There are days I actually feel like I understand what I'm doing with this Rails stuff. Yesterday was one of them.

  • RubyGems 1.0.1 - The gem system for installing Ruby software actually hit release 1.0.0 and then in quick succession 1.0.1. Nothing too earthshaking but nice to see an official non-zero version.

  • Better Nested Set - Successor to acts_as_tree and acts_as_nested_set. I used it in a project yesterday and it's doing fine, though I couldn't get the select helper for a view to do what I wanted and had to roll my own.

  • Installing RMagick Gem On OS X 10.5 - I did a ports/gem based install of RMagick this time around and it was easier than building from source. I did have to sudo port install ghostscript in addition to the steps listed here to get it to work.
