TDD is so much fun. The tests I made allowed me to redo the whole plugin system and understand what I should do instead. I am pleased with with how the direction is being set and I can’t wait to put this up for you guys.
In the video you’ll see I’m having trouble with requesting a good post after a request done wrong. Everytime a request is a bad one, all the following ones are bad as well, I’m not being able to control it. I appreciate the help you can give, thanks a bunch!

Since I’m doing a presentation on Blogrite at Rubynorte in little more than a week, I won’t put any videos until then. It will build expectation on wether it’s actually working or not. I certainly hope it is by then!
Wish me luck, or even better: help me build something that I hope you might use too.

Hi everyone, I apologize for not saying anything sooner. I’ve got lots of different stuff going on. Watch it and submit your comments, I appreciate it.
Shameless self-promotion: Rubynorte
Rubynorte is the Portuguese Ruby conference a couple of friends and I are putting up. If you’re portuguese, come and join us. Submit a talk if you wish to speak to the community.

The absence of communication has been resounding for a while. I have been thinking about Blogrite, nonetheless. I want to show something in the local Ruby meetup next month.
The million dollar question
Today I went to #git in Freenode, asking for how should I learn git in order to use it as a filesystem and access it remotely via some server using Grit. The somehow arrogant yet most likely right answer I got was: don’t. Well, what should I use then? The same guy didn’t answer me (well, he did: “I don’t know”.) but another guy did.
Why not use Dropbox or Amazon S3?
Actually that is a great idea. Again, my principle is: keep it minimal and lightweight and still easy for geeks to use. Dropbox is definitely easy to use and maintain. You can also version the content with Git; it just won’t be part of my engine.
The million dollar answer
I will use Dropbox as the content database. Git will have to wait. It shall come, but not just yet. This gives me opportunity to create modular adapters later on so I feel confortable with it.

Truth: my blog and I have been apart for a while. Another truth: I’ve been reading more about Ruby. In fact, the more I read, the more I want to. Also, I’ve been growing tired of certain things:
- PHP is not it anymore.
- WordPress or Drupal are top notch. I don’t need top notch; I want to publish content easier and faster.
- I want to learn Ruby the hard way. I want to learn how to test, I want to learn how to build a gem, how to use Rack, all of it. Only then I’ll be more confident enjoying the full power of Ruby.
- I don’t want to depend on a database to publish my content. I never saw that much sense in storing articles inside a relational database column. I love Git and it seems it is capable of storing the content I want.
- I’m sick of 10+ spam comments a day.
My next dare: a git + ruby based blog. So, I’ll be posting several articles on how I’m doing. If possible, I’ll post videos too. I’ll make sure to use Vimeo since it accepts OGG (it seems lighter).
Thanks to the people at the Ruby meetup in March 19th who have motivated me (even without knowing).
