Typo 4.0ish
I’ve upgraded this blog to typo 4.0.1(ish). The process was slightly less harrowing than previously as I decided to switch to using svk to manage mirroring the typo trunk. Previously, I had been using subversion vendor branches, but a couple … Continue reading
Blog Buttons
I’ve seen links to “add this to del.icio.us” for some time now. I never use them. It’s a complete waste of time, my links toolbar is perfectly adequate. A couple of months ago, I saw that people started adding more … Continue reading
Typo Upgrade
I’ve finally bit the bullet and upgraded Typo to the trunk, so I can get everything up to Rails 1.1. Unfortunately, this was quite a painful process… Normally, I track bits of software I might want to hack on in … Continue reading
Typo Times Fix

Moved to Typo
After much delay, I’ve finally moved this blog to typo. It’s a good example of running rails in “production” mode. Now I just need to find a good blog editor client. It’d be nice if it supported Textile, which I’ve … Continue reading
FastCGI
I spent a little while yesterday attempting to work out how to get FastCGI installed. Unfortunately, because I’m using Apache 2.2, this wasn’t straightforward. In fact, I’d pretty much given up. Later on, I found this patch on the fastcgi-devel … Continue reading
Blogging Software
It started innocently enough, but as usual turned into yak shaving rather quickly. I wanted to try out some graphical editors for posting to my blog. Sounds simple enough. Except that a while back, I chose wordpress-pg. Its a version … Continue reading
