First of all I did a:

capify .

And used this deploy.rb

Then to setup the current, releases, etc. directories:

cap deploy:setup

Then, when I tried to login via ssh with shared key: nothing! After some searching I found out that capistrano messed...

I’ve created a little merb app for a customer. The reason I chose merb because I really like the :provides-api. The app had to generate a lot of xml, so using Merb was really nice.

But the installation on the server was a little troublesome. I had...

Ah, time for my yearrly recurring troubles with my Brother HL2030. Very nice printer. But the driver support under Linux is terrible. Yes, brother released some (crapy) closed source drivers for Linux. But in my opinion that’s even worse than no drivers...

Ik heb twee hele lieve ratjes maar ze knagen alle losliggende kabels door :( Nu was de Wii aan de beurt. Bijna alles weggewerkt of draadloos. Behalve de sensor bar natuurlijk. En ja hoor, die hadden ze te pakken genomen (op twee plekken zelfs). Dus...

Just some quick links!

• Bugzilla

• Fogbugz

• Trac

Especially Sifter looks really nice! But… it isn’t open source...

Today I’ve installed Phusion passenger on one of our servers. I wanted Redmine for one of our projects so this seemede a nice opportunity to install it.

Installation was a breeze. For mod_rails as well Redmine.

So I was thinking: we have mod_rails...

I was reading a nice article on Ruby on Rails flesh messages. It linked to an article about styling message boxes with css.

I’m a real sucker for nice message boxes. If you are too: this is a must-read.

Don’t!

I first wondered why Ubuntu chose KVM instead of Xen. Well, now I now: because it’s a piece of crap. Well, maybe not Xen, but definitely the products that claim to “support” Xen.

I tried Ubuntu (error in virt-install), Debian Lenny (doesn...
