BrightBox Hosting

Posted by stoyan

Thanks to Jeremy Jarvis i received a Brightbox beta account . I’m tring to blog about my experience on http://blog.bbox.selfip.net/ . Not sure how long I can keep that accounts, so maybe the blog will become unavailable soon. Still there was a good way to try the new Restolog version – multiuser, multiply blogs per user.

There was interesting benchmark – apache2, nginx and litespeed on the VPS account (256MB RAM):

All servers perform pretty much the same, but for VPS with not so much memory, Litespeed seems the best option.

Restolog-1.2 (beta1)

Posted by stoyan

Created a first beta version of Restolog-1.2 . What’s new in it:
  • Textile markup for articles body (act_as_textiled plugin)
  • REST client (‘script/rester’)
  • New REST API calls added (mostly for articles and comments)
  • Some documentation (README, USAGE, CHANGELOG)
Download:
  • tarballs: restolog-1.2b1.tgz
  • SVN: svn checkout http://restolog.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ restolog
Why it is still beta?
  • update via XML still do not work
  • authentication via keys inside the URL still not possible (Basic Authentication for now)

And by request from Benjamin there is pretty detailed Restolog USAGE file included. Enjoy

Restolog - RESTful blog example

Posted by stoyan

I modified a little the original Alisdair McDiarmid’s RestBlog sources and created very simple blog system . Made an announce to the Rails ML. The copy of it follows:

Very simple blog system based on REST/CRUD ideas. Sources (all credits going to the authors, i just combined their work):

The purpose is mostly proof of concept, not typo/mephisto etc. competition.
