Camping

I whipped up my own replacement to "my blosxom" tonight using camping. It was fun and frustrating, as it always is when working with both ruby and html. It's a little slow, unfortunately, I'll have to profile where the time is. I hope I won't have to run yet another FastCGI process, I don't have the RAM for that. Hopefully some filesystem and pagination optimizations will do the trick.

Pagination was the whole point of moving away from what was already working, and a desire to escape from school and work for just a bit and do something pointless. Learning camping seemed good, because it can be even easier to whip up something small in camping than in rails.

Yeah, it's not exactly working yet. e.g. permalinks and category links don't work. I'll get to it.

Update: After sleeping on it I switched back to blosxom until I get the time to polish up the camping version.
