One Zombie in a Billion

My head is absolutely splitting today, think it’s the result of wearing a hoodie in an already hot office, like the idiot I am.

Anyway, I’ve been immersed in Django for the past 3 days and I’m really not getting tired of it. Showing off the “I can build an app in 10 mins” demo to anyone who will listen, in fact the homeless guy outside the office was surprised as to how fast is was and hoe elegant the code was.

Because I’m always oblivious to these things, I didn’t realise there were lines being drawn in the sand with Django facing off Ruby on Rails. Personally I see both being of immense use to my c.v utility belt and I’d love to work with Ruby on Rails, it looks like a fun framework.

So, I followed this fantastic installation guide by Dan Benjamin and everything went smoothly to the point of creating a test app, but when I tried to create a new app I keep getting told that the Rails command is not found, even though the bash_login file is pointing at the correct path (which, according to a few google searches is the common cause of the problem).

It’s driving me nuts, if anyone knows what I’m doing wrong here, I wouldn’t mind a hand.
