Bangalore Traffic is ridiculous

Went to buy one book and got stuck in traffic for 2 hours. Bangalore traffic is getting worse by the day. Also was confronted by a police for crossing the No Entry sign. Felt really good when I convinced him that I was honestly unaware of the new developments since last night and that I would be more careful. Atleast he was understanding.

Successfully installed Ruby on Rails

+++Ruby on Rails
To start with Ruby on rails download rails and then look at this short tutorial http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/export/html/7
Also look at these videos for installing on windows http://www.loudthinking.com/arc/000328.html
Download Mysql jdbc connector from
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/3.1.html
If MySQL installation or configuration fails and you get an Error: 0 or Error:1067 meaning you are not able to start or stop MySQL service
try deleting the service by typing the following at your dos command prompt
C:\> sc delete serviceName e.g C:\>sc delete MySQL
Also when you uninstall MySQL it does not delete the files and directories. Better go and delete them manually. This will also ensure that the next install does not get messed up and you don't see the above errors.
