Mandatory Upgrade

"They might want to replace that one" by Unhindered by Talent

Following the advice of the Rails core team, I have upgraded my server to run Ruby on Rails 1.1.5:

This is not like “sure, I should be flossing my teeth”. This is “yes, I will wear my helmet as I try to go 100mph on a motorcycle through downtown in rush hour”. It’s not a suggestion, it’s a prescription.

Seeing as I’m currently only hosting two rails applications – this blog and Flickrlilli (which was used to source the above image) – I deemed it a fairly safe thing to do. I also took the opportunity to update this blog to Typo edge (revision 1208 to be precise).

Both upgrades were completely painless and had the minimum of downtime which is always a nice thing.
