Ach, du liebe Zeit!
That is the narrow Q-156 crank with 26/39 chainrings.
Fits nice & easy, there it about 10mm between the cranksarms & chainstays, and about 8mm between the chainrings & seatstays.Seems like the crank is made to fit a wider BB shell, lucky I had some appropriate spacers to fill the gap. I'm going to run 2x9 with an 11-34 XT rear cassette, 10sp chain with X-0 rear / SLX (OEM yik!) front and X-0 grip shifters.Lowest gearing will be 1.31, slightly taller than 22 front & 30 (second largest) rear. Highest gearing will be 0.28, slightly shorter than 44 front & 13 (second smallest) rear. So only miss out on 1 gear at each end of the spectrum but gain a wider range of usable ratios in each front ring. Looking forward to fitting it all up and enjoying the simplicity of 2 rings up front, narrower Q & a bit of weight saving.Next step, 1x10 when my legs grow up & the XX rear cassette is less than AU$500.
It was time for new tyres on the roadie, so without a great deal of thought I decided to get a set of red sidewall michelins to match the rest of the bike's redness.
So here it is before and after the red explosion what do you think?Can you have too much red?Are you realising the full potential of combined local and social networking?
Do you want to raise your profile and position yourself as the expert in your field?
Do you have a clear strategy for your traditional and social media activities?
If so, check out my presentation and find out how you can make your mark and be remarkable!
Thank you for watching!

I’ve been using social media applications such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Google, Slideshare, YouTube, Delicious and Posterous for over 18 months now. They have proved their value tenfold when used strategically to consolidate my local networking activities and grow my business.

Had a problem creating a rails app rails animals.
First needed to update Rails and friends.
sudo gem update railssudo gem update --systemsudo gem update --source http://gems.rubyonrails.orgsudo gem update actionmailersudo gem update actionresourcerails animals works now!
Run server: ruby script/server, visit localhost:3000 for the default RoR web page.
Stop server before adding a new controller: ruby script/generate controller Mammal. Start the server again and visit localhost:3000/mammal the web page displayed is "Unknown action, no action responded to index. Actions:".
Add a empty method breateto mammal_controller.rb restart the server and visit localhost:3000/mammal/breathe message is "Template is missing".
Create view breathe.rhtml in animals/views/mammal/ put some basic HTML markup in the view. Visit localhost:3000/mammal/breate The markup from the view is displayed in the web browser.
Insert ruby code into the breathe.rhtml view. Test in the browser. Usually action will pass the ruby code results to the view.
Create new rails application rails scenery, create new controller in scenery ruby script/generate controller Demo.
Add rubycode method to app/controllers/demo_controller.rb. with @time_now = Time.now. Create the view rubycode.rhtml in scenery/app/views/demo/ with a call by reference to @time_now. Start the web server and visit localhost:3000/demo/rubycode/ to see the current time as expected. The time is Tue Nov 10 09:56:45 +1100 2009
Create new application rails cabs, create controllerruby script/generate controller Vehicle. Add method to vehicle_controller.rbnamed cabtype. Add template cabs/app/views/vehicle/cabtype.rhtml. Start the server, visit localhost:3000/cabs/cabtype. This doesn't work visit localhost:3000/vehicle/cabtype vehicle bacause the convention is to match the controller name. Create file cabs/public/input.html. Edit vehicle_controller.rb add params hash variables. Edit the cabtype.rhtml template to make reference to the params variables e.g. @data1, @data2 etc.
Visit localhost:3000/input.html fill out the form. The form was copied and pasted from the .doc file. The form fields are not working because the HTML attributes are enclosed in quotes instead of primes. The form is now appears with the correct fields.
The form action needed to be changed to vehicle/cabtype, also the if else end statements needed the equal sign "=" removed for the correct valuation passed variables. A final adjustment to the application_controller.rb: add :only => [:create, :update, :destroy] to the protect_from_forgery line was required for everything to work.
