@qrush Yes, I'm doing it manually on a CentOS box. I hope the process is as friendly on the WinXP and OSX machiines... thanks for your help! 4:12 PM Nov 24th from Seesmic
@qrush I'm following you now so you can DM me if you want 3:53 PM Nov 24th from Seesmic
.@qrush thx but I get the 403 error even when trying "gem update --system" on 3 machines. "gem -v" on each shows 1.1.1, 1.2.0 and 0.9.5 3:48 PM Nov 24th from Seesmic
.@gemcutter I'm getting "bad response Forbidden 403 (http://gemcutter.org/latest...)" - is anyone else getting this? 3:31 PM Nov 24th from Seesmic
I'm really beginning to hate the phrase "after this update you *may* need to restart your computer" - should be *almost always* restart 11:31 AM Nov 24th from Seesmic
