Hosting

Well, I've got some hosting sorted for this project. As it's running on Rails, it was a bit more awkward, but I did manage to find an ISP who both supports Rails, and is carbon neutral. So, as you can see if you click the link at the side, I now have some space at Green WebHost. Hopefully soon there will be an application in it!

What's this all about then?

Good question! This blog is going to accompany a new project I'll be launching very soon, called the Carbon Diet. The plan is to have a very early release and to get a few friends to partake in a closed beta program until the thing is ready for proper release. I don't want to do one of those web 2.0 open beta things, because it's just so cliched, for one thing. Besides, I'm taking an agile approach to the development, so there is very little functionality at the moment. A closed beta is going to be better, as I can explain what functionality is there to my beta group without having to explain to the world as a whole why something doesn't work.

Anyway, this blog is going to be for announcing changes, talking about the development of the site, and so on. Should be interesting!
