When MarsEdit 2 was released I decided I wanted to try blogging using a client app instead of Mephisto's web interface. However, when I tried connecting to Mephisto using XML-RPC I kept getting errors. This eventually led me to upgrade to the edge version of Mephisto which requires edge rails and while I was at it I also switched to Capistrano 2.1.

Because I'm nowhere near being a Ruby or Rails guru the whole process took me longer than it should have. All the effort was worth it, though, when I was able to make changes on my dev machine and then type 'cap deploy' and have it magically appear on the server hosting this blog. That is truly living the dream.

My goal is to write more frequently and chronicle some of the things I'm tinkering with in my spare time. I also plan on writing up my thoughts on software that I try out, like MarsEdit 2, for instance.
