Yet another quick update about Ruby on Rails; I managed to get it working with Apache2 and CGI, albiet it is a touch pokey but functional so I am another step closer to making it available. On my list of things to-do is rebuild the SRD database which was lost in the great database crash of November and flesh out the CSS. The hurdles that I forsee in the future center around the base URLS of the site as RoR likes to be the center of attention and that just is not how things run around here. Hopefully, I can iron that out, though it is more than likely that I’ll need to create a subdomain for the project.

On a related note there looks to be several books coming out this spring to join Agile Web Development with Rails; here’s the results over at Barnes & Noble. Safe to say you can skip the fourth one unless brass jingling is your thing. I’m thinking of grabbing a couple this spring to help give me a boost. I learn best while reading and doing; not so much Googling while doing.
