meant “you need a newer version of rails to work with 1.9 silly”

This odd error meant “you have a ruby comment on the line of a method definition–don’t do that!”

Windows default look is somewhat grating, I’ll admit.
How to make it better?

Apply a theme via allure!

http://ccollomb.free.fr/allure/

download the one with aero in it and voila–a beautiful windows.

try using the “caller” method

here’s how to get it:

(class << hello; self; end)

of

class Object
def singleton_class
(class << hello; self; end)
end
end

Here’s how…

$ gem install mark-moseley-linecache — –with-ruby-include=c:/dev/ruby/downloads/ruby_trunk # for mingw–replace with your own path to source for linux
$ gem install mark-moseley-columnize — –with-ruby-include=c:/dev/ruby/downloads/ruby_trunk
$ gem install mark-moseley-ruby-debug-base — –with-ruby-include=c:/dev/ruby/downloads/ruby_trunk
$ git clone http://github.com/mark-moseley/ruby-debug.git
$ cd ruby-debug
$ rake package # create ruby-debug.gem
$ cd pkg
$ gem install ruby-debug-0.11.gem –ignore-dependencies

Follow the instructions on the wiki: http://wiki.github.com/mark-moseley/ruby-debug
and experience the goodness of ruby-debug.

We know that typically windows is slow. Dog slow. Awful.

Reason? Disk thrashing and/or running out of available RAM.

Solution? use Google Chrome to save on RAM.  Solved!
