for every folder using the configuration web interface. I am aware of the mod_rewrite directives in .htaccess have to be activated to make the rails app work but is there any way for me to know for sure before I upgrade my WebPack M to L (which has full .htaccess features) my rails app will work then? The hoster says mod_rewrite is availabe then. Is FastCGI always available on today's Apache? Nevertheless, it should work with only (the slower) CGI, right? What I am getting now when I browse my domain is the rails sample app page ("Welcome aboard") but when I click the "About your application’s environment" link I get error 404 (not found). No log entry is produced in rails_app/logs, all I get is an error line in the Apache log files that says "File does not exist: /is/htdocs/XXX/www/app_rails/public/rails, referer: http://YYY.com/". I wonder what should exist in ../public/rails or is this error due to a wrong redirection?! Any help is greatly appreciated.. Thanks for this post.

I have SSH access to the my server but found your information useful as the cPanel initiation of a rails app didn't generate the necessary dispatch.fcgi files. I was stuck banging my head against the wall for about five hours before finding your post. I then generated the files and viola! I sent them a bug report and would like to thank you for the time you took to write this article. cheers! Doug thanks for this post.

I have spent a number of years working on an image that I took in 1989 when the bErloin Wall came down. I took 70 contiguous 35mm film frames of some grafftti on the wall as I sidestepped along the wall. I have assembled the images into a 330,000 pixel by an average of 3500 pixel horizontal panorama. Uncompressed tif the image is around 4.5 GB in size. I had some horizon creep up anb down but stayed a constant distance from the wall. The color balance trends a bit as I did it back in Photoshop 1 and worked from left to right andf matched as I went. DO you know what softwatre could handle such a task as I would like to redo the image letting the computer handle the stitching and compare the results to see which is best. Thanks, Douglas Nicolaisen Hi,
