Hi there, I just bought the Rails Recipes and PDF preview of the book. So far it''s excellent. I decided to try Chapter 8 of the book regarding tagging. I''ve done migrations before, and I feel comfortable with them, however this error stumps me. -------------------------------------------------- antrover:~/RubyProjects/rlog dhoefler$ ruby script/generate migration

Yesterday I got the beta version of ROR recipes book and the recipes are great. For those of you still thinking about it, I highly recommend the book. The only thing I wish is that if there were some more recipes (greedy me), especially AJAX related and installing an application within your current application.

Instead of using sequential integers for IDs for my objects I was wondering if I could easily make it so that my IDs where longer auto- generated random strings/integers. So instead of: http://www.mydomain.com/user/view/1 Would be: http://www.mydomain.com/user/view/d81096b87a7c5565f On top of that... is there big benefits for security reasons to use non-sequential numbers?

I just started using edge rails and I wanted to know if it was just me or others are having the same problem.
