I was using the following line in my bundle: gem "delayed_job", :git => 'git://github.com/collectiveidea/delayed_job.git' ...but it didn't work: it didn't generate the migration file, so the "rake db:migrate" command wasn't working. I used the following line in my bundle and after "bundle install" the migration file was created: gem "delayed_job", "~> 2.1.4" Thanks a lot . Regards, Sergio Lima Hi Jonathan,

Nice post !

I was using the following line in my bundle:
gem “delayed_job”, :git => ‘git://github.com/collectiveidea/delayed_job.git’

…but it didn’t work: it didn’t generate the migration file, so the “rake db:migrate” command wasn’t working.

I used the following line in my bundle and after “bundle install” the migration file was created:
gem “delayed_job”, “~> 2.1.4″

Thanks a lot .

Sergio Lima

I have apache up and running (has been for years) and must have already installed mysql before as it was there, but I have downloaded and installed the latest version (64 bit). I get the crypt error but also can't log in, have tried many settings but am not that familiar with a lot of this. #1045 Cannot log in to the MySQL server when trying to log in. I'm going to restart everything now and see if that helps. Any suggestions would be really welcome. I’m having issues setting this up on my macbook pro.

Good stuff. I should have read this before working on my last project with jQuery. I could have used your advice on speeding up DOM element retrieval... specifically ID verses Style Class detection on heavy pages. Simple, yet efficient. I probably should have known that already. In that project, I became a big fan of $().delegate() for event handling. Using that instead of $().bind() noticeably improved client side load times on pages with many event ready elements. It wasn't a magic bullet though, some times I was forced to go back to bind() and click() in specific cases. If I have another jQuery project, I'll be sure to follow some of your guidelines. Later, Carl Hey Jon.
