Clear your logs in development automatically when they are too large.
# config/initializers/clear_logs.rb
# This snippet simply clears your logs when they are too large.
# Large logs mean looooong search in TextMate. You know it :)
# Every time you run rails server or rails console it checks log sizes
# and clears the logs for you if necessary.
