Update Your Dev ThinkUp Installation

ThinkUp is under rapid development right now, so files change fast. If you used git clone git://github.com/ginatrapani/ThinkUp.git to get ThinkUp files initially, use git pull origin master to get updates.

If there's been a database migration since the last time you built your database (check the db_migrations folder), run the SQL script against your database to update it.
