Awesome, I’ve been looking forward to it’s launch for some time now. I’m a very happy joyent/textdrive customer and I’m itching to snatch up the railsbase goodness.

It’d be great if you could keep us posted on it on the Textdrive forum.

Cheers.

Paul: It’s just that Railsbase isn’t going to be a separate thing, the entire hosting setup has to allow people to scale from very small to very big and perhaps back again (and it has to do this on demand, at a great price—meaning cheaper than doing it yourself—and it has to be always up).

And that applies to Rails and Ruby, PHP, Python and say even erlang applications.

A process is a process is a process and the questions are how to distribute them, monitor them and provide a solid QoS from the process level all the way up to the user’s experience when using a web application.

So no it’s not vapourware, in fact, it currently permeates everything.

Oh, man, now you’re making me miss SF The key is to order the eggs over easy so you can pierce the yolks and let them run over everything else…

Any news on Railbase? Has this officially become vapourware?

Server(?) real ale.

Comes off the fingers too easily.

Simon: oh it isn’t. Simply stated they’re the only place that serves it. They also don’t server real ale in this country.

And let me know when you’re in town, always happy to have people swing by.

Okay, this is something that someone from Ireland just doesn’t understand. Where is the universe in which Smithwicks became a premium beer? In Dublin, it’s only drank by people who don’t like real ale.

And a mixed grill should only ever be accompanies by a strong pot of tae.

Still, I’ll be in SF in a fortnight and a proper breakfast is always worth a visit…

Amen to that. How was that black pudding by the way? And I’m sure you washed it down with Smithwicks? I am envious.

Is this what has fueled your 5 posts today??
