This site has been down for quite a while. (What a tragedy.) Previously, I had a hand built site made with Python, a little PHP, and AJAX (to fetch page content). It was kind of ugly and gray. I decided to build a new site with Ruby on Rails to get a feel for it. That went pretty well, but I had some problems1 with the hosting company I wanted to deploy the RoR site to. I canceled that account and my site went away with it.
I figure having a Web site is a Good Thing for various reasons, so I’m firing this thing back up. I’m keeping it simple this time and using Mephisto instead of trying to roll my own2.
1 Postgres didn’t work so well with their VPS solution, the FreeBSD 6.1 jail. It kept flaking out with some obscure error about semaphores or some such.
2 I was going to use WordPress, but WebFaction makes it so easy to set up and deploy a Rails app that I decided to try Mephisto instead.
