Welcome to the new site!

Welcome! I have finally come to my senses and completed the blog project that I have been working on for months. If you're interested in knowing more about it then read on.

The blog is created with Ruby on Rails(2.3.6) and being currently hosted on Heroku. Which I have spoken about Heroku on the old blog.

My blog project was on hiatus for some time till now since I have a lot of free time now. So I will be written a lot more :) .

I might release the code on Github if people want it. The code is really basic just very customized for a minimal purpose. I was starting to get sick of wordpress having me update something EVERYDAY ... come on software shouldn't be a pain in the ass to use.

I have setup the blog to be pretty minimalistic. There is a VERY simple admin panel which requires a username and password. I decided to use HttpAuth instead of a full blown authentication system because a system like that is a complete waste of time and resources for one user. Currently just posting everything in basic html, might switch to textile or markdown. I am still thinking which one would be easier.

This is what I am using on the site currently:

• Blueprint CSS Framework
• JQuery
• Ruby on Rails --version 2.3.5
• will_paginate
• friendly_id --version 2.2.7
• coderay
• rack-codehighlighter

I am not done with the code, it still needs work. I started writing test code for it with cucumber but once I added the admin section everything went to hell and I decided to skip the testing for right now on this one project since it's a personal one. I am planning to write testing for it though just because this is unfinished and adding a new feature could easily bork it.
