I make my living, and run my entire company, on Rails, and it has been the underpinning of my career. I’ve sold every client I’ve ever had on the virtues of rapid, agile development and the insane community involvement of the Rails platform. I’ve watched DHH with ‘interest’ and admired most of the things he has to say. I’ve watched other platforms spring up to compete and enjoyed the competition between them. I stumbled across Why’s guide, I absorbed books by Pragmatic Press, watched Peepcode tutorials, Railscasts, subscribed to Codeschool, and felt a part of the industry which formed around this new style of development. Design played a bigger part not just in the websites we made, but the development tools we used. Even our API documentation appeared to breathe life.
Development felt cool, and this was a big deal given the culture we were used to.

Had a blog hosted on an ISPConfig3, Nginx, MySQL, PHP platform on Debian mini and by ERROR 40 deleted my blog… bad mistake… Honest mistake and I’m a real man, so no offsite backup was to be found, no joke.
The guide followed when the VPS was set-up can be seen here.
The error was plausible to happen a some point, but frustrating to have my blog site gone, after the time invested. Everything for the learning experience, I guess. Sigh.
Next. Install ISPConfig3 with Apache, MySQL/MariaDB, dovecut and PHP and see how that goes.
