Ok, it seems that Typo's Flickr plugin was working well, but slowly leaking memory. That resulted in my hosting provider contacting me and asking me to fix the problem.
I "solved" the problem by removing the plugin from the page's layout as I don't have any time to fix this right now. The world can do without my flickr sidebar!

So I spend the better of the last few hours upgrading Typo. I now have a custom gem-based Typo install instead of the default Site5 install, which means that I now have the latest version of Typo.
Everything should be running relatively smoothly now. Please notice that I managed to get the Flickr sidebar feed running properly.
Woot.

I finally decided to subscribe to Flickr for a number of reasons, one of which is that I wanted to order some Moo MiniCards.
I've been wanting to get some business cards done for almost who years now, but never settled on a design. When Simon Law handed me one of his Moo MiniCards at the Montreal DemoCamp2, I was convinced that that was the way to go.
The Moo cards might not be suitable for the corporate world, which is fine since I'm trying to steer clear from the I-wear-a-suit-and-tie population in general. On a plus side, if I get a weird look when I give one out to someone, I know I do not want to do business with that person. If someone judges you by the size of your business card, you definitely don't want to deal with him. Anyways, I don't.
End rant.
Having a Flickr account, I went on to add a feed of my pictures to my blog's sidebar. Turns out that the version of Typo which I used (Site5's generic blog installer) isn't compatible with the Flickr feeds' current format. I'll try to remedy this over the weekend if I can get to squeeze some "me" time out if it.

First post!
Welcome to JP on Rails. This blog is about what I do for a living: software development. It's powered by Typo, a Ruby on Rails based blogging engine and hosted on Site5.
I chose Typo because it's simple and elegant and because it's based on Ruby on Rails. Since I'll be using this site, as its name implies it, as a vehicle to discuss my experiences with the Rails framework, I decided to use a tool that's built on that technology.
Although many posts will concern Rails, I'll also share my thoughts on a variety of subjects, such as development methology, problem solving, creativity, productivity, technology and the Internet.
So, without further ado, let's get this ball rolling. Enjoy.
