Blog Update

Posted on March 03, 2008

For some time I’ve had problems with the blog. Sure I could make lots of jokes about it being on Rails and unable to scale, but I leave all that as an exercise for the reader. The real issue has been a problem with fcgid crapping out about every four minutes. Well truthfully, almost every time I post an update and cache needs to be invalidated. At any rate I’ve been wanting to give nginx a try and so I finally found the time to test things out and get it running. I’m now running on nginx proxying to a pack of Mongrels. It’s not crashing anymore—so far so good. Let me know if you experience problems.
