New blog theme: you shouldn’t care
Are you really coming to to read my blog directly? That's a shame, because more often than not lately, you've either seen no updates for weeks at a time, or better yet the 500 Service unavailable error page.
The error was thanks to my server host's ( overly severe resource enforcement bots killing my blog processes with extreme prejudice. Textdrive is a proud sponsor of the Ruby and Ruby on Rails communities... however their server setups making hosting non-static content (i.e. Ruby on Rails) a particularly trying experience. The worst was trying to migrate my database schema to sync with a small update to my blog software. Again the resource bots would pounce on my scripts killing them mid-process (after only like 30 seconds!) leaving me with a junk database. I complained, but was told to just do the migration on my own PC, and upload the results. Hey, thanks a lot.
Back from sidetrack: You really should be reading via a blog reader. I think Google Reader is the best. By subscribing to the feed you don't have to come back here and be disappointed when there's nothing new. When new posts are posted, you'll see them...
But if you must visit directly, at least I prettied-up the site last night. Enjoy.
