[LRUG] Help with getting Rubygems/Ruby to work in Twitter datamining

[Max Williams]

5 years or so ago i was also a masters student (at birkbeck), doing a rails
app for my project.  This was my first time using ruby or rails, and it was
mostly fun with a lot of config hell (I'd never been on a server before so
that was a learning curve).  I did a kind of stream of consciousness blog
about it which might be useful - it's the story of a novice coder
struggling with rails :)  I started off in windows too and then at some
point switched to coding in an ubuntu VM which was *so* much nicer.  See
also ditching netbeans/eclipse and switching to text editor and command
line.

Scroll down to august/september 2007 for the end-of-project pain :)
