Launch

Welcome to your new favorite photoblog.
Note: After a redesign effort in 2009, this site is no longer powered with Ruby on Rails.
After months in development, it is finally D-day, which in the web app world I now understand as “Deployment-day”. It’s been a long road to get to this point, although I’m very happy to finally have a site functional enough to share. This photoblog was custom built with Ruby on Rails. Building my new site in a web framework like Rails was suggested to me through talks with a web developer friend, because of some custom functionality I envisioned. In addition to this site, I also have a created what I like to call a “Flickr mirror”, which is a copy of the content of this site added to my Flickr account (level9ganon) dynamically. This is done via some custom programming built-in to my site’s admin section.
To start this site off, I’ve added a small group of some favorite recent photos. I want this site to be forward looking and expanding, so I have decided against backfilling it with a lot of old photos. Please check back for new entries, and/or subscribe to my RSS feed.
