Quick Update - Blog feed has MOVED!
Just a short note to mention that I have moved the RSS feed for this blog to FeedBurner.
The original feeds should redirect to Feedburner and hopefully you won’t notice any difference. Drop me a comment if you experience any problems.
Typo 4 Upgrade
Finally got round to upgrading to Typo 4 (you may have noticed the theme changed again).
Initially I had a problem with the new Typo gem (installing on a Debian server). This was caused by the sqlite3 gem dependency and was resolved quite simply.
Building native extensions. This could take a while... *** extconf.rb failed *** Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more details. You may need configuration options.
Requires the sqlite3 development headers, which were an apt-get command away.
apt-get install sqlite3 sqlite3-ruby libsqlite3-dev gem install sqlite3-ruby
Install Typo 4
gem install typo mysqldump <typo_db_name> -uusername -p > backup.sql mv /old/blog/location /old/blog_bak typo install /your/path
Copy over database.yml to new location (and also .htaccess file), then update the database.
rake migrate
Restart the webserver and voila.

Background
This blog will primarily focus on technology and coding, so before I jump in and start hammering away you might want to find out a little bit more about my background.
I am a recent convert to both Ruby on Rails and Apple Mac OS X. Before then I have been both an Ubuntu and Gentoo Linux user (and still have a Debian Linux server). I also get to dabble with Microsoft Windows which still remains a large part of my life through work commitments development .NET applications.
