Road Trip Eve – RailsConf 2009 Las Vegas, NV

in Daily

Tomorrow I’ll be driving down to Las Vegas for the 2009 RailsConf.

I’m looking forward to more opportunities to evangelize Solo to the masses. Also, it will be great to get together with other Engine Yard peeps and put the name, voice, IRC nick, etc… to the face.

2nd Post

in Daily

Got so busy today I didn’t take time to do my second post.

And I didn’t set up a specific time to do it. So my goal suffered.

But now I’m getting on and doing it. So that’s good.

More to come. And soon, even something about film or programming.

By the way I’m watching Kill Bill while I write this.

In order to re-ignite this blog and make it more useful I’m going to try and write a post a day.

This counts. See you tomorrow. Eventually these will have some good stuff in them too.

Beginner Capistrano FAQ Incoming

in Programming

Being the documentation co-ordinator for Capistrano definitely has it’s privledges. I get to hold my head up high and say “we’re working on it!” when some says something derogatory about the documentation.

Or like today. Jamis sent me the transcript from yesterday’s online tutorial session. I’m only 25% through it and I’ve begun to draft 3 FAQs for the following topics:

  • What are the command line help options?
  • How do I manage my production database.yml file?
  • What does deploy:setup do?

We are working on the best, long-term place for the FAQ and other documentation to live. When we announce what our solution will be it will come from http://capify.org/news first. So just point your RSS reader to the feed, relax and enjoy all the great Capistrano news delivered right to your virtual doorstep!
