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.

• blog
• posts
• markdown
• upmark
• ruby
• rubygems
• instructions
• new-site

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.

One of the cool things I learned while building our new site was how to generate your site navigation menu without having to do the highlighting logic yourself.

• ruby
• rubygems
• gem
• rails
• rails3-1
• navigation
• simple-navigation
• new-site
• new-look

I ran into this issue today. But this one's easy. Just run the following command and install the gem again:

• rubygems

As you may know I've been learning Ruby on Rails for the last few weeks. I'm also currently developing an application using the edge version of RefineryCMS (which is really a Rails 3.1 application), integrated with the almighty Heroku.

• fixes
• gem
• instructions

• postgresql

I like to have an rvm gemset (see more about rvm) with the latest versions of all gems and I usually use this as my sandbox for testing out the latest features and issues of the gems. To update one gem to it's latest stable version, you just have to run this:

• all
• delete
• gems
• instructions
• ruby
• rubygems
• rvm
• uninstall
• update
