My apologies to those of you looking content in the website, like some of the scripts and screencasts. The website was compromised and I had to take it offline for a few days. Some links will still be broken, but will be corrected soon.

Long time, no posts

I’ve been actively setting up the site for the new service company I’m starting: 8020world.com, so posting here on my personal site has been scarce.

During the setup of the fulfillment portion of the new site, I found good instructions on valibuk.net that saved me some time, as they match exactly my setup: Rails, Capistrano, Mongrel and Apache (with SSL) on Gentoo. Thanks!

We’ll see how much I’ll be able to maintain the two sites, or if this one will fold into the corporate blog

This site (a hosting company in Brazil) has some interesting ideas I’d like to look into with more detail. One is the floating support ribbon (top right), which seems inobtrusive but effective to keep information handy for the site users. Not to overuse, of course, but for something like that “click me if you need anything” may be a good user interface.
