As I explained before on the Rails 3.1 - Adding custom 404 and 500 error pages post, sometimes you might want to have a custom way to handle your not found and internal server errors. In that case we wanted to show the error with a custom template.

About three weeks ago, I had to use the jQuery Rambling Slider together with the Rails asset pipeline...
It was a headache and a total mess... Having to change all the references to the images on the CSS file, as well as the themes was not as smooth as I would like that to be.

As I said in my last post, for our new site, we changed our blog engine from WordPress to the Postmarkdown gem. At the end of that post, I mentioned that we had to migrate the old posts from WordPress to Markdown.

Another thing we added to our new site, uploaded back at the end of December, was the ability to write our blog posts in Markdown, which is a text-to-html tool that allows you to write formatted text without actually having to write all the corresponding HTML. Markdown is used for the project wiki pages on GitHub, and can also be used for the project's readme file.

Today, I was wondering if there would be a way to add translated routes automatically in Ruby on Rails. This is for a project I'm currently working on, whose users speak mostly spanish, so I want to make them happy with urls like "/contacto", "/quienes-somos" and "/trabajos/1" instead of "/contact", "/about-us", and "jobs/1".

Yesterday, I was trying to run the rails console command on Ubuntu with ruby 1.9.2 and rails 3.1, without any success. I was getting a no such file to load -- readline error. This kind of error was sort of familiar for me (I had the common no such file to load -- zlib and the not so common no such file to load -- openssl a while ago). So this was probably another package that I was missing.
