Bundler is rather slow at installing new/updated gems when someone else has committed changes to the Gemfile.lock. I decided to find a quicker way. I think this is quicker, it gives me progress output so it feels quicker anyway.

// This is the result of about an hour's delving into PHP's hairy-ass serialization internals.
// PHP provides a session_decode function, however, it's only useful for setting the contents of
// $_SESSION.  Say, for instance, you want to decode the session strings that PHP stores in its
// session files -- session_decode gets you nowhere.
//
// There are a bunch of nasty little solutions on the manual page[1] that use pretty hairy regular
// expressions to get the job done, but I found a simple way to use PHP's unserialize and recurse
// through the string extracting all of the serialized bits along the way.

When I launched the Practicing Ruby journal back in August 2011, I was just as excited about designing my own publishing software as I was about working on new articles. After several unsuccessful attempts at using existing services, I had finally thrown in the towel and decided that for this journal to be what I wanted it to be, it needed to run on its own custom software.

For the first few weeks, I was adding new bits of functionality as quickly as Jordan Byron and I could code them up. However, by mid-October we had built a tool that was good enough for day-to-day use, and I was generally happy with our progress. The unfortunate consequence of rea
