Setting up and installing rbenv, ruby-build, rubies, rbenv-gemset, and bundler

This guide enables you to install (ruby-build) and use (rbenv) multiple versions of ruby, isolate project gems (gemsets and/or bundler), and automatically use appropriate combinations of rubies and gems.

Where to Post your Data Journalism Jobs

Update: This has moved. An updated and maintained version is here: http://alignedleft.com/resources/data-vis-jobs

I posed this question on Twitter:

If you wanted to hire a “data journalist” to support an existing reporting team with data parsing + vis, how would you find that person?

I've documented the responses here. Basically, there seems to be only one job site specifically for data journalists (so far!), and several others, depending on which audience you want to reach (e.g., more focused on development, data vis, or journalism).
