Full Steam Ahead
Playground Blues is officially on Rails. Approximately two weeks ago I started chugging along and with this new language. Surprisingly it’s been quite welcoming and easy to learn. I only wish it were just as easy to ween clients over to this oasis.
Along with the change of language came some other needed changes. One of them being my move from Textile to Markdown otherwise known as BlueCloth in Rails. Markdown just seemed more natural to the way I type. Another change included a new Flash Photoblog that is built using an asynchronous event model philosophy. I’ve been trying to wrap my mind around this more and I think I’m beginning to understand its major benefits.
Stay tuned. This is an exciting endeavor and I’ve got a lot more tricks up my sleeve.

did glide get combined with jupiter? from the description on the glide page it sorta sounds like it.
Justin
Looks like you’re running Typo, no? Who are you hosting with right now, I’m with Dreamhost and so far all my Rails stuff will not reliably run making it hard to put something into production.

Justin: Actually I’m running a home grown CMS called Glide. My reasoning for building my own was pure curiosity. I’m currently running on Dreamhost without any issues (knock on wood). Are you having speed issues? Are you running in FastCGI mode?
Scott: I’m glad you mentioned that. Got me thinking about Jupiter again ;)

The reason I thought you were running Typo is the way your comment form works (the email/url is optional), it’s exactly like Typo and I hadn’t seen behavior like that until I checked it out (Typo).
I’m having speed/server issues with Typo/Rails. Sometimes my pages load fine and other times it will take forever to load, only to eventually show me an Application error (500). Yes I’m running fcgi, otherwise it would be slower than dirt ;)
That’s neat you’ve got a home grown Rails app already! Damn you’re quick.

Justin: I’ve been reading a lot about that 500 error on the Dreamhost Forums. I’ve fixed it twice and both times I can’t remember what I did. Is your environment (RAILS_ENV) set to ‘Production’?
Justin
Yes it is. I’ve actually tried setting it either way and I don’t notice a change. I’m on the forums over there a lot too. A lot of these Rails errors seem difficult to duplicate and often times miraculously fix themselves (who knows what the server admin people are doing).
I don’t want to bog this thread down with Rails troubleshooting, not to mention my app is running smooth now :)

Wow, you sure are quick with picking up Rails. Congratulations on brewing your own Rails CMS. Any chance you mind release that beast so hopeless chaps like myself can take a peek under its hood?
