Ian, I liked both posts. Thanks for sharing.

You might try that. I am betting that you can get a lot of traffic from that. -- Ylan Segal y...@segal-family.com > On Oct 29, 2014, at 4:03 PM, Ian Young <i...@iangreenleaf.com> wrote: > > Hey all, > > I just published a blog post on solving common Ruby environment problems, > like the oh-so-frequent "you have activated version x.y.z of this gem, > but..."
