captured sparks

This inaugural post comes after several days of arguing with Ubuntu, Apache and Mongrel.

This site is hosted on a 256 slice from Slicehost and I’ve learnt a lot about Apache configuration, working with Linux and am now intimately familiar with the command line.

During the process, I’ve been helped by a significant number of resources that are out there and I intend to run a series of posts on how I got this site up and running in the hope that I may stand on the shoulders of giants and provide some insight of my own.

As a side note, you might have seen that this site is running on “sparky”. This is a custom built CMS coded in Rails that is very much in version 0.1. I’ll be doing some posts on its development as well as walking through some features as I add them.
