using class level state is generally considered to be dangerous. (@@var type stuff) - OK for this project since it's the only thing using its own code, but if this were a gem where people could pull in your code, imagine what would happen if someone accesses the Conditions/Equipments/Spells @@all attribute and changes stuff?

as an alternative, you could create wrapping objects (something like EquipmentCollection) that exist just to fetch and hold all of the items, and your CLI would talk to those Collection objects to present the lists of all of the items.

consider using a gemfile/gemspec (gemspec if this could be a gem) to declare your dependencies

declaring an array and shoveling items into it is redundant in ruby:

things = []
doodads.each { |dd| things << "based god say: #{dd}" }

# is equivalent to:

Redis as an OSX service!

####here's where this solution was pulled from: Ted Naleid's blog

####minor changes in this gist:

service name => calling io.redis.redis-server seemed like too much, redis is easier to remember
using nano instead of vim in steps since working with vim is awkward if you don't do it often

##Reasons to want OpsWorks

can finally do machine config without adding things (.ebextensions) to our app
config recipes can finally be SHARED! no more duplicate scripts in consumer-domain and cb-mobile
scheduled instances

chef 11.10 - nice and recent, and gets updates!
berkshelf built in - it's like Bundler for chef cookbooks
- so many good public cookbooks to take advantage of!
now that it works we could save some time with this

	class Relation

	directionality = direction.to_s.upcase
	directionality = directionality.in?(%w[ASC DESC]) ? ",#{directionality}" : ""

	@crdb_force_index = "FORCE_INDEX=#{index_name}#{directionality}"
	compiled_index_hint_text

	# in Gemfile
	gem 'rack-timeout', '~> 0.4'

	# add a throwaway controller for testing
	class WaitController < ApplicationController
	def index
	sleep 20
	render plain: 'lol we waited 20 seconds'
	end

	memory plan:
	============

	- SSH to server
	- add rbtrace (require: false) to gemfile, bundle install
	- change passenger to only run 1 instance (via json config file)
	- add this to before filter in applicaton_controller.rb:
	require 'rbtrace'
	- add this to application.rb:
	require 'objspace'
