Honey Brown

I went to Pub 1905 tonight after work to return GoW2 to Colin, and to have a couple beers. Ran into David there as well. Amidst yet another debate on religion, I decided to be antisocial and broke out my laptop. I have been wanting to make the switch from slicehost to rackspace cloud for awhile now and the dawn of a new project seems a reasonable time to make the switch. I setup a new server on rackspace and named it honeybrown in honor of my surroundings.

A couple of beers and a burger later I found myself at ENTS configuring the new server. I’ve been doing some reading lately and for my purposes Phusion Passenger and Ruby Enterprise Edition seem an excellent way to reduce my memory footprint (always the sticking point for me with a 256MB VPS). I managed to get both configured with very few obstacles, many points to the Phusion guys for providing amazing installers. I updated my rails versions, setup a git repository through Project Locker, and generated a basic rails app. Project Chronos now officially exists, albeit as just the default rails stub.

Tomorrow I hope to dig into actually getting some development done.

    Good Site on Cloud Computing and SaaS – We are periodically looking for good blog information
    related to Rackspace Cloud. Also we are looking for contributors to add value to our blog.

    Keep up the good work!

    Thanks
