I have not fallen off the face of the earth (just moved to Hawaii since my last post), I have also been coding like a mad man on a new addition to my CWOL.TV (Championship Wrestling Online) web site.

The new addition is a fantasy wrestling component that allows one to start a career and build it. It is a time based game that doesn’t stop. As one progresses in levels, they earn the opportunity to gain more wrestling moves, holdings (items that earn one income) and the ability to fight harder matches.

So, for the past couple of months I have been cranking out the code.

Now for the great news. The past few launches of web sites have been a pain to say the least. I blasted Site5 on more than one occasion. THAT HAS CHANGED!! Site5 has really stepped up their game with regard to rails hosting.

This was by far the easiest update I have ever done.

I do not say that lightly. The previous version of the site was still running on Rails 1.2. (What a difference 7 months can make).

The latest iteration of the site was a complete upgrade in development to Rails 2.3.2.

It was a seamless setup. I had to kill the old directory and start all over. Needless to say, it works great. I have been tailing the production log file to hopefully see the first person to come to the site since the launch. I hope this is what will put me over with regard to 1000 unique visitors in one month.

Here is to hoping.
