Blog Relaunch

So, after the past version of the blog (which looked much the same), I decided to take the time to entirely rewrite the platform from scratch using Rails 2.0. And here it is, Eoraptor Generation 2

So, what is Eoraptor?

In essence, It's a tiny blog platform I wrote with Rails to get a feeling for 2.0. Everything is self contained and the UI is built with the idea that integration is everything - the admin UI is a part of the blog interface and it's really all about publishing it and it's done. Nothing more, nothing less.

Anyway, thats enough for the moment - check back soon for both some old comment, some new comment and a few of the trick's I've implement.

b0rked images

So I made it big mistake tonight. It wasn't on purpose - far from it in fact. I was editing the deploy.rb I use to put it on this blog (thank god for Capistrano) to upload some small admin-side fixes. I decided to also make a small change that would make the symbolic linking process for image directories work. Except, I got the wrong directory. I accidentally typed in the shortcut / variable for the actual (non linked) directory to the rm part of the routine. And so, now they're gone. You'll have to just ignore the lack of images for the moment till sometime after the twelfth when I can restore them.

General Update

Yet another of my general "oh this is whats going on" updates. First up, we've got my latest work for WhyGoSolo - we finally added search, even if it's in the very basics still. See the small screenshot below or log in and check it out in the uppermost nav, near where the link to your own profile is.

And I'm Back...

I've been quite lazy with the whole blogging thing recently - mainly because University has kept me bloody busy but also because most of the stuff I was working on was either assignment / exam related (which is over now) or because it's been under wraps. First off, you can expect some more posts in the coming weeks - there's a lot of exciting stuff going on and I've finally fixed a bug in Eoraptor that had been there for a few weeks that prevented me from posting posts.
