+Spork Tasks
+===========
+Spork is kind of annoying to deal with. I just want it to run in the background and have an easy way to restart, start, and stop it. So here are my tasks for doing that. 
+
+You can copy the rake tasks wherever you like, but I've packaged them as a rails generator
+
+Installing
+----------
+    
+    gem install spork_tasks
+    
+    # If you're using Bundler:
+    gem 'spork_tasks', '~> 1.0.0'
+    
+    rails generate spork_tasks
+    # Copies the rake file for you.
+
+Tasks
+-----
+    rake spork:start
+    # Starts the server
+    
+    rake spork:stop
+    # Stops the server
+    
+    rake spork:restart
+    # Restarts spork
+    
+TODO
+----
+Better process management. Instead of guessing how long to wait (and sleep) for Rails to start, actually wait for it to start before handing the command line back.
