Ruby (on Rails)
I've been using Ruby on Rails for a few years, in my spare time, and hope to keep working with it whenever the opportunity arises. A couple of college friends and I created hospitalpages.ie which is was developed using Ruby on Rails, Git and Capistrano for deployment. I also hope to dabble more in pure Ruby scripting, to date I've used it for automating data insertion with MySQL and some file parsing.
Radiant CMS Install
It was not as straightforward as I hoped to install, though this was partially my fault as I initially installed 0.6.9 which was not compatible with the extensions I wanted to install. So I installed the latest version 0.8.0 at the time (don't forget to recreate your database if you do this as opposed to upgrading). Then things appeared to work. Though I noticed I was getting strange behaviour with raw css being displayed not my pages (I chose the roasters option during the install).
I was also getting application errors when using the admin section. It looks like radiant caching was the culprit, I commented out this line in environment.rb "config.middleware.use ::Radiant::Cache" and all is well.
Now I need to figure out how to set up caching so it won't break the rest of the application.
