hey jason. This tutorial is really useful, because my name is jason also, and so it looks exactly the same when I a run through your example.

Just a light note, your first example output of 'rake ready_for_the_day' says 5 cups of coffee, not 2 like it should.

I also moved the adapter away from other electronic devices and it has not failed since.

Not a Mac owner yet but a friend asked me [huge windows nerd] for pro-tips on customizing. "Post install osx" google led me here... Very nice pointers! I am saving your site for when I make the plunge [probably a mini w/ nvidia 320, I just have a hard time paying the mac tax]

Perhaps a little bit at the end with links to sites you suggest for further related reading would be my only request. Great blog, thanks for the very helpful post!

Check out http://github.com/mxcl/homebre.... There's instructions on there but you can do:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsS http://gist.github.com/raw/436..."

Then: "brew install mysql"

However, I'd recommend reading up a bit on homebrew before you make that commitment.

Hi, I would like to add a few details for people out there....

1. The rake files you create should be named with the .rake extension
2. Place your .rake files in /current/lib/tasks in order for it to be able to run

Other than that, great tutorial!

I dare to say that if wasn't Rails Envy I wouldn't be so into Rails right now, you guys did a great job together and hopefully will keep adding good things to Rails community.

I wish you the best!

Okay this is a little creepy - just yesterday I was talking to a coding buddy and you guys came up in conversation. "What ever happened to those two"? And now you post this today *cue twilight zone theme* I actually thought that you guys had split because you wouldn't stop saying Rails can't scale, and since Gregg was doing the Scaling Rails videos it was a conflict of interest. :p Glad to hear that you guys parted on amicable terms.

PS - Sorry for your loss, but congratulations on your proposal - best of luck to you good sir.
