			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Suppose you want to start gem development, and you want to use bundler to generate your skeleton gem.  Great!   Now what about the tests?  I wanted to know how to add Rspec to my basic gem and get going.</p>

<p>Here are the steps I used:</p>

<p><code>bundler gem fooster</code></p>

<p>Then edit the generated Gemfile (fooster/Gemfile) to add rspec as a dependency</p>

<p><code>
    s.add<em>development</em>dependency "rspec"
</code></p>

<p>Then create the spec directory to hold your specs</p>

<p><code>mkdir fooster/rspec</code></p>

<p>Then create the fooster/spec/spec_helper.rb file</p>

<p><code>
    require 'rubygems'</p>

<pre><code>require 'bundler/setup'

require 'fooster' # and any other gems you need

RSpec.configure do |config|
  # some (optional) config here
end
</code></pre>

<p></code></p>

<p>I use guard to autorun my specs, so make sure that is installed (optional)</p>

<p><code>
    gem install guard</p>

<pre><code>gem install rspec-guard

cd fooster

guard init rspec
</code></pre>

<p></code></p>

<p>Then create your first spec</p>

<p><code>
    #fooster/spec/fooster_spec.rb</p>

<pre><code>require 'spec_helper'

describe Fooster do
  pending 'write it'
end
</code></pre>

<p></code></p>

<p>Then execute guard</p>

<p><code>    guard</code></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just posted this to craigslist:</p>

<p>I am web developer who specializes in Ruby on Rails contracts and works remotely from my home office. Currently looking for new projects, I&#8217;m open to conversations about new contract possibilities. My company is Silverchair Solutions, an agile web development consultancy.  I have over 13 years of web development experience 
and two and a half years of Rails experience.  Recently some of my work was published in the Advanced Rails Recipes book (Pragmatic Programmers &#8211; see the wizard chapter!).  I am a former Oracle DBA and am very comfortable designing databases as well as configuring linux/mac os servers in support of my web applications.</p>

<p>To learn more about me, view my Linkedin profile <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/pub/0/51/b39">here:</a></p>

<p><a href="http://www.workingwithrails.com/person/8989-mike-hagedorn">Working with Rails Profile</a></p>

<p>If you have a project that you think I may be able to help you with, please send me an email with a short description of what it is you need done and we will chat!</p>

<p>Thanks,
Mike</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok I know there are a million ways to do this &#8220;by hand&#8221;, but if you have a .mac membership this is for free basically&#8230; automatic remote access to your machines on the internet via your .Mac account.  If you look carefully under the .Mac settings for Leopard, there is a &#8220;Back To My Mac&#8221; option.  This basically wraps up all of the things like dyndns, etc into one easy to use package.  Its really cool!  Now I just need to have two machines running Leopard.  I wonder if I can hack Tiger to use this?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow.  A few days ago I was diligently working on some rails projects I have going, and I heard a huge <strong>THUMP</strong>.   It seems that one of the trees in my 
front yard decided to break off and hit the roof.   Luckily no real damage was done (other than a gutter), but I did have to go to Lowe&#8217;s and
buy the ultimate man toy &#8212; a chain-saw.  Otherwise there is no way I could have cleaned up the 25 foot long monster that was lying up against the house.
I am glad no-one was under that!</p>
