Added this to my .vimrc, to remove the annoying underlining of the ‘a’ html element.
hi def linkBlue ctermfg=DarkBlue
hi def link htmlLink linkBlue

Simply add “;nil” or “;0″ or anything other value you don’t mind seeing, to the end of the command.

>> Person.find(:all);nil
=> nil

I followed selected portions of this howto to install a fresh copy of Ubuntu on a box I administer. Then I tried to follow this howto to get Ruby on Rails; but I hit a snag while trying to install RubyGems. I did the following commands:

sudo ruby setup.rb config --prefix=/usr/local
sudo ruby setup.rb setup
sudo ruby setup.rb install

The solution to this was to export RUBYLIB=/usr/local/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8 which I found at this site.

Thanks to Eugene Kashida, I was informed that when searching in Vim you can force a case-sensity search by appending \C to your search; similarly, if appending \c will force a case-insensitive search. For example:

/FooBar\C will find “FooBar” but not “foobar”

/FooBar\c will find both “FooBar” and “foobar”
