	# add RailsAdmin to the Gemfile
	# do NOT add devise
	gem "rails_admin", :git => "git://github.com/sferik/rails_admin.git"

	# run Bundler
	bundle

	# run the generator for RailsAdmin
	# looks like it's broken, but it just does not install devise
	# you may also remove the app/config/locales/devise.en.yml

	# when I write new blog posts I usually have a temporary folder called new_post on my desktop
	# that I place images I want to upload to amazon s3 (which is distributed as CF) and then
	# get the appropriate URLs to put the images in my blog post

	# I usually save files as some_slug.png and some_slug_1200.png
	# with the latter being a larger version (1200px wide) of the first.
	# a typical upload will include 20 files. 2 versions of some (sm and lg), and some orphans
	# so this compares filenames and if it detects a larger version of a file,
	# it links the the smaller image to the larger image (i use fancyzoom on my site)
	# if not, it just links to the image
