Working with Rails & Postgres

some brief notes on getting Rails and the Postgres SQL database play nice over on the FalsePositives.com blog to :

1. get Postgres to be the default db when you "rails new app_name"
2. fixing if ruby/rails/rake is not finding the Postgres db where it expects to by then creating a virtual link.
3. fixing a “fe_sendauth: no password supplied” error the first time you run a new rails application
