To the Cloud!

January 16, 2013

Soon after I got CarrierWave working, I realized that local file storage sucks. So, I moved things to the cloud with the cloudfiles gem! It worked seemlessly and wonderfully! I’m so glad I’m not still on Java…

And now, the next thing I need to do is to figure out a way to upload new files using an iPhone… iOS app anyone?

Maybe next month. I have a lot of other stuff going on. The REAL next thing is getting multiple images attached to a post. Database migration time…

And now, to prove that this works from the cloud, a bit of my work space!
