I fond some instructions on how to set up a ruby on rails development environment using Eclipse. These instructions are not hard to convert to Mac OS X . The only problems I had were:
- I was using Eclipse 3.1 and the menu options were a little different
- /usr/bin/ruby and /usr/bin/rails instead of c:\blah
- I used
http://rubyeclipse.sourceforge.net/builds/release/0.6.0/updateSite/
for the updatesite URL because 0.5.0 is not compatible with Eclipse 3.1
Make sure you’re on a reliable connection, as the download takes a while.

Clean tech investing to hit $1.5 billion this year
Venture capitalists sunk $369 million into start-ups promoting alternative energy and products that leave less of a dent on the environment during the second quarter, according to the CleanTech Venture Network
The article notes that alternative energy is most heavily invested in but up and coming is also water purification and treatment. Hmmm.. a tech boom that is also good for the environment? Is it possible?
