About a month ago my Mephisto powered blog conked out. Thankfully as it cached the content it was all still available, but I could no longer log in. It transpired my hosting company (Dreamhost) updated the version of Rails to 2.1.1 and Mephisto only works on 2.0.2. They say they told me (I don’t have any record), but I could “freeze” the version my site runs on retrospectively. After a week or so of dispairing evenings battling to get something running again (incuding reinstalling Mephisto completely) I admitted defeat and have finished my experiment with Rails (although I’m still using Ruby along with Cucumber and RSpec at work). I feel that whilst Rails may be an exciting new framework for delivering web apps it’s a bit flakey. Whilst looking for help online it seems this versioning thing is a common problem
Anyway, now I’m on WordPress (damn it was so easy). I’ve not moved any comments over and some links may not work until I get a chance to sort them out.
The good news is the erratic splurge of posts coming through to Google Reader users should no longer be an issue but please update your feed to the following:
