After a bit of struggle, I finally got capistrano deployments working for this site! Finally, I don’t have to do all the git branch management, config file management and server bounces manually. All of that is wrapped in one command!

I have also made a fair amount of progress on rails and am finally getting to the point where I can actually build new ideas without running into major hangups with configuration. Sure, I need to work on my models, my table associations, and how to tiptoe around rails CRUD operators and resource based routing… But all of that is relatively sane compared to the other web frameworks I’ve used (Java).

But, now that I’m working towards that level of sanity, those little things start frustrating me because I don’t understand them well enough. So I’ll probably spend a fair amount of time trying to clean up the code for this site then actually working on new projects… but when has that not been the case!?

Oh well. It’s all just for fun anyways. The next thing I really should work on is a WYSIWYG markdown input field for these posts…
