+Handy trick: use the command 'gem_server' from a shell to create a server at 
+http://localhost:8008 that is an easy to navigate locally-hosted website with 
+all the documentation on local gems you have in a easy to read format.
+
+jlsharps: I added the Gruff plug-in today, which is viewable under the folder
+vender/plugins/gruff.  I installed it directly using the Gruff plug-in and
+included controller generate utility. The version 0.1.2, which doesn't seem to
+be the latest version. I've looked into it and it see and it seems that the
+latest version is 0.2.8. However, I wasn't sure how including a gem w/o a plugin 
+would function in end-game rails so I just what I used for now. If you guys 
+(mako of john) know how to do it, it'd probably be better to upgrade, but it 
+didn't seem like the best use of my time right now.  I got the plug-in here:
+http://topfunky.net/svn/plugins/gruff. You can get the gruff gem v 0.2.8 by 
+typing "sudo gem install gruff", I believe it's also hosted on RubyForge. 
+
+I created the GraphsController for Gruff methods to use. In Pollarize I put them 
+in the ApplicationContorller file, so they would be accessible to all. While 
+that it also an option here, it would also mean there wouldn't be much room for 
+playing around because everything in the Application file has to be perfect or 
+it seems to throw Error Code 500 (basically everything breaks). The show() 
+is a sample sample provided with Gruff. 
+
+Documentation is here:http://gruff.rubyforge.org/  Alternately, if you have the 
+gem installed, you can use the ri command, or the above mentioned gem_server. 
+
+If you guys want more helpful stuff here, let me know.
