Tracks::GTD who's using it?

I came to read this forum to get ideas before starting a Ruby on Rails (a web development system) project to do 43 folders.

I found in nearly the last post I read a reference to Tracks::GTD (http://www.rousette.org.uk/projects/).

Being a Ruby on Rails app, you can just install Ruby, then Rails on your computer (Windows, Linux, OSX...) and in a few minutes have Tracks running.

It looks good to me so far.

Who else is using it? any comments or pointers?

The 1.041 upgrade improved my "cold start" time alot, from a minute to 20 secs, dont know if this is Tracks or Rails specific (as they upgraded to 1.1 in this release). If your running FCGI then it can take a while to startup (as it has to run the inital process), if you want a quicker startup time you can sacrifice overall preformance by changing to normal cgi mode.

FWIW I use Typo, which is weblogging software written on Rails, for http://kvet.ch/ .
I am running on OS X Server and using Apache and FastCGI and have *zero* complaints even when it was getting hammered off and on for a few days straight.

I got del.icio.us'ed. Heh.

But fastcgi held up remarkably well with minimal tuning. I'm currently using:

-idle-timeout 220 -initial-env RAILS_ENV=production -processes 2

And it seems to be a good mix.

My I/O isn't so hot (ata over firewire) but this seems to be a good fit.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
