noreply@blogger.com (Yosef Kevin Yonathan) — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 01:17:46 PST

Some times ago, when I used Skype for the first time, I mistakenly removed Skype Test Call from my contact. I don't see the reason to keep it on my contact list until one day I face a problem.

RVM here stands for Ruby Versioning Manager, you ran read more about it here. After installing RVM , we need to create gemset, then tell our Rails application to use it.
