I started writing a blog post on truffle + metamask, but hit a snag where truffle via RPC could send this contract's transactions, but MetaMask couldn't. I'm talking out of the box truffle init dapp not working with Metamask.

The RPC returns to metamask this error:

Error: Error: VM Exception while executing transaction: out of gas(…)

You can trace my footsteps following this draft of the blog post.
