Well, AppFresh is a great idea but has many, many issues. Not least that the moderator won’t moderate my criticisms. Free speech anyone? Don’t think I’ll bother with this one..

Edit: Why the outburst? It’s just one of those things that bugs me. It’s like saying something to someone’s face and having them completely blank you. And really, it’s a piece of software not a secret government institution - is moderation really necessary beyond curbing spam?

Just a quick apology to anyone who has my blog in their RSS reader. I’ve just switched from Mephisto back to WordPress and in the process of converting all my posts and comments (there is no automated conversion routine, I’ve had to do this by hand; with a little help from Ruby) I’ve made a few mistakes, messed up a few articles, and as a result I’ve been making quite a few edits. So apologies for the noise, please remain seated while we ride out this turbulence.

Why the switch? Well actually a few reasons, but primarily because Mephisto seems to be at a standstill, and besides being a sucker for new features and plugins; I don’t believe that Mephisto can be 100% complete and secure after such a relatively short development period. I haven’t seen a single public update since I installed it (of course I could use -trunk.. at risk of watching my blog fall over every time a breaking change is committed..). That’s maybe 8+ months without a public release. So whether you agree with my reasons or not (I got flamed on #rubyonrails a couple of times for mentioning I may switch..), there it is. I’ve switched. So stick that in your console and compile it :-P
