I couldn't remember the {} special characters. I originally tried with xargs, but it complained about some quoting, and so I just ghettoed it. Ah, thanks.

I second Avdi on the Google+ Hangouts option; we use one everyday with our remote team and I am always impressed by the audio/video quality. Great article.

Just a quick note: I frickin' love Google+ Hangouts for remote standups. I participate in at least one G+ standup every workday.  Good stuff.

Experimented with google hangouts for standups with decent success. Technically, it worked well, but didn't win over the in-office-team. For remote-only teams, I highly recommend.

Baker Wed, 05 Oct 2011 21:35:00 +0000 http://stevenrbaker.com/?p=49#comment-34 Graham! It would have been October/November of 2004, if I remember correctly. Bundler has been a complete pain, and it was left to its current maintainers in an awful state. They're doing the best they can, but they have a lot of compatibility concerns to deal with. Personally, I use Isolate, but I recommend you fixing your Bundler problem and sticking with it for the time being. The documentation, the community, and Rails itself depend pretty heavily on it. Of course, I'm happy to help you with it if you drop me an email. Great to hear from you! Graham! It would have been October/November of 2004, if I remember correctly.
