[00:49] <havenwood> Godd2: Try?: update-alternatives

[00:50] <bnagy> holy crap I hope that's centos or something
[00:51] <Godd2> Well I'll tell you the problem I'm having right now.  I keep getting htis error: no such file to load -- bundler
[00:51] <Godd2> But I have bundler installed, so I thought maybe it jjust wasn't looking in the right place
[00:54] <Godd2> I think I'll just give up and wait until they decide to update Ruby

# Whaaa...??  Why isn't the position at 1?  If I run file.getc again I SHOULD get teh next character "I", no?
