Believe me, I am a Web designer. The reason why this page looks so odd is because you're viewing it in a browser that doesn't support Cascading Style Sheet positioning. It doesn't work in particularly old browsers. However, if you scroll down, you'll find all my content. Don't let this site fool you, I've designed plenty of sites that work in older browsers, this was just my first step towards what is the future of Web design.

Dreamhost has Rails, Fastcgi

Saturday | June 18, 2005 | 1:56 pm  

Hooray!

Dreamhost now supports Rails and FastCGI.

Now, other than this blog, I’m normally a TextDrive kind of person, but Erica’s school signed a contract with Dreamhost.

I probably should have advised them to sign up with TextDrive, but at the time I hadn’t used them that long and Dreamhost was a known quantity that I’d feel safe in recommending.

Plus, at the time, the school was just looking for cheap hosting for their mostly static with a wee bit o’ PHP site — which Dreamhost is fine for.

But subsequently, they’ve been looking to do more and more and more with their Web site, and in hindsight, I’ve been wishing that I’d sent them to TextDrive because of their great support for developer-friendly technologies.

But now that Dreamhost has Rails, I can help them build some great apps (in my spare time, ha ha), until they can make a move to TextDrive.
