Google App Engine

I've recently been messing around with the Windows version of the Google App Engine again. I successfully built & ran the helloworld application after I encountered a small error. On this page you are told to enter the following in a Command-Prompt...

google_appengine/dev_appserver.py helloworld/

However after entering it, I recieved the following error...

'google_appengine' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

This error can be solved simple by omitting the beginning of the earlier command & typing in the following.

dev_appserver.py helloworld/

Ruby Update

I made this post a few months ago, it dealt with a bug in rubyscript2exe. Last night I installed the new version of Ruby & installed rubyscript2exe & discovered that it was working perfectly again.

rubyscript2exe bug

Creating an .exe in Ruby is a pretty simple task if you use rubyscript2exe. Recently however a problem has occurred where whenever you try to create an .exe you get the following message.

A bug report has been filed on the Ruby bug tracker by the man who wrote rubyscript2exe & there is also a discussion on comp.lang.ruby here.

Apparently some people encountered a similar issue with rubyscript2exe back in 2007 & another post was made here about it.
