The purpose of life is not to win. The purpose of life is to grow and to share. When you come to look back on all that you have done in life, you will get more satisfaction from the pleasure you have brought into other people's lives than you will from the times that you outdid and defeated them.

Rails Sucks

I've just started to learn Ruby on Rails (RoR). Got stuck when downloading rails behind a firewall. I wonder why Rails has poor documentation regarding the download steps.

Finally I manged to download rails by setting the following ENV_VARIABLE in Windows environment.

HTTP_PROXY=http://user:pwd@host:port

Even more disgusting is the fact, that I needed to change my password couple of times, since my credentials had special characters like @, %, !. Obviously, Rails hated this.
