The Rumble is Over 816
I finished.... I had a lot less time than I thought I would this weekend. Between having to go out of town and my 1 year old son, only caught about 6 hours of coding. (part of that was setting up the server too)
The Idea
The idea is that there are many social networking sites, but no common link between them. My Social Buddy can be the middleman between them. You manually add friends and then add links to their multiple accounts. So your friend Steve has a Facebook account, and a MySpace account, so you add Steve as a friend. Then add a link to Steve called Facebook and another link to Steve called MySpace. Each point to the profile of Steve on each site. The site is not flashy but does the job.
I have even started to use as somewhat of a bookmarking system for myself too.
Check it out. I am going to move it from the competition servers at the end of this month to my slicehost.com account. So you will be able to use this even when then voting of the competition is over.
Don't forget to vote for me!

Are You Ready To RUUUUUMMMMBBBBLLEE
Cause you know I am. I am excited to enter this competition. I know I don't have a chance at winning because I found out that I am going to be gone for part of the weekend. But my idea is not a very complex one and I think I can have a simple site done in time.
Stay Tuned for more details!.....

FiveRuns™ – Management Suite for Rails – RM-Install 9
RM-Install
Now this is great to see. I would have liked to see this a month ago when I was trying to install imagemagick and rmagick. I swear I followed I don't know how many blogs and wikis and some how it finally worked. But FiveRuns has put it all in one nice package. It is only for OS X Intel and Linux but they are going to have others OS instances to follow. But they hit all of my needs. Thanks FiveRuns.

Setting up Typo on a Site5 server 2750
First I will say that this might be out of date before anyone reads it but I thought I would atleast put it up and if it helps great.
1. Check Out
At the users home directory checkout the subversion (svn) repository from the typosphere.org site. The last parameter is the directory that will be created, you can change this as you wish.
svn checkout http://svn.typosphere.org/typo/trunk typo
2. Config
Goto my.site5.com and setup the database. The database will endup to be 'username'name Create the user for the database, same applies 'username'name (site5 sucks like that). Now you have to grant permissions for that user on the created database in the site5 web gui. Edit the database config file to contain the users and databases you created.
cd typo
cp database.yml.example database.yml
vi database.yml
3. Populate Database
The following command will connect to the production database and update the tables to contain all the typo stuff
rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
4. Wrap Up
Uncomment the line following line from config/environment.rb
ENV['RAILS_ENV'] = 'production'
Create the symbolic link to your typo instance.
ln -s ~/typo/public ~/public_html
5. Finish
Goto the url of your website and it will ask you to sign up, and you are done
