Trying to sort the brilliant ideas from the lesser ones.

Simplelog dies because of RedCloth

Posted by Jesse Rodgers on December 04, 2008 at 10:55 PM

No idea why it took until the other day for it to happen but my blog just shut down and all I got was an error in my mongrel.log that suggested an error with the RedCloth Gem. I could have sworn the gems were frozen on my running version of Simplelog but I guess they aren’t. My fix was to comment out the calling of RedCloth gem in my text_helper.rb. This isn’t ideal but it got me up and running again. A friend with the same problem will likely find a better solution. I do wish someone would start working on Simplelog again… such a great little app.

Moving servers: done

I have moved my blog over from Textdrive to Joyent. Probably the most difficult part was the Joyent wiki. It has a load of useful, well written information that is easy to follow. But if you don’t watch what is in the URL you might be reading help files for the wrong hosting. Not a big deal unless you are bad at reading instructions like me.

I did stay with Simplelog even though it hasn’t been updated in over a year. It suits my needs and I just don’t want to bother converting over to WordPress or back to textpattern.

Not an overly difficult task for a windy/rainy long weekend Sunday.
