I spent the afternoon and evening getting Ruby on Rails setup on a MacBook Pro. It should have been a straightforward install, but I kept getting an error about psych missing when I would run gem to install Rails. The system kept saying that I should install the yaml package and reinstall Ruby.
After much searching and frustration, I ended up using Homebrew to install libyaml. After reinstalling Ruby using RVM, all worked and I’m up and running.
I was working with iTunes tonight after installing Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro. I was going to copy the Script folder from the ~/Library/iTunes folder on the old system to the new system. I pulled up my home folder and realized that Library was not there. After doing a little digging, I found out how to get to the folder the Apple way.

The past few days, I started watching the lectures for Stanford’s iPad and iPhone App Development course (CS193P) from Fall 2011. The instructor, Paul Hegarty, is very good.

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs
A friend sent this to me yesterday. The original photographer is unknown.
My son and one other player on our boys 11/12 year old football team are over the 150 pound weight limit, so they cannot have any offensive plays scripted for them. There is a slight height difference between the two boys as you can see in this photo. Matt, my son, is #98. He is 6’2″ tall and 185 pounds right now. He is 12. Did I mention he wears size 14 cleats?
