Setting up MySQL For Ruby On Rails

Python Vs Ruby, don't want to debate on that, however right now I have given up on Python and more interested in exploring Ruby on Rails. For a quick guide on installing MySQL you can visit http://www.sapphiresteel.com/Installing-MySQL-For-Ruby-On-Rails
Another good step by step guide to running Ruby on Rails can be found at http://blog.completelysurrendered.com/?p=6
More on Ruby on Rails later.

LIBOR Rate up

Another increase in the LIBOR rate. In other news the market closed lower today, the FED released its 6th report on the economy for this year. I would definitely like to do some sentiment analyses over the report (would like to test my newly acquired Python coding skills). WSJ has an article which states that the rates cuts might be on their way pretty soon. I think as FED point of view the market is still in pretty OK position unless the DJIA goes below say 12,458 i.e. it sheds its entire gain for the year and the economy would be in recession.

Apple slashes iPhone 8GB price by $200!

Nice news, however I still prefer to wait for the second generation of the iphone or if Nokia does launch a similar product I would go for that. The new N95 seems to be awesome but the iphone touch screen feature is something which I desire at present. Right now Apple Inc. seems to be the blue eyed guy in the Technology Sector. I believe its more of a feel good factor, many of the features present in the iphone had their presence in the market way before the iphone was introduced. The new ipod nano looks cool no doubt about it. I am not complaining, nice, very nice.
