Ruby - The Gem Of Life

This issue has been resolved --> Here



As an active Java developer, its impossible to ignore the references to Ruby as a programming language, and most popularly as a web development platform.



In a search to automate some remote commands through SSH, I've found very logical and simple solutions written in the Ruby programming language.

Unfortunately, the Gem isn't shining just yet...

The IDE I'm using is Netbeans 6.1, and my first attempt to extend a Java application to call on the Ruby framework was unsuccessful.

Let me rephrase... The first attempt to get a working "ruby gem", which is a package of ".rb" files used as a library, was unsuccessful.

Fortunately, Netbeans 6.1 has it's own JRuby Application wizard, but its throwing out of memory exceptions...

Perhaps Netbeans 6.5 makes some of these tasks smoother, but so far, JRuby has been a ruby in the rough.

Dell Zino HD Remote Standard

Took me hours and multiple calls to Dell Technical Support to find this information out. The Dell Zino HD uses the following IR standard for the Remote Sensor on the front: UPD6124A Here is the PDF specification:  http://www.datasheetcatalog.org/datasheet/nec/UPD6600A.pdf The support representative said most universal remotes use one of these two standards: RC5, RECS80 Unfortunately, this causes issues when trying to use a universal remote (example: XBOX 360 Universal Remote) with the Dell Zino HD.  A USB External IR sensor is needed to work with most universal remotes.  This is very confusing, as both devices list as a standard "Microsoft eHome Infrared Tranciever". What this means is that no remote -- other than the one that shipped with your device -- will work with your Dell Zino HD!  Scroll down to see my work-around. Since the Dell Zino HD only comes with 4 usb ports, the external sensor may have to be plugged in to the front of the devi...
