The fire in the Duckabush River basin has given us a couple of spectacular sunsets so far this week.

Cassandra with Ruby

Experiencing LoadError on thrift_client/connection trying to get "require 'cassandra'" to work on OSX.  Fixed by noting where the thrift_client gem directory is, then use:
- chmod o+r /thrift_client/connection/*.rb
- chmod o+r /thrift_client/*.rb

make sure that the connections directory as +x permission, or you'll get a similar error on thrift_client/connection/base.

update: then again, so far the 0.12 version fails to open connections to a local Cassandra server anyway,
making todays' frustrations in dealing with Cassandra integration complete.
tomorrow, one more try, then its either switch to Python or just break down and write it in Java.

Saturday at the Fair, an overview of some of the day's activities. It remains a very community and 4H focused event. Hope to add more pix from the horse pulls and demo derby later.
