First Rails database

Starting on the Swadesh project, I made a little Rails database just using scaffolding.

rails Swadesh
cd Swadesh/
rake db:create
ruby script/generate scaffold word swadeshid:integer orthography:string languageid:integer
ruby script/generate scaffold language ancestorid:integer name:string
rake db:migrate
ruby script/generate scaffold lineup wordid:integer phonemeindex:integer spaces:integer
rake db:migrate
ruby script/generate scaffold phoneme tipa1:string tipa2:string bitmap:text
rake db:migrate

Next I gotta make the xref table between words and phonemes. That'll be fun!

Rails

Ad:

gem update rails

rails path/to/your/new/application

cd path/to/your/new/application

ruby script/server

Reality:

sudo gem update rails

rails /Library/WebServer/Documents/Rails/Swadesh

sudo gem update rake

rails /Library/WebServer/Documents/Rails/Swadesh

sudo gem update activesupport

rails /Library/WebServer/Documents/Rails/Swadesh

Guys, transitive updating has been de rigeur for at least a decade now. Get with the times.
Not a promising start to learning Rails, but we'll see.Ad:

Start of programming blog

This is my programming blog (not to be confused with my personal blog or my photography blog. This is where I write about nifty programming things, irksome problems, and my programming works in progress. 
And, no, I didn't set up this blog myself, it's blogspot-based. I wanted to be sure to have it up tonight, that's how impatient I am. Why blogspot? Mainly because they allow me to use my own domain name for the blog (once DNS comes through).
