=== Snow Leopard, Ruby and MySQL

I was finally able to get the mysql 2.8.1 gem after a snow leopard upgrade. After trying many different builds, 64 vs. 32, etc, I ended up:
- removing the existing mysql bundle

  $ sudo rm /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/universal-darwin10.0/mysql.bundle

- installing 64-bit mysql 5.0 from the .dmg download

- building the gem with this command:

# downsample large attachment_fu images
namespace :images do
  desc "Downsample Large Images"
  task :downsample_large => :environment do
    count = Image.large.count # named scope
    chunk_size = 500
    (0...(count/chunk_size)).each do |i|
      images = Image.large.find(:all, :offset=>i*chunk_size, :limit=>chunk_size).each do |image|
        image.downsample!(55)
      end

                 # ...

  named_scope :large, :conditions => "size > #{1.megabytes}"

  DEFAULT_QUALITY = 60

  # Use spawn to fork the resize.
  # you'll want to have the following lines in environment.rb:

  def downsample!(quality=DEFAULT_QUALITY)
    id = spawn do
      image = Magick::ImageList.new(self.absolute_filename)
      image.write("jpeg:#{self.absolute_filename}") {self.quality = quality}
    end
    wait(id)
