I'm back!

Yes, well, it took somewhat longer to get moved and get a new, decent, Internet connection installed than I had planned. And then there was a long while spent getting the darned router configured correctly; I'm still not 100% happy (I prefer not to have to do port forwarding if I can help it), but I'll live. This site probably isn't visible to everyone yet, due to DNS propagation delays, but at least some of you lucky (?) folks can see it now.

Anyhow, I'm still here, though "here" has changed to Newburgh, Indiana (just east of Evansville). And I'm still making my living off of non-Microsoft computer alternatives, primarily Ruby on Rails development. Now that I have this soapbox again, I'll go back to keeping track of useful links.

  • Allow a different local and remote subversion repository path for Capistrano - This one came in handy for me last night, as I had to deploy past a firewall that is now enforcing just such a requirement on me (at least, I haven't yet figured out how to get the internal NAT'ted addresses to see the external port-forwarded address for the Subversion server). Remember to require /lib/tasks/patch_capistrano.rb in your deployment recipe if you use this. Or you could just upgrade to Capistrano 2.0, but I haven't had time to climb that hill yet.

  • Sinatra: Classy web-development dressed in a DSL - Yet another quick way to bang together those web applications.
