First Official Day of Rail Girls Summer of Code

I woke up early and excited. I made juice then Lars and I drove across town together for my first official day of Rail Girls Summer of Code.

It was a successful first day. We set up our desks and got to work. First I realized that because I just switched computers last night/this morning from my other ThinkPad to my new super speedy, solid state drive ThinkPad that I had to re-install Rails and Bundler.

When I tried to install bundler I kept getting an error: This post helped me solve it: http://rubygems.org/pages/download

My next problem: installing node.js  
my error: 
sudo apt-get install node.js 
Reading package lists... Done 
Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 
E: Unable to locate package node.js 
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'node.js'

sudo install node.js 
install: missing destination file operand after `node.js' 
Try `install --help' for more information.

Then we started creating our Team Blog in Github Pages with the Middleman Gem. Jessica set up all the directions in the Read Me file. 
Of interest: .gitignore files https://help.github.com/articles/ignoring-files 
I need to set up a global ignore file so my swp files don't get uploaded when I do an add . to git.

Joyce and I updated our bios on the blog and created separate pages for the link "Read More" to go to.

The day went by so quickly that it felt like we didn't get much done. but I guess we did. I posted our first log in our Team Blog and Lars came to pick me up.

Once we finally were home I made a delicious dinner, chilled out for a while and fell asleep.

The rest of our team blogging will be done at: https://github.com/RGSoCBundler/rgsocbundler.github.io
