Excitement about no funds

Posted by matt, Thu Mar 27 01:53:00 UTC 2008

At the moment I'm still getting excited daily about the ways in which God provides and the ways in which he does. To know that it is by his grace that we live, eat and are merry is phenomenal. To know that the sun rises and the sun sets by his will is amazing.

But what does that have to do with Reformed Software? It is that by the grace of the same God that work progresses. That despite having no funds I still work and enjoy every moment of it in full confidence. Does this mean that it is guaranteed success? By no means! I'm but conveying my joy in the work and knowing that God is in control of the finer details which are beyond my control. Am I able to make the sun rise or even set? No, but I know that the God who is does.

So, back to the matters at hand. Though I enjoy every moment that I work for Reformed Software, I know that without funds there will come a day that I must remove the glasses and hand the code over to someone else. So I ask for investment. If you are wanting to invest in the work of a group of people who's very drive is "writing software to glorify Jesus as Lord and Savior" then I would like to hear from you. I can be contacted via matt _at_ reformedsoftware _dot_ com.

With regards to development, a lot of work has been going into fine tuning the process of how the beta testing is going to be run. This will hopefully occur during the next couple of months along with a lot of improvements on the web front.

 

God bless,

Matt.

Dealing with Ruby Environments

Posted by matt, Thu Dec 06 07:12:00 UTC 2007

So I have started to get into working on this site as well as starting to do a bit more development work and I realised that this site is running particularly slow. The next few blog posts will be in relation to configuring ruby sites for use on web servers.

This first one is to do with setting the correct ruby environment. This is done by setting the correct ruby environment variable into the config/environment.rb file with the following line.

ENV['RAILS_ENV'] ||= 'production'

After this, you will need to restart the webserver application or by killing all of the dispatch.fcgi processes.

 

God bless,

Matt.
