  Ideas to get a newbie started?

  Yeah, the Pragmatic book is more about general ruby than rails development, which is where one of my quandaries is. I'm not sure weather or not it's better to learn ruby first, then rails or to try and learn them at the same time. The problem with the former is obviously that it would take longer and more practice overall, but it seems like I would come out with a clearer view of what's actually going on. Also, the next version of OS X will come with a Ruby-Cocoa/Obj-C bridge which would make it possible to write desktop apps in ruby.
  
  That said I still want to learn rails and maybe there's some advantage to learning ruby/rails together that I'm not seeing. I've only really tried to get going with vanilla ruby so far, and that hasn't really been working
  
  About symbols, they have been confusing me but just last night I found this link (13 Ways of Looking at a Ruby Symbol) which helped a lot. But any more help is definitely excellent

  Should I reinstall OSX?

  If this is still applicable, I'd recommend SuperDuper as a way to backup/clone your HDD. It's free!

  For coffee lovers

  I actually got one of those aeropress coffee things recently. It makes some pretty good brew, but you have to be careful and not put too much water in it and to stir the hot water in long enough, or you'll get undrinkably bitter coffee. It also seems to amplify the difference between good coffee and okay/cheap coffe... or maye that's just my head.

  Regardless, it's good for dorm use because there's no room for a 'honkin pod presser.

  mog.com, I have an account, but don't really mess with it too much, so I couldn't answer many questions

  Favourite artist/band?

  The Dismemberment Plan, Pinback, Fugazi. Modest Mouse used to be my favorite band, but their latest CD (We Were Dead...) has me really disappointed.

  Radiohead, The Faint and Cursive are probably near the top of the list, too. Maybe add a dash of King Crimson for good measure.
