My main website languishes, having no significant updates in over a decade. I repeatedly give up on my attempts at building even simple new games. And now even this crappy blog goes nearly two years without any updates. Why? Because I’m pretty much in an abyss of hellish real-life stressy balls of shit. A huge part of my lack of motivation (I think) is my day job. Continue reading “I’m not dead! Sadly, neither is Rails…”

This is one of many reasons I’m wishing for a nice C++ project to play with… but that’s another topic for another day…. Continue reading “Automated testing saves the day”
mod_rails (Phusion Passenger) Second Impressions

It should be noted first and foremost that all of my problems setting up Passenger appear to indeed be my own fault.
So why no follow-up until just now? The thing has been running for around six weeks and I’ve yet to talk about it since that initial setup. Did I give up on it and go back to mongrel?
