Hi @garethadams . You're right, the code was wrong. I've updated it with something that should work, and included a comment about the reliability of the approach used.

Thanks for the feedback.

Re: Rails 3 Quicktip: Auto reload lib folders in development mode

The enumeration within

if Rails.env=="development"
RELOAD_LIBS = []
Dir["#{Rails.root.to_s}/lib/**/*.rb"].each do |path|
RELOAD_LIBS << path
end
end

is unnecessary as `Dir.glob` returns an array, `Rails.env` is wrapped in a StringInquirer which means you can use a query method to determine the current environment and `Rails.root` is a `Pathname` which means you have a `:+` method that joins your path in a more readable way.

The above code could be written more succinctly as

RELOAD_LIBS = Dir[Rails.root + 'lib/**/*.rb'] if Rails.env.development?

I've started a vim plugin that will allow you to access RVM rubies from within MacVim without too much trouble. You can find it on Github.

I occasionally need to use update-index when I need to quickly ignore a path on a per-repo basis. Handy when you don't want to commit some packaged assets you've just generated.

git update-index --[no-]assume-unchanged <file>

"The handset will support both full DixX playback, Flash and Silverlight…"

Should it be DivX support as opposed to DixX?

Nice write up Mark… might be worth changing the gemset separator as it has changed from a % to an @ symbol.

Very nice. I may have to persuade the other guys at work to leave Yammer and use Present.ly instead!
