Happy Birthday to me!
The actual anniversary was last week but I was in the Redneck Riviera on vacation.
My blog turning one is much less exciting than everything that’s happened since I started it. A year ago being an ActionScript developer on Rails was a lonely and frustrating time (so frustrating that my first post was about installing Django). A year ago stable Rails hosting was hard to find, there was no Ruby AMF implementation, and no Flex Builder for OS X. Now you can get solid and affordable Rails hosting with Media Temple (shared) or Slicehost (VPS), two flavors of AMF for Ruby, and Apple users are no longer second class Flex citizens.
The only downside so far has been when I Google something and one of my posts comes up first – great, I’m the “expert” on the problem I can’t fix. That’s a rare occasion though, I usually find the answer from one of the folks listed on the right (thanks!).
PS If by chance you go on vacation and turn your DSL modem off, the reason you can’t get into any of your servers is that your IP address has changed and now conflicts with your iptables firewall settings. Have I plugged Slicehost yet? Their emergency console rocks!
