EYEHEARTZOMBIES

It’s less than a month away from NaNoWriMo and I still have a lot to do. And I don’t just mean for my novel, which is going to be about zombies (you’d neve have guessed that, huh?) this year. I’m trying to get an a new online application up and running for it.

It’s not a commercial app and it’s not anything important or special, just a little something to help those of us who have literary pursuits. I built it over the last couple of days (it’s not complete by any means, but it’s a viable alpha/beta) in Ruby on Rails. Oh, by the way, if you’re developing in Rails on OS X, you need Locomotive. It makes launching and managing your Rails application infinitely easier.

Anyway, I’ve built it and it’s running fine here, but here doesn’t do anyone out there any good. Right now it uses as PostreSQL database, but thanks to Rails and Migrations, it can easily go to whatever system I end up putting it on. The only strange requirment is the acts_as_taggable gem. It lets me do nifty folksonomy-type things. Those things, by the way, won’t be in the app until next week, probably.

So, anywho, if you have a bit of spare space on your Rails-enabled host you can lend me, I’d be most appreciative. Or you could donate to the DropCash donation page if you want to fund my goal of putting this up on DreamHost.
