Problem
Upgrading an existing Ruby on Rails application from 1.2.3, to 2.0.2, presents few problems. I will try and keep a record of the ones I encounter along the way, here.
Solution

Change the config/environment.rb to let the application know to use the 2.0.2 gem rail version,
change the following line from:
RAILS_GEM_VERSION = ‘1.2.3′ unless […]

Heading back through Biei I realise that the landscape is quite unjapanese. the rolling hills look like a alpine meadow, but in japan everything is rugged or flat with little in between. the picture is quaint, and in summer it is rumoured to be a beautiful place. in fact, it seems that the whole of […]

RAILS_GEM_VERSION = ‘2.0.2′ unless defined? RAILS_GEM_VERSION

You should probably be geting the error: undefined method = time […]

(Editor’s Note: I’m pretty sure they’re not called “Ninja Snacks,” but because there’s a frickin’ ninja on the packaging I’m calling them that.)
I’m not sure what ninjas like to snack on, but I can only assume it’s the blood and souls of their victims…and possibly Doritos, because the pointy chips are not only awesomely […]
