So I finally got accepted into Joyent’s “free Accelerator’s for Facebook appications” program. I plan on documenting working through a Facebook app with Rails from beginning to end in this big push to relaunch this site. I may even release the source code too but that more or less depends on how “generous” I’m feeling. Oh and by “generous” I mean if more than 2 people read that post and actually want the source or not. We’ll see.

Also, If there are any other aspiring Ruby/Rails/Human Facebook devs out there interested in Joyent’s free Accelerator program*, you should know that it took me a few weeks to of waiting to get my account. Your time could be longer or shorter depending on demand. I personally was expecting something a little quicker and despite my inner-pulling to let you feel the same patience-pain I felt, I decided it was my duty as a decent netizen to let you know. So, enjoy!

I had a few problems trying to get the Mephisto trunk to run with the current edge Rails, my “few problems” really just being unable to run rake db:bootstrap without getting a wrong number of arguments (1 for 0) error. After trying a few things, it looked like my problems were rooted in old rubygems and rake versions, upgrading both allowed me to bootstrap just fine. Figured I’d throw this out there incase anyone else was having problems.
