Ruby Blog

I've decided to create a Ruby only blog, though I'll keep cross posting here for now...who knows, I may change my mind and just keep the one blog here...

Viewing .CHM files on Mac OS X - Chmox

I tried several Mac options and had no luck (xchm froze, libchmxx has a utility called chmdissect - it worked, but no images)...finally, I struck gold with Chmox.

1) Install CHMLIB - http://www.jedrea.com/chmlib/

% ./configure
% make
% sudo make install

2) Install Chmox - http://chmox.sourceforge.net/

The binary is a standard dmg file...click on the dmg file and move the application over to your application directory.

Sending E-mail with Ruby Net::SMTP

All you need to know is here:
http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/net/smtp/rdoc/classes/Net/SMTP.html

def send_email(from, from_alias, to, to_alias, subject, message)

  msg = <<EOF
From: #{from_alias} <#{from}>
To: #{to_alias} <#{to}>
Subject: #{subject}
 
#{message}
EOF

  Net::SMTP.start('localhost') do |smtp|
    smtp.send_message(msg, from, to)
  end
 
end

Or if your mail server is on another machine:

  Net::SMTP.start(mail_server, port, helo_domain) do |smtp|
    smtp.send_message msg, from, to
  end

For example:

smtp.send_message('your.smtp.server', 25, 'mail.from.domain')
